Hello, this is Jenny, I’m sorry, at this moment I can’t take your call but please leave a message and I’ll be sure to call you back as soon as I can. Thank you and have a great day.
This can also work with your iPhone or Android, if the above methods aren’t working for you. Just connect your phone into the computer with a 3.5mm audio cable. More on that in a minute.
Voicemail is an automatic answering service offered by your phone service provider. After you subscribe to this service, your phone service provider’s voice mail system answers calls for you when you are unavailable to answer the phone or when your line is busy. When a message is recorded a notification is displayed.
I take it this is a first-time prospecting scenario where you’ve tried to reach them, had to leave a voicemail and now you are trying the 2nd attempt. Hopefully, you’re using a voicemail strategy that includes sending the proper email to the prospect after the first attempt.
The adjective outgoing describes someone with a friendly, easy personality. Your outgoing friend might not understand how hard it is for shy people to speak in front of an audience. If you're the only member of your outgoing family who is reserved, you might feel silent and invisible in their sociable midst. What does outgoing mean on phone?

Your voicemail is important. Keep in mind, this is essentially one of the first impressions the hiring manager will have from you. You need to make sure your voicemail is as professional as possible. Whether you are trying to be funny, trying to show off your singing abilities or shouting in the car with the windows down, chances are the hiring manager won’t be impressed. Go into a quiet room and record a simple, “Hi, you’ve reached Kim Costa. I’m sorry I missed your call, but if you please leave your name, number and a brief message I will get back to you as soon as I can. Thanks!” You really can’t go wrong with this. Trust me when I say that hiring managers probably don’t want to hear your high school’s fight song.
Before you make any calls, start with setting a goal. Will you be working on your tone? Your passion? The length of the message?
So, make your goal to find common ground, and share how knowledgeable and experienced you are, no matter who you are calling. You shouldn’t brag about your success, but there is a time and place for others to know your success. That is the key to leaving voicemail messages that get returned!
1. Enable airplane mode on your phone, so calls are automatically routed to voicemail.

It doesn’t matter what you save to your phone, computer or tablet — everything you keep on your devices should be considered private unless you give someone else permission to look through your files, images and apps.
Refer to your previous conversation to jog their memory, saying, "In our meeting earlier, you said something about your shipping needs that really stuck out to me. I'd love to ask you a question about that."
Come to rely on voicemail to catch your messages, and it’ll be frustrating when it suddenly stops working.
