A busy greeting should tell callers that your phone lines are currently in use. You can direct people to wait on hold or leave a message. For example, “Hello, you’ve reached [company name].

This could include: location & directions, office hours, website URL, or social media info, as well as any pertinent company information.
Often times knowing the purpose of their calls allows me to respond to their messages by sending them emails.
