The pet care service providers get calls from pet owners at odd hours or when they are busy attending to their chores. So, resorting to voicemail services is necessary for such businesses. Below is an excerpt from a voicemail for a pet service entity:
46. Hello, you’ve reached [name], [job title] at [company]. I’m currently away from my desk or on another call. Please leave a detailed message so I can return your call as soon as I get back.
.
“Hello, you’ve reached the confidential voicemail of Dr. Barb LoFrisco, CounselorBarb, a licensed mental health counselor, licensed marriage and family therapist and sex therapist. You may press # to bypass the remainder of this message. If you’d like to book an appointment, you can do so by using the “Schedule Appointment” button on the front page of my website, counselorbarb.com. If this is an emergency, please hang up and dial 211 for the crisis center or 911 for medical personnel. I am currently on the phone or in session, so please leave me a message. Your call is very important to me and will be returned within 24 business hours. If you are a current client please remember my 48 hour cancellation policy. Thank you for calling and I look forward to speaking with you.”
The next step is very important and you need to get it right. Say your phone number two times very slowly so the person has enough time to write down your number as they are listening to your message the first time.
Hello! You’ve reached [Natasha on the Product Development Team at LinkedPhone]. I’m not available at the moment but your call is important to me. Please leave your name, number, and the reason for your call and I’ll call you back as soon as possible. Thank you and have a great day!
This is it. If you are not satisfied with the custom voicemail greeting, then follow the same steps and do it again.
Here are 5 sample scripts for business voicemail greetings that will make you and your company look personable, knowledgeable, and professional. And here are some sample voicemail greeting scripts for doctors, lawyers, and dentists, in case you're not looking for business greetings. 1. Personal Business Voicemail Greeting
Don' let background noise do the talking for you. Ambient noise on your recording could be sending the wrong message to your clients. The sound of your kids arguing in the distance could be the sign of a distracting work environment. Clinking glasses and restaurant chatter may leave the impression that you don't take your work seriously. When you record your voicemail greeting choose a quiet spot free from interruption, so your message is the only thing callers hear. It's also good to avoid large, cavernous spaces where sound verberates.
You can customize each greeting for each phone number within your OpenPhone account. In addition, you can change it as often as you need.
“I hope to hear back from you”“Please call me back when you get this”“Call me at your earliest convenience”
