The above greeting is a professional voicemail script used by many growing and established businesses. It delivers the message quickly and efficiently, without wasting the caller’s time.

There you have it, a basic introduction into how to write the best voicemail greetings. As you have seen, they’re not as easy as you’d think, but once you get comfortable with the type of information required by each, writing and recording your own should be a piece of cake. If you’ve tried to write one yourself and still don’t ‘feel you’ve captured the right essence, then please look at one of our voicemails greeting templates. When it comes to recording it, remember to rehearse your script and speak clearly. If you don’t care for your own voice, then have someone else record it, or hire a professional voice actor. Remember, there are also free audio editing software programs like Audacity, where you can manipulate your recording until you get exactly what you want.
As I mentioned above, some words like ‘can’t’ are often mispronounced by non-native speakers and it can sound like a swear word!

When you frequently update your business greeting, there is a chance more people will listen to the message. You can update your voicemail with relevant information about your business as a way to keep your customers well informed.
Who hears that every day? You’re bound to be the subject of your customers’ conversations because you’ve further branded yourself and your company. Who knows, you may generate more call-ins from prospects with this approachable greeting as customers share your voicemail with their coworkers.
Don’t be an unprepared statistic. Use these nineteen ways to leave a voicemail that gets callbacks.
The alternative is simple: Provide in your voice message a phone number and refer the caller to an assistant, a colleague, a cell number—any way of expediting their quest. Help your caller to reach someone who can, in your absence, be helpful and succeed in keeping the business. And remember to update your voicemail message when appropriate.
Never miss an important voicemail when you’re out of the office or away from a computer. Checking your messages by phone is a snap. Just follow these five easy steps: 1. Dial your RingCentral number. 2. Press * as soon as you hear the phone ring or the recorded message play.
There are several ways to give your voice mail a professional-sounding and “crisp” image. Of course, the content of what your voice mail greeting says is very important, too. So be sure to prepare your message in advance. Too many people try to “wing-it” and then the greeting sounds less-than-professional.
And make sure in the queues you leave for yourself as notes you write it down as a reminder to say it out loud.
