Notify the caller about when the message will be heard and when they can expect to hear back from you. If you’ll be out of the office a few hours, a few days or a couple of weeks – let them know.

Voicemail greetings for business have to be very clear, precise, and to the point. Businessmen tend to avoid frivolous talks, so it is important that you stick to the basics. On the other hand, you can be funny or a little less formal while recording a voicemail for your friends and family. However, remember to adhere to voicemail etiquette while recording these greetings. So, this is where I sign out. Leave a message, I mean a comment if you like my voicemail greeting suggestions!

As for the reason... well, I couldn't think of a suitably professional way to say "if you leave me voicemail I will probably avoid my phone for at least a week, delaying my calling you back, so Please Just Don't" ;) M T W T F S S 12 34 5 67 8 9 10 11 12 1314 1516 1718 19 20 21 2223242526 27282930 ceb - (no subject) kake - (no subject) syntaxofthings - (no subject) wild_irises - (no subject) happydork - (no subject) swaldman - (no subject) 1: fun with stationery 2: vital functions 3: [Jupiter Ascending] BEES 4: [academia, plague diaries] A Day, feat.

What separates a decent voicemail greeting from one that builds your professional image and bolsters your connection with clients and customers?
There you have it – voicemail messages for three of the situations you’ll find yourself in most of the time.
Keep it Brief. Time is money in business, so if your voicemail is long, chances are the caller will simply disengage before the cue to leave a message even sounds. Keep your voicemail short. The most should be around 30 seconds, and even that’s pressing it. We’ve grown into a country where our attention span can last only about 10 seconds in some cases, so keep it short, brief and to the point. Persuade and Engage the Caller. If someone calls your business, they already have an intention. It’s the quality of your voicemail that plays a factor if they consider you a company they’d like to deal with. This is your chance to motivate someone to engage in a meaningful conversation with you. If your voicemail is shoddy, chances are they’ll hang up, or lose motivation to continue the call. In other words, your voice mail must engage and entice someone to the point that they care enough to leave you a message.
Whether you’re out for the day or are off for the week, the first rule of an out of office voicemail greeting is: let callers know when you’ll be back! You’ll save them the frustration of continuing to call and yourself the hassle of listening to redundant voicemails. It’s also a good idea to set the expectation of whether you are answering messages while you’re away, and who they can reach for assistance in your absence.

There you have it, a basic introduction into how to write the best voicemail greetings. As you have seen, they’re not as easy as you’d think, but once you get comfortable with the type of information required by each, writing and recording your own should be a piece of cake. If you’ve tried to write one yourself and still don’t ‘feel you’ve captured the right essence, then please look at one of our voicemails greeting templates. When it comes to recording it, remember to rehearse your script and speak clearly. If you don’t care for your own voice, then have someone else record it, or hire a professional voice actor. Remember, there are also free audio editing software programs like Audacity, where you can manipulate your recording until you get exactly what you want.
