Calmly and steadily record your voicemail. Don’t rush it to the point where the customer can’t decipher everything you’ve requested on the message. To ease the process, write your voicemail down with pause points. This will ensure you annunciate everything clearly and can assist in managing your speed.
Here are some great examples of professional voicemail greetings that you can use in your business!
.
3. Use a VOIP Business Phone Solution. When someone calls your business number, you don't really want it to go to your personal cellphone voicemail. Likewise, you don't want non-business calls to hear your entire professional greeting.
Many companies offer an escape option so that if a caller ends up in a staff member’s voice mailbox, he or she can “escape” out of the mailbox and go back to the attendant menu. Use a customized auto-attendant for this situation. If you would like to leave a voicemail, please press 1 and leave your name, number, and a brief message. If you would like to return to the main menu, please press the # key.

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.
16. “Hello, you’ve reached [your name, the office of X company]. The team is currently out of the office, but we’ll be back on [date] stuffed with good food and eager to speak with you. Leave your name, number, and — if you’re so inclined — your favorite [holiday dish, Thanksgiving tradition, etc.]”
If you are in and out of your office a lot, provide the caller with the day and date. This also sends the message that the voicemail is updated on a regular basis and the call will get responded to.

The NHS *shouldn't* leave voicemail. At least, the bit where I used to work had a policy that one does not leave voicemail, since you don't know who will listen to it and thus you can't ensure confidentiality.[1]
