Thanks for your email. I will be away from the office until September 13th and will respond as soon as I can.
Start by recognizing your backup contacts for the time when you are out of the office. Make sure that, when needed, they can be available to help customers instead of you.

In this post, I’ll share what makes a good voicemail greeting — and the best voicemail greeting scripts you can use.
