Business voicemail greetings are rarely thought of as a prime way to connect with customers. But just because you're not available doesn't mean you can't make a positive impression on your customers when they reach your voicemail box.

Hello! You have reached the voicemail of John Doe . Please leave your name, phone number, and a brief message and she will return your call as soon as possible. Thank you and have a great day.
27. Hey, this is [your name], but you should know that already since you called me. I’m obviously not here right now, so I won’t patronize you by telling you what to do after the tone.

1. Have a dedicated phone just for your business. It's not expensive to get a mobile phone (take a look HERE for some) and a SIM only deal. Now, you're voicemail message can be specific to your private practice.
If there are other ways to get in touch with your business, or receive information about your products, you may want to include them in the after hours greeting. Websites and emails are often the most popular forms of alternative contact.
Make sure you keep your promises too. If you want to specify a time (which you should) ensure you get back to the customer within the timeframe.

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.
If they are calling without an expectation that you always pick up (such as if you are a business coach or a one-man shop) then thanking them for calling might make the most sense.
When you get this message, please call me back at (your number). That number again is (your number) and ask for _________. I look forward to speaking with you, and I guarantee you’ll be glad you returned this call.”
Whether you are a solo therapist recording a voicemail greeting, or you have a whole office and need a system message, don't just wing it! Take the time to actually write out a script. Read it aloud to colleagues to make sure it says what you need it to say. Make sure to identify what your service is, to ward off any callers who aren't sure they've reached the correct person.
Scripts to be altered to fit your practice’s needs: Solo Wellness Practice: “Hello. You’ve reached Molly Hill, Licensed Massage Therapist with Healing Touch. I am currently unavailable to take your call, so please state your name, phone number, and a detailed message after the beep and I will get back with you within two business days”

-…and I’ll return your call as soon as possible. I would have answered, but I was already on the phone with Bill Gates—I swear.
A robot? Seriously, a robot? Are you that lazy that you can’t set up a stinking voice mail greeting?
