Departments and teams are typically organized by function – customer service, tech support, sales, billing questions, etc. When a team is busy handling other calls, encourage your callers to leave a message and reassure them that you will get back to them within a reasonable time frame. It’s important that you actually follow through to avoid upsetting your callers.
You may be tempted to just record the message and be done with it. Remember, however, that this message will potentially leave a lasting impression on first-time callers. Take a little time to practice your speech, pronunciation, and tone of voice. You want to sound your best!

You may also not always want to pick up the phone when you do not recognize the number, or the number is withheld.
The bottom line is that a business’s situation is likely to change often and rapidly, each of which need a unique and applicable voicemail greeting to cover the circumstances and timeline. For example, callers shouldn’t reach a business-as-usual voicemail, and therefore expect a return call within the business day, if the subject they’re calling is out on vacation for two weeks. Such a lack of communication is a recipe to lose that caller’s trust and tarnish the brand’s reputation.

"I was unhappy with our service provider for the on hold music – which is listened to by citizens calling 311, Access Calgary, or any other City service or facility. I reached out to a counterpart at WestJet and he referred me to On Air. I must say that the customer service I received from the onset at On Air was night and day from what I had previously been accustomed to. They are extremely responsive, and very customer focused. I even had a late request for some holiday music and I had a new playlist in my hands in less than 24 hours. Fantastic! And most of all, Thank you!" - Kelly Brown, Telecom Engineer, Voice and Video Solutions, The City of Calgary, Calgary, AB

If, on the other hand, your clients work with a number of team members, you might consider hiring a voiceover professional to record your greeting. While a recording with a voice actor is an extra expense, the result often outweighs the cost.
