The business answering machine greeting you use should be fairly short and to the point, though you can use it as a way to demonstrate what your business has to offer. Your overall tone in the message should be professional and indicate to callers that though their call has been missed at that moment, they are important and you plan on contacting them as soon as possible.

Your business answering machine greeting should also be customized in any way you deem appropriate for your business and needs. Jotting down the greeting will prevent mistakes when recording it.
