I got a new cell phone recently. As the world stood in line to pick up the latest iPhone 8, I graduated to the 6S. I pride myself on that actually. As with all new phones in the 21st century, the voicemail must be set up anew. I used the default message for the first few days, but finally settled down to record a more personal greeting.
The most professional voicemail message should include a formal tone and specific instructions. For example, you may say “Hello, you’ve reached [your name], [job title] at [business name]. I’m sorry to have missed your call. Please leave your name, contact information, and reason for calling so I can get back to you promptly.”
.
In addition to your tone of voice and gaining confidence in how you speak, you can eliminate certain phrases that imply desperation.
Though it may seem weird and nonsensical to you, it really works. When you smile as you speak, you are able to sound happy, cheerful, and upbeat. Don’t knock it ‘til you try it.
