The unavailable message is the standard greeting callers hear when they reach your voicemail box. It is the greeting that you can use consistently throughout the work year.
On hold messages can be recorded for many purposes, such as promoting your business, answering FAQs or announcing important customer service information. It's important to be clear in the message you are trying to get across. Confusion leads to disengagement and reflects badly on the brand. Determining your callers' wait times is necessary to determine the required length of the on-hold message. Making the recording too short can lead to the message being played too many times. This can be repetitive and lose the caller's attention while they hold.

Not many might consider it, but your business voicemail greeting is probably more important than you think. Now, we probably all hate recording those generic voicemail greetings at home or on our cell phones. But when it comes to our business ā a generic, lifeless robotic greeting probably just wonāt cut it. And thanks to the software that comes with your business VoIP solution, it is easier than ever to change your greetings on the fly.
A word of warning: These greetings will not do you any favors if youāre in the midst of a job hunt or work in a conservative industry. Always remember your target personas. If thereās a chance they wonāt appreciate your sense of humor, opt for a straightforward greeting instead. āThis is Bond. James Bond. Okay, itās really [your last name]. [Your first name] [your last name]. Iāll get back to you as soon as Iām done helping M16 save the world ā which will probably be tomorrow at the latest. Have a good day.ā āHmm. Gryffindor ā¦ No, Ravenclaw. Yes, you definitely belong in Ravenclaw. *Pause.* Okay, you havenāt reached the Sorting Hat ā itās the voicemail of [your name]. Please leave your name and number (and just for fun, the Harry Potter house you think you belong in) and Iāll return your call as soon as possible.ā āHello! Youāve gotten the voicemail of [your name]. Leave your name, contact info, and the answer to the eternal question āWhich came first, the chicken or the egg?ā Anyone who gets it right will receive a call back.ā
For example, a message like, āHi, this is Jim. You know what to do.ā Well, not everyone is going to know what to doāi.e. they wonāt leave you inclusive information. Additionally, they may not leave you a message at all. Aside from this, humor can again be detrimental to your message, this time lending itself to ambiguity and costing you clarity. For example, if a message read, āHi this is Jim, sorry I canāt answer your call right now. Please leave your name and number and Iāll call you as soon as I can, but you already knew that right? Do I need to tell you what to do?ā This is worse than the previous example as this is confusing and can also come across as rude and unprofessional. Complicating a greeting with phrasing like this is sure to cause some harm. e. Ignoring Personality & Identity: Donāt use computer generated greetings. Some users leave default messages (āyouāve reached the voicemail box of 777-777-777, please leave a message). Believe it or not, even this can cause problems. Callers may be unsure if the voicemail box belongs to you; therefore, they donāt leave a message. Also, some may even be uncomfortable leaving information through a message in a nameless voice message box. As such, impersonalization can cause ambiguity, which again can hurt the effectiveness of your voice message system. This doesnāt mean you have to make an elaborate greeting if you donāt want to, just insert your voice and name so at least callers know theyāre calling the right person.
