The biggest barrier is actually getting them to leave the voicemail in the first place. Don’t get in your own way by recording a long, drawn-out voicemail greeting that might do more to convince them to hang up than actually leave a message.
01Hello this is [your name], I’m either on another call or away from my desk. Please leave your details, along with a short message and I’ll get back to you. This is created by individual staff for their specific number or extensions. It’s a great voicemail greeting for work when you are on another line or away from your desk.
Tone - select the right tone for your business brand. If your target market are young millennials, then the script would most likely include some slang words, be quite laid back and the script would be recorded in an energetic tone. If you primarily service the business market, then the script would be more articulate and recorded with a more professional tone.
2. What to Say in a Voicemail Message. When unable to answer the phone, a voicemail message can be important. Below are examples of what to say in a voicemail message.
Hello! You have reached the voicemail of John Doe . Please leave your name, phone number, and a brief message and she will return your call as soon as possible. Thank you and have a great day.
I’m out walking my donkey but as soon as I get my ass back in I’ll call you back. Leave me a message.
As a bonus, here is an example of our own holiday voicemail greeting here at OpenPhone:
10. Hi Voicemail. Whenever you need a tool to help you increase your productivity and save your personal time, Hi Voicemail may be of interest to you. This application is suitable for working with corporate customers, improving the quality of service and keeping them in touch.
Education Details: These can maintain professionalism or simply be humorous to get a laugh from your caller. Here are some examples below: Hello, I’m unable to get to my phone right now to take your call. But my answering machine is able to, so have a chat with it instead. Wait for the beep! Hello, I am Maria’s answering machine.
Include Basic Information: Your voicemail greeting should include basic information such as your hours of operation and location. This will help you to screen out calls during office hours, and also unnecessary voicemail inquiries.
Voicemail Number: This will be used as a unique identifier for your mailbox. The minimum is adding one digit to up to ten digits, for example you can set 1 or 5432897. NOTE: The number cannot be set to 0. If you have your mailbox to 0 it's suggested to change to a different value to prevent issues with the voicemail service.
When you create a voicemail message, the next thing you need to ensure is that your prospects are aware that they have reached the right person so no confusion takes place.
Please leave your contact info, full name, and other details and I’ll call you back once I’m back in the [city/country/area]. Ciao for now!”
I am not a voice talent, and I hate the sound of my own voice. Every time I lose my cell phone (daily), I call it from another line to help myself find it. And every time I do this, I wish my voicemail message sounded…different. I’m always reminded that I should sit down and rerecord it, so it makes a more professional first impression.
Before any business can create clear, easy to hear (and understand) recorded audio messages, they need the right recording equipment. Many businesses try to get by with using audio recorded on a standard recording device.
