Calling leads is an important part of growing your business, but it can get frustrating when you call and call and never get a reply. Having phone scripts in place can make all of the difference in the effectiveness of your lead calls. Scripts allow you to come across as confident and professional and convey all the important points you need to make. No more stumbling over your words or forgetting to mention an important factor, like your name or phone number. Scripts will help you stay consistent and make calling more enjoyable because you’ll know what works and what doesn’t.
Show that you’re human! Not everything in business needs to bland and boring. Add some personality to your voicemail while still maintaining professionalism. Do you have a fun fact about yourself or something unique to you? Share that in your voicemail and then ask for the customer to leave you with a fun fact so that you can call them back.
15. “Hello, you’ve reached the Sales Department at [Company name]. All of our representatives are currently helping clients [insert goal such as, ‘achieve 40% growth through streamlining HR’] and are unable to take your call. Instead of putting you on hold and taking up your valuable time, please leave your name, company, and phone number and we’ll give you a call back ASAP. Thank you!”
How your automated phone system greets and directs callers can make or break their customer experience. If the messages relayed by the auto-attendant are confusing, or if there’s no way they can change their mind and speak with a person, you might lose the call.
Your prospects need to hear something which can make them hold on to what you are trying to tell them and that starts with a good attractive statement.
“Thanks for calling (insert company name), where your dream is our destination. I’m helping another customer at the moment, but please leave your name and number, and I’ll return your call.”
People around us can need help at any time of the day. Many a time friends, family, boss, colleagues, relatives, and acquaintances need to inform us of something important at odd hours. Some may know when to call you and some of them won’t. In cases where you are not accessible, leaving a simple voicemail on your phone can ease their worry.
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.

(Posted because last time I mentioned thinking about doing this, a lot of you said WOW YES I SHOULD DO THAT THING-- so here is the wording I settled on, but it'd be great to know what you decide on if you do something similar!)
If you’re working remotely now, but your mobile number isn’t on your business cards, add your mobile number to your business line’s voicemail message! If you’re worried that people will start calling your cellphone at all hours of the night – they won’t. They’ll treat it just with just as much respect as your business line.
