35. Hi, you’ve reached the voicemail of [your name] at [your company]. I’m away from my desk, in a meeting or on the other line. Please leave your name, number and a brief message after the tone and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
Here are some of the examples that we have picked for you. By getting inspired by these, you can come up with your own unique greetings too.
Although I’ve spent some time tinkering with and learning Python over the last few months, I don’t have much experience with building apps that call third-party APIs, such as those from Twilio. Luckily, Twilio offers several Quickstart examples for a number of programming languages. And one of those examples shows to how to create a Python app that accepts incoming calls, plays a voicemail greeting and records a caller message. This is the Quickstart code that I tweaked for our project.
Your message should be 20 seconds at most. Remember, your clients or co-workers may listen to this dozens of times.
Another great thing you can do in your voicemail messages is to leave a few spaces for your prospects to record their message, most of the prospects will do it because they know they will be reached out sooner given the situation of their need.
20. “Hey there! Thanks for calling [company]. We are unable to answer the phone right now but will get back to you right after the holidays. We hope it’s not an emergency, but if so, we’ve got you covered. Contact us at [company email/other support lines] and we’ll get back to you ASAP. Please be sure to leave your name, phone number, and a brief message to let us know the reason for your call. Thank you and have a great day.” Available even during holiday emergencies? Let your callers know via your voicemail greeting.
Selection of pre-recorded phone greetings and on hold messages: In order to select your desired phone message, please follow steps 1,2 and 3 in order . Our pre-recorded message packages are available in all common audio formats (mp3 / wave / alaw / ulaw / 16bit / 18bit).
Before creating and running the Python app that powers the voicemail, the Twilio libraries need to be installed on the Pi through one of these three commands in the Terminal app. Additionally, the Flask micro web development framework needs to be installed in the Terminal. Flask sets up a light web server for the Twilio APIs to interact with while our Python scripts provide instructions for how to handle incoming calls.
And, if you cannot write your own scripts and require some help, for just $175, the Grasshopper team can both script your greeting and record it for you as well. And, the best part is that for customers who have opted for the Max Plan, this service is free.

39. Hi, this is [your name]. I’m not at my desk right now, so leave a message and I’ll call you back within 24 hours.
During the holiday season, make your customers feel more welcome and give them the customer experience they hope through your voicemail by informing them that you will contact them after the holiday season.
When on vacation, provide your callers with a return date and a back-up contact person to accommodate emergencies. This prevents you from potentially damaging a valued relationship while you enjoy some time off.
If you drone on and on, there is a good chance that some of your callers are going to hang up before leaving their message.
Hi, thanks for calling the residence of the Jennings Family. As you can tell, no one’s home to answer your call, but just leave your name, number and message and we’ll get back as soon as we can. Thanks
