A good voicemail greeting is short and professional, lets people know that you’ll get back to them, and invites callers to continue engaging with a call-to-action.

3.) Benvenuti alla John Doe. Al momento non possiamo rispondere personalmente alla vostra chiamata, oppure ci state chiamando fuori dall’orario di lavoro. Si prega di lasciare un messaggio con il vostro nome e numero di telefono – vi richiameremo al più presto possibile. Grazie e arrivederci.
We’re all familiar with this type of voicemail greeting. Simply put, a caller reaches you by dialing your number or extension directly. For an optimal personal voicemail greeting, be clear about who you are, the team you’re on, and when the caller can expect a callback. Unlike company and department voicemail greetings, you may not be able to configure a greeting for open and closed business hours. If that’s the case, use a general voicemail greeting that accommodates both scenarios.
When recording, choose a quiet area, speak clearly, and use your full name (first and last).
