A professional voicemail greeting is slightly different than a business greeting, as certain professionals may require the caller to leave specific information. For instance, a professional therapist voicemail greeting would specifically ask for contact information from the caller, as well as leave their own personal contact information in case the caller is having problems.

Here are some proven techniques for how to leave a voicemail message that gives you the best chance of getting a call back: Say the person's first name ONLY. Say your first name only followed by your company name. Keep your voicemail brief and urgent. Leave a reference name of a person and company you've worked with. How do you answer the phone professionally? Promptly answer calls. The average ring takes 6 seconds. Be warm and welcoming. Introduce yourself and your business. Speak clearly. Do not use slang or buzz words. Ask before you put people on hold. Don't just put calls through. Be prepared for your calls. How do you greet a client over the phone? Answer your phone with a "Hello" if you don't know who it is. Greet the caller by name if you know them. Use informal language with family and close friends. Introduce yourself by name when you call someone else.
