At the same time, if the prospect can’t hear or understand you, all of your work is wasted. Drink water, clear your throat, and invest in a good headset or phone. Be aware of your accent or the way you say words or numbers. And, avoid sales speak and buzzwords.
Company-level calls are usually directed to your general business number. There are occasions when everyone in the office is tied up and unable to pick up calls. It’s important to gather information about the reason for the call so that the right person or team can call them back. These greetings ensure that customers do not feel neglected while also providing assurance that their call will be attended to as soon as possible.
So what's the point? Should salespeople even bother with voicemails? Absolutely, and here's why.
1. Business voicemail greeting samples. If you have a main business phone number that’s shared with the customers or publicly listed, you’ll want to make sure it has a professional voicemail message to greet callers.
If you’re making several calls, make sure you document your messages so you can be on top of it immediately if/when your call is returned. Nothing worse (or more stupid) than getting a returned call and having no idea who it’s from.
When you leave a voicemail message, be sure to identify yourself right away. Give your return phone number at the beginning of your message so that other people don't have to listen to you twice. Speak slowly and clearly. It helps to pretend to be writing your number in the air, which will slow you down and help with clarity. Say when you can be reached.
Our final sample voicemail greeting for business is the one to use when you want to discourage someone from leaving a message, for example, when you are fielding inquiries from job applicants. We hope that you have found these voicemail greetings for business informative, if not outright usable for your purposes!
Do you have a landline at work? Make sure that all your phones, personal and business, have good clear, professional English voicemail greetings.
4. Hang-up the phone when you have listened to all the voicemails you want to save
Repeat both at least twice during your voicemail. With regards to your telephone number, pauses in your speech will give your listener a chance to catch up and not miss any details. For example, say your telephone number this way “1-2-3- pause -4-5-6- pause -7-8- pause -9-10″. If you need to leave an email address, spell it out.
Whether you come across a FSBO or a client mentions one, there are a variety of approaches you can take when calling the seller. Consider leaving a voicemail that’s focused on a potential buyer (keep in mind, you must have a client interested in their home). Give this script a try:
If you are a burglar, then we’re probably at home cleaning our weapons right now and can’t come to the phone. Otherwise, we probably aren’t home and it’s safe to leave us a message.
Try to avoid casual salutations like, “Hi” or “Hey” if this is your first time calling someone. Your introduction should be one or two sentences tops. From there you can move on to the body.
"It might evolve into something kind of special and exciting," he says. "Like a telegram once was."
