For those with voicemail greetings that get changed about as often as a new president is elected, know that this is doing a serious disservice to the caller-recipient relationship. It signals to callers that the business is anything but an authority, most likely not very detail oriented, and has questionable overall credibility and competency.
ProTip: When recording a business voicemail greeting, do a trial run and listen to your message once it’s recorded to make sure it sounds great.

With German-engineered sound design, the new Snom series is designed to provide the small business market with the best sound quality and make it easier to add new people and integrate employees who use their mobile phone more than their desk phone. The new platform can start with just 2 lines and 2 phones, then easily grow up to 100 lines and up to 300 cordless, desk phones, and smartphone mobile users. And it’s your choice to have your phone services hosted in the cloud or installed to traditional landline phone lines in your closet — whatever makes the best financial sense for your organization right now.
You may also have the option to record a message and then upload it to your voicemail system.
Number portability is supported: you can port to us your old PSTN number and carry it with you everywhere in the world.
Writing a script doesn’t mean you have to write a speech. A simple greeting is fine, like this sample voicemail message:

All of our representatives are currently helping clients [insert goal such as, 'achieve 40% growth through streamlining HR operations'] and are unable to take your call. Please leave your name, company, and phone number and we'll give you a call back ASAP. Thank you!"
