Here are several tips to consider when setting up a professional voicemail greeting:
.
You have reached the office of [Business Name]. All of our representatives are currently busy. However, if you choose to do so, you may leave a brief message, including your name, number, or email, and we’ll be sure to get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you for calling [Business Name].
This call may be recorded or monitored for quality and training purposes. If you don’t wish this call to be monitored or recorded, then please let the answering machine know when you leave your message.
However, if you don’t want to go about the hassle of hiring a professional voice-over actor and spend money on hiring a studio and equipment for a professional voice recording, virtual phone services like Grasshopper have the option of their Voice Studio, which is a virtual phone system that has been designed for entrepreneurs to enable them to sound professional and stay connected as well.
Made famous by George Costanza as you can see the clip here, the answering machine song may seem like a good idea. It's out of the box, unexpected, and definitely a novelty, but unless you're in the music business, it's probably not a good idea. You'll definitely irritate your mother (or anyone else important who calls you frequently) and you won't make a good first impression with your message.
16. “Hello, you’ve reached [your name, the office of X company]. The team is currently out of the office, but we’ll be back on [date] stuffed with good food and eager to speak with you. Leave your name, number, and — if you’re so inclined — your favorite [holiday dish, Thanksgiving tradition, etc.]”
Another great information you can put in your voicemail messages is to inform your prospects when you can reach out to them say the next morning or mid-afternoon and more so that they can be aware of when they can expect a call from you.
Now that you know what you want your customers to do when they leave a message, you have to make sure that message is coming off clearly. Run it by a couple of your colleagues and ask them if your greeting makes sense and adjust wherever necessary. If you’re speaking too fast, slow down. Accounting isn’t the most inviting profession.
-Hello, caller. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to leave your name, number, and a short message after the tone. This message will self destruct. BOOM! (not followed by a beep)

9. Verizon Visual Voicemail. This application has a minimalistic design and strictly defined functionality. When using Verizon Visual Voicemail, you get only voice mail and nothing extra.
We bought a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B with clear case and 2.5A power supply for $45 to host the service. Once that arrived, I attached the Pi to a monitor, keyboard and mouse that I already had. Using another computer, I downloaded the Raspian operating system to a microSD card which is need to boot up the Pi. You can purchase a bundle that includes a pre-loaded microSD card, but if you don’t do that, the Pi won’t boot, so you can’t use it to get the operating system.
In order to ensure the highest level of voice quality, we recommend that an additional 90 Kbps of internet bandwidth (per active call) be allocated above your current data consumption.
