The best voicemail messages are friendly, concise, and get straight to the point. So, what is a good voicemail script? In this post, we’ll discuss why you need a script, give you five voicemail templates, and show you how to record a professional greeting.
A voicemail greeting is a simple message that plays before callers leave a message. It may play either when you don’t answer or if your phone is off. A professional greeting may encourage people to leave messages, which in turn makes it easier for you to get back in touch. Keeping that communication open and efficient may lead to better business relationships. It also helps you put forth a professional image for your business.

Another tactic here is to add some urgency, such as a limited time, to your incentive.
For example, you could say something like “I was going over your company’s numbers for last year and I saw something really interesting in the first quarter… I’d love to talk about it when you call.”
You can’t call someone back if you don’t have their number. It seems basic, but it’s easy to forget. So a quick reminder can go a long way.
First of all, you need to have a sound upbeat in your voicemail. Make sure you have a smile on your face while recording your voicemail. If you are unhappy, this is definitely evident in your message. As a business owner, of course, you aim for happy customers. At this point, your first duty towards your customers will be to look happy.
