5. Hi, this is [your name]. I can’t get to the phone right now, but please leave a message with your name and number, and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
If it works better for you, offer your callers the option to email you, or even send over a text to a VoIP texting app, or even your personal number if you don’t mind. Many people will prefer the ability to quickly text or email, and callers will appreciate the increased level of service.
Not everyone will observe the same holidays, and not every business or even member of your team will be around at the same time or even days. It is also completely possible that your business will stay open, but adjust operating hours. Either way, recording a personalized holiday greeting for your business can go a long way in improving your customer’s experience.
"It's been one of the best things that we've ever done, really," Blanchard says. "Productivity's gone up and we've just got so much more time."
You can also set the voicemail greeting for Call Queues and Ring Groups in 8x8 Admin Console by following the same steps - just edit the relevant Ring Group or Call Queue and follow from step 5.
Pro Tip: Smile while you’re recording your greeting and your voice will sound pleasant.
These are just a few ideas to get the gears turning. These are simple examples, but don’t be afraid to show a little personality.

7.) Welcome to the law office John Doe. Sorry, we're currently unable to answer your call personally, as you call during our annual holidays.

I recommend Sound Telecom to anyone who wants their phones answered by a living, breathing person who is professional and courteous at all times. When I need to forward my calls, it is a stress-free experience.
18. "Hi, you've reached [your name]. I'm away from [date] to [date]. If you need help with [X] before then, please contact [name] at [phone number]. Everyone else, please leave your name and number and I'll return your call when I return. Thanks and have a great day."
Since I pride myself in being responsible, if I don’t receive a return call I have to assume I wrote down wrong number. If I were irresponsible I would just blow it off and not care. But if I wrote down the wrong number I have a responsibility to get a hold of this person. This extra work combined with wondering if it’s the right number, leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
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.]”
Remember to include your name and the name of your business separately so the caller can name you when leaving a message and in any subsequent communication.
