Simply speak into your phone or computer while recording a greeting with your business phone service. If you need to create your own audio file, the voice memo app on your phone should do fine.
Once you identify your pain points, you’ll find it much easier to identify what instructions need to be present in your voicemail greetings. We hinted towards these before, so let’s just break down another example. If you want your customers to leave a voicemail, but you also want them to visit your website for additional help regarding their issue, give them a clear call to action, like a website address they can easily write down while they listen to your message.

Here’s a generic business voicemail greeting example: “Thank you for calling [company/person’s name]. We are currently unavailable, but if you leave your name, phone number, and message, we will get back to you as soon as possible.” The above greeting is a professional voicemail script used by many growing and established businesses.
If you’ve already created a custom voicemail on your iPhone, you can tap Play to see how your voicemail sounds. If you’re interested in creating a new message, tap the Custom button. From here, you can start recording your message by tapping Record and tapping Stop whenever you’re finished. Once you’re finished recording, tap on Play to make sure the message comes across as you’d like and hit Save (in the upper right) to save it as your voicemail.
