4. "Hello, you've reached [your name and title]. I'm currently out on parental leave until [date]. In the meantime, please direct all phone calls to [alternate contact name] at [phone number] and emails to [email address].
One of the rules you should remember is to speak a bit slowly and clearly so that your callers are able to understand more easily what is being said.

There you have it, a basic introduction into how to write the best voicemail greetings. As you have seen, they’re not as easy as you’d think, but once you get comfortable with the type of information required by each, writing and recording your own should be a piece of cake. If you’ve tried to write one yourself and still don’t ‘feel you’ve captured the right essence, then please look at one of our voicemails greeting templates. When it comes to recording it, remember to rehearse your script and speak clearly. If you don’t care for your own voice, then have someone else record it, or hire a professional voice actor. Remember, there are also free audio editing software programs like Audacity, where you can manipulate your recording until you get exactly what you want.
Our sophisticated voice mail screening capabilities at Dexcomm can save you money and increase your efficiency in the office. Call screening options can route callers to specific voice mail boxes and ensure that only callers who are in need of urgent care get through to your on-call personnel. We can setup multiple greetings depending on the time of day or day of the week so your patients or clients are clear on the status of closures or instructions that might change depending on when they might be calling.
