1. "Hi, you've reached [your name] at [your company]. I'm unavailable right now — probably helping [type of company] get [X results, e.g. ‘ double their leads in 60 days,' ‘hire the best and brightest engineers,' ‘convert 40% more customers.']
If you have an assistant, include their name and contact information in your greeting. If you have a hard time delegating tasks, this is an excellent way to start building it into your processes.

When you’re using the traditional voicemail system, your carrier dictates some messages you’re going to store in your voicemail box. But with a virtual system, you can store and retrieve messages whenever you want. The cloud also allows you to convert the voicemail audio files and texts and send them via email to relevant departments for further screening.

It’s imperative for any business owner and/or entrepreneur to have a professional, snappy and appropriate voicemail greeting for their business. Automated greetings will only help current customers stay in touch with you and you will create a great first impression on potential clients.

Sound quality is another factor to consider when it comes to getting the best answering machine. If you go into a store and listen to various models, you can get a pretty good idea about which machines sound best from the owner's end. When it comes to which answering machines sound best to callers, however, you might have to do a little more research. Think about answering machines that you have called and that have a clear, crisp sound. If you have friends or colleagues who use answering machines that you like, find out which kinds they use.
– Thank you for calling XYZ Company. We are currently unavailable to take your call. Our business hours are nine to five, Monday through Friday.

Press 9 for a company directory, or hold on to leave a message for the operator. If this is an emergency, please enter 911 now to be connected with the after-hours support personnel.
Calls to this group would reach Winnie T. Pooh’s phone first before switching to Charlie Chaplin’s phone. When the slider bars overlap in the GIF, this is where the same call would ring both users simultaneously. When the series of calls ends, it can terminate at a voicemail box of your choosing. Because Winnie T. Pooh would be the department lead in this situation, the caller would ultimately reach his voicemail if neither individual in the group answered their phones.
We’re all familiar with this type of voicemail greeting. Simply put, a caller reaches you by dialing your number or extension directly. For an optimal personal voicemail greeting, be clear about who you are, the team you’re on, and when the caller can expect a callback. Unlike company and department voicemail greetings, you may not be able to configure a greeting for open and closed business hours. If that’s the case, use a general voicemail greeting that accommodates both scenarios.
