Sorry, Chris and Susan aren’t here right now. Please leave your name and number after the tone. If you are calling regarding an outstanding debt, please leave your message before the tone.
To prevent this from happening, we recommend adjusting the voicemail box settings to delete messages after notification. After the system sends you an email with the voicemail message, the system will automatically remove the messages from the voicemail box. Click on the box in front of Delete after Notification? Then click on Save Changes In the case where the voicemail box is already full, you will need to access your User Portal to delete the voicemails. By default, logging into the User Portal (or switch to the User Portal for an Admin) will bring you to the Voicemails page. You will then have three options, Mark as New, Mark as Listened and Mark as Deleted. Select Mark as Deleted.

4. Vacation Day Voicemail Greeting. If your business is off for a holiday, it's a common courtesy to update your voicemail to acknowledge the closure. Mention the closure in the beginning of the message, convey when your business is reopening, and don't forget to wish the callers a happy holiday if the occasion calls for it.
Education Details: 88 Creative Answering Machine Messages. 1. Hi. Now you say something. 2. Hi, I'm not home right now but my answering machine is, so you can talk to it instead. Wait for the beep. 3. You know what I hate about answering machine messages? They go on and on, wasting your time.

You may think this is boring, but it’s what works. Leave the sales talk and the promotion for when you call them back. Leaving a greeting is all well and good, but if it has no context you’re going to struggle to stop the person from giving up on you. Make sure people know that they’ve reached the right place. Hello, this is the office of X, the Y department. Please leave your name, reason for calling, and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. By mentioning the specific department or office they’ve reached, you’re reminding them that they’ve reached the right place, and this is not some generic support department they’ve been redirected to. We talk to lots of different people every day. Make sure you remind people of who you are, and why you’re the best person to handle their call (and more importantly their valuable time). Hello, my name is X, the Senior Manager of Y, I’m sorry I’m unavailable right now, but if you leave your number I’ll return your call as soon as I can. Not only have you revealed who you are, but you’ve also given them the reassurance that their call is important to you. It leaves the right impression. The order of your words can seriously impact how your greeting is received. Research shows that we remember the first and last items on a list best, so the statements that matter most are those at the beginning and those at the end. Hello, you have reached X. I’m out of the office at the moment. Provide me with your contact details and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. Do you see how important the order of the words is? The name comes first and the call to action is last. Most people will put all this important information in the middle of their greeting. It may not seem like a big difference, but it really matters. It can be tempting to try to fit as much information into a voicemail greeting as possible. Don’t do that. Sometimes less is more. Try to incorporate some strategic pauses into your greeting, so you can let everything sink in. Hello, this is X from Y. [Pause] I am not available to take your call right now. [Pause] If you are calling about Z, then please leave your name and number and I will get back to you as soon as you can.
7. "Hello, this is [your name] at [company]. Thanks for calling. Please leave your name, number, and the reason you'd like to chat, and I'll get back to you ASAP.

When you’re closed for the holiday, it’s good to forgo your usual out-of-office greeting for a custom holiday message. Keep it cheery and brief, and be sure to let callers know when you’ll resume normal business operations.
Practice makes perfect. Again, another obvious one, but it has to be stressed. If you want your voicemail greetings to come off as genuine, you have to practice. If you simply throw together a greeting that sounds and feels rushed, your customers aren’t going to let you get away with it. You will come off as if you don’t really care, and that won’t convince anyone you’re prioritizing the customer experience.
