AUDIX voice prompts tell you what to do at every step in a task. Once you have selected the appropriate Activity Menu Option, you can rely solely on the voice prompts to figure out what to do.
This script comes from Donato Diorio and it's quite simple and to the point. But it still does a great job of highlighting prospect benefits and the follow-up plan.

4. Before each voicemail message is played, enter the number associated with deleting a message.
4. Hang-up the phone when you have listened to all the voicemails you want to save
Whether it’s your last encounter or a recent e-book download, have a relevant reason for calling in order to get the prospect’s attention.
And also don’t forget to write down your message just in case you get too anxious and forget to say your name at the end of the message.
If you get stage fright at the thought of making a sales call and leaving a voicemail, preparation can go a long way. Knowing what you’re going to say before you dial – and even running through the script a couple of times – can make you feel more in control. If you want to know exactly how you’ll sound and where improvements have to be made, leave yourself the voicemail and listen to it back. You can also use a breathing exercise to help yourself relax and keep your voice steady.
If you have voicemails saved on a non-smart phone, your best bet is to record them on a computer. This is a method that requires some equipment, but not as much as you might think.
Upon activation of your amaysim service, a Voicemail PIN will be automatically sent to you via text. Once you’ve received this message, simply call 321 from your mobile to complete your Voicemail setup.
10. Keep It Upbeat. We’ve already got you smiling while you record your greeting, so now let’s talk about your wording. Avoiding negative words like sorry, unfortunately, and can’t goes a long away in making your voicemail a positive experience overall.
1. "Hi, you've reached [your name] at [your company]. I'm unavailable right now — probably helping [type of company] get [X results, e.g. ‘ double their leads in 60 days,' ‘hire the best and brightest engineers,' ‘convert 40% more customers.']
Make it as easy as possible for your prospects by including your phone number near the beginning of the message, then repeating your contact information near the end for good measure.
“(Intro) I’m calling regarding the voicemail I left you (earlier today/yesterday) about (example: how we recently helped competitor 1, 2, and 3 avoid ______ while ______) and wanted to see if it would make sense for us to have a conversation to determine if what we do would be of some help to you as well. If you’d like to discuss this further you can reach me at __________. I’ll send a follow up email to this message so if it’s easier to reply that way you can or if you’d rather talk via the phone, again, my number is _________.”
Your own answering greeting should be short. Don't bother to say that you aren't available to take the call. That's a waste of time, and there's no point in restating the obvious. Instead, simply identify yourself and ask the caller to leave a message.
When on vacation, provide your callers with a return date and a back-up contact person to accommodate emergencies. This prevents you from potentially damaging a valued relationship while you enjoy some time off.
How long should a voicemail be? A good voice mail should be like a Super Bowl commercial, right around 30 seconds.
