Here I'm referring to lines such as "Please call me back" or "I'll check in again on X date." Because they're generic, these asks don't increase the buyer's feeling of responsibility. Instead, I suggest posing your specific question and ending the call there.

Never use voicemail as a way to avoid speaking with someone. It doesn't help, and a person would have to be terminally dense not to figure out your game. If you must call when you know the other person isn't available, say, "I know you won't be able to take the call now, but I wanted to let you know that..."
I'm not available to answer the phone right now. My office hours are Monday through Thursday, 10 am to 4 pm. Please leave your name and phone number and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. 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.
13. "Hello, you've reached [company]. If you're looking for information on [X], please check out our [Facebook page, company website, etc.] If you want to know more about [Y], take a look at [Z page on our site, our YouTube channel, etc.] Still have more questions, or just want to chat with our team? Leave your name and number, and we'll return your call straight away."
As I mentioned above, some words like ‘can’t’ are often mispronounced by non-native speakers and it can sound like a swear word!
Hey amigos, you are listening to English Made Simple, this is episode number 178, number one-hundred and seventy-eight, numero ciento setenta y ocho.
Many messaging apps now offer the ability to send voice messages to contacts without having to make a phone call in the first place. Using this method, you're bypassing a phone call and voicemail entirely, but it serves the same purpose.
3. Use a male-to-male headphone cable (that is, one with connectors at both ends) to connect your phone to your computer’s “Line In” jack. That cable shouldn’t run you more than a few bucks. Note that some computers, particularly Macs, only have one audio port that serves as both input and output.
It’s going to be something like that. It’s a bit long isn’t it? Haha It goes against my advice! haha
To access voice mail settings in the new Outlook on the web, select Settings > View all Outlook settings > General > Voice mail.
Record a personalized greeting, up to 3 minutes long. A common template you can follow is: "You've reached [name]. We can't get to the phone right now, but if you leave a message, we'll call you back."
Here are a few more ways to light a fire under the contact so they call or email you back:
You may feel the need to erase your voicemail for many reasons, other than just trying to rekindle your old love! Maybe you are leaving a voicemail to your boss and you use inappropriate language in the heat of the moment. Perhaps you are sending a voicemail to your supplier and miss out important details. Sometimes you may not word your message properly, or you might leave a voicemail that is difficult to comprehend.
3. To permanently delete the message, click on the trashcan icon, either found below the voicemail details or at the top right-hand corner.
If you want your prospects to get back to you, you better sound exciting. If you have a monotone voice, you’re almost certainly not going to get a response.
In the U.K. and most of Europe it is considered good manners to leave a slightly longer answering message as it gives the person time to adjust to the fact that they've been put through to an answering machine, compose a message in their head and then get ready to speak. It also leaves the caller with the impression of someone who is calm, composed, polite and not rushing around like a chicken without a head.
