I personally hate leaving voicemail messages because more times than not, I never hear back from the person I left a message with.
In this post, I’ll share what makes a good voicemail greeting — and the best voicemail greeting scripts you can use.
.
A phone call to your business is often the first encounter your customers and prospects have with your company. If no one is available to take the call, having the best professional voicemail greetings possible is important to leave a great first impression and to ensure that business opportunities don’t slip by.
Don’t rush. It’s important to speak slowly and clearly when leaving your next voicemail greeting. Have you ever called someone and the message sounds like one big word? Don’t be that guy. Pronounce your words and take pauses between your sentences
Leave out excuses like “I’m probably with a client right now” or “I’m unable to answer the phone right now” – it’s obvious you can’t answer your phone if a caller is listening to your voicemail greeting!

Hi, this is Tom, the sales manager at Orlando Powersports.

Leave a message, and I will call you back as soon as possible. Thanks for calling!
