Shawn Hakl is head of new products for Verizon's business division. Before the digital era, he says more than 80 percent of business lines had voice mail. Now, he estimates only a third of office phones have it.
Combine with a Business Intro Message to provide menu options and assist in telephone navigation. As opposed to the passive nature of Messages On Hold, voice prompts are interactive. They are designed to bring out a physical reaction from the caller, a call to action. And because voice prompts are directive, it’s important they’re concise, well written, and recorded by a professional voice artist.

A few short years after voice mail was developed in the late 1970s, it quickly became an essential business tool.
"I'm sorry�" followed by the mailbox owner's name (as recorded by the owner or administrator), then "�is currently on the phone" and then the fixed system prompt, "Begin speaking after the tone, then hang-up when you are finished or press any key for further options."
Our TIP: Our prompts configurator helps you find the right voice and also helps you with text suggestions, selection of music and speakers demos. With just a few clicks, you can compile your selection or desired prompt(s) and send it to us. Voicemail Greetings are the most used telephone messages. The opening hours should be called and maybe your website and/or email address.

Leave your contact info and reason for calling and I'll get in touch then."
In both the consumer and business world, it’s becoming more common to hear voicemail prompts that warn callers that their messages might not be heard for a while and suggest that they send a text message or email instead.
