Regardless of whether the prospect was actively screening calls or simply away from their desk when the phone rang, your number will pop up as a missed call. And if there's no accompanying voicemail? Well, it must not have been terribly important.

Recording Your Greetings Press the Message key on your Grandstream phone or press * 97 from the phone Enter your password. In default, this your extension number, followed by the # key. Press 0 for Mailbox Options. You have the option of recording up to three greetings.
Find a piece of connective tissue, such as an alma mater, a favorite sports team, or a common pet (Iâm a dog lover, personally). This opens the conversation and shows that youâve done your research.
Your research should include finding other people in the prospectâs organization. Selecting the right people, such as the prospectâs manager or department head, facilitates the ability to build rapport and adds a sense of urgency when you mention them in the voicemail.
In your email mention that you are following up with your voicemail; that level of synergy, communication and integrity is sure to wow any professional and leave them with the impression you do what you say youâre going to do and you are organized.

Thanks. 2. Company Wide Voicemail Greeting. You want to be a little more formal when you're recording a business voicemail greeting for your company.
You know that your callers are making inferences about your business and brand. If you want your voicemail recording to leave a positive impression, smile when you record it! Research shows that smiling affects how we speak, and listeners are not only able to identify that people are smiling, but also what the intent is of the smile based on voice intonation alone.
When recording, choose a quiet area, speak clearly, and use your full name (first and last).
Sort of like putting the most important information above the fold in a news article, you have to front-load your voicemail with the most compelling and relevant information. Stating your name and company is not compelling, and itâs not as relevant as what you can do for the contact. What the person hears is, âIâm a salesperson and I want your money.â Thatâs the quickest way to get your voicemail deleted.
