How much attention do you pay to the greeting when transferred to voicemail? Often times, small business voicemail messages are outdated or so generic that listeners tune out until they hear the beep. You can change the impression that your voicemail recording leaves on your callers by following these steps:
7. “Hi, this is [your name]. I’m either on a call or away from my desk. Please leave your name, number, and a brief message and I’ll get back to you. Thank you.”

5) Sound genuine. Smile when you record your greeting. At the same time, try to find a good balance in your voice that is not too over the top and yet not monotone.

After hours, though, it could be easier to send callers directly to a central voicemail box. This can work well for a small business that won’t need to field a lot of late-night calls.

Forwarding options like this can send you a copy of the recording, not just a link to a web portal. This won’t substitute for a visit to the portal to clear out old messages, but it can provide you with useful information like the date, time, caller identification, and of course the content of messages.
Voicemails don’t necessarily have to be monotonous or extremely jazzy or funky. What you should be looking for is a balance between the two. Whenever you call someone and their voicemail greeting is playing, it tells you a lot about who they are, as a person. Which is why, you’ve got to put a little bit of “you” when it comes to voicemail. And the best part about all of this is, since you couldn’t come to the phone, at least the callers are having a good time listening to the message.
Josh, thanks a lot for this. I did it, and got a prerecorded message uploaded to Skype. The audio quality is a little “mooshy” and distorted, but I guess it’s better than trying to record with a speaker up to a microphone. Any idea how to improve the audio quality?

The most professional voicemail message should include a formal tone and specific instructions. For example, you may say “Hello, you’ve reached [your name], [job title] at [business name]. I’m sorry to have missed your call. Please leave your name, contact information, and reason for calling so I can get back to you promptly.”
Hello, (your name) summer home. Some are home, some aren’t. Leave your message at the tone.
