“If I leave a voicemail message on my first call in the morning, and I get voicemail again on my second attempt (either later that day or the next time I try and reach them) what do I say when that happens?”
Hello, this is Joan Tracy. I’m out of the office until Tuesday, May 23rd. I’ll be sure to return your call when I get back to the office, however, if you need immediate assistance, please call my colleague Sue at 444-444-4444. Thank you.

2. Professional voicemail greetings for your business cell phone number. It’s a good practice for each of your team members to have their own personal business phone numbers.
Honestly this is just common sense if you stop thinking about yourself for a second and instead consider what it is like when you call someone expecting to talk to a person, and instead get put through to a machine. It takes a little time to change gears, mentally identify the key points and compose a message. lucabrasi Aug. 2, 2014 12:55 pm JST
People pay attention when their name is mentioned. After all, they’ve been conditioned to pay attention to their name their whole life.
Voicemail #2: "Jerry, I forgot to leave my name and number. This is Sarah Griffin from Acme Corp. You can reach me at 884-867-5309. Thanks."
Note: to fill someone is means to give them necessary details and keep them up-to-date with information.
You prove you've been paying attention by referring to pain points they've previously mentioned and kept the conversation centered around benefiting the prospect. You've also slipped in a specific timeline for when you'd like to connect.
Call 800-201-4099. A representative will ask you a series of questions to verify your identity, and then will reset your PIN for you.
Sometimes a little humor is the perfect tactic to break through a prospect's defenses and get them to call you back. This script adapted from Michael Freer will make your leads chuckle and be much more inclined to respond.
Hi All, Welcome back to my channel! Talking on the phone and even leaving voicemails may seem like a thing of the past but believe me it is still happening-
"Dear [Prospect's Name], this is [Your Name]. On [Date of Last Contact], I contacted you about [Reason for Previous Call] and as I haven’t heard from you, I can only assume you're either, one, not interested and I’m simply clogging up your voicemail with annoying spam messages; or, two, you desperately want to contact me, but you’re trapped under a fallen filing cabinet and can’t reach your phone. Please let me know which one it is. I'll gladly send help if it's the latter. Just call me back at [Your Phone Number]. Thanks for your time!"
Play on phone enables you to play your voice mail messages over a telephone using the phone number you specify.
Voicemail Greeting Sample “Hello, you’ve reached [name] at [company]. I’m unable to come to the phone right now. Leave your name and number, and I’ll return your call as soon as I’m free. Thank you.” Which web driven technology allows agents or specialists to approach customers while they are online and offer assistance? Keep the length between 20-30 seconds. Lead with information relevant to the prospect. Ask a question you wouldn’t pose in an email. Don’t use a traditional close. Don’t hang up without leaving a voicemail. Use your normal tone of voice. Leave voicemails at the end of the day. What is the most professional voicemail message?
Dan Grim, CEO/Founder of Good Stuff Tonics and Melior Botanicals, keeps his script even simpler:
That's where Slydial comes in. It's a service that lets a caller go directly into a mobile number's voicemail. Even better, the basic service is free, and no signup is required to use it unless you need more functionality.
A commonly overlooked aspect of voicemail etiquette is your own mailbox greeting. A lot of us simply set it and forget it when we first get our phones, which for some of us was when we were teens, or we don’t have anything set up at all.
