It's easy to get carried away in a voicemail and include more detail than is necessary. We've all been in that situation where the automated or pre-recorded voice on the end of the line goes on and on with more information than you can take in.
Some of us may still remember a time when voicemail was a blank canvas for pranksters and humorists. They would use voicemail greetings as a place to begin recordings as if they were answering the phone (“Hello? I can’t hear you… Just kidding! Leave a message…”) or to flash some personality with music or themed messages. Unless your business is a costume rental facility or joke and magic trick shop, it’s best to avoid this strategy. Instead, try to remember a few key points to focus on-
1. Hi this is [you name], I’m either away from my desk or on the phone, please leave your name and number along with a short message and I’ll be sure to get back to you.
While it’s not necessary to memorize the script, it’s an added advantage when your call representatives have practiced reading it over and over again. By doing so, the flow of the script is clear to them. This familiarity can avoid confusion or dead airs during the call when your callers may be confused as to what the next word may be, for instance.
A business voicemail greeting or message should be of a high-quality sound recording that sounds very clear and free of any background noise. This can only be achieved if the recording is done in a sound studio with high-quality recording equipment. A professional voice-over artist would either have access to a professional recording studio or own a home recording setup.

You can think of this process as the editing step before publishing an article. It’s an extra step to fine-tune the piece such that you’re a hundred percent sure about the grammar, tone, and even the accuracy and availability of all the necessary information. As a rule of thumb, don’t use any voicemail that you think is subpar.
Don’t make potential customers scramble for a pen and paper when they see or hear your phone number in an ad!
7.) End on a high note! You don’t necessarily need to say “Goodbye” at the end of a voicemail, because you didn’t really talk to anyone. Instead, try something like, “Look forward to chatting with you!” Use the word “with” instead of “to.” It sounds less like the person is going to receive a parental or boss “talking to” and more like two people who are eager to connect with one another on the phone. It’s a subtle difference, yet it’s a gracious one!
26. Thank you for calling [your name] at [company name]. Unfortunately, I can’t take your call right now. Please leave your name, number and a message, and I will call you back as soon as I have the opportunity.
