“Hey, this is [your name] over at [XYZ company]. So anyway I’m about to give in my resignation right now. Please don’t call here again. Just kidding!

If your recording is vague, confusing, or drags on, customers will lose interest and hang up the phone instead of leaving a voicemail message. To help you create an effective after hours announcement, here are some best practices and sample scripts you can employ.
Random facts could include their favorite movie, vacation spot, candy, or television show. Regardless of what you choose, it will surprise your caller and more than likely make them leave a message if they were considering hanging up.

3. Hello. Oh hi, how are you? It has been so long. How have you been? We have to meet this weekend. How about I call you around… beep.
Oh lord…is it you…again? Well, if you must, leave a name and number after the beep. I’ll try to return the call, if I can stand it, that is.
But, what do you say on your message? Similar to your phone greeting, your voicemail greeting should state your private practice name and instructions on what information to leave on the message (such as name, number, and the best time to call back). Include instructions on what callers should do in case of emergency.

6.) Bem-vindo a John Doe. Devido à uma manutenção, não podemos atender a sua chamada no momento. Você pode escrever um e-mail para [email protected]. Seu e-mail será respondido por nossos funcionários o mais rápido possível. Pedimos desculpas pela restrição temporária! Obrigado pela sua compreensão
7. Password protect your voicemail. There are reports of voicemail being hacked, so protect yourself and your clients by adding a password. If you can dial in from externally to pick up messages, you should have an option to add password and on a mobile, there should be a password option in the menu.
And remember, while you’re busy returning your calls, Blitz can be automating other parts of your sales process. We can assign leads to your staff or even send emails to your customers.
Your voicemail is set up with a default greeting, but you can record a personal greeting any time you want.
