“Hi __________, this is ___________ with (your company). I’m calling about your new office that’s opening in Houston next month, and I wanted to provide you with some ideas that may help with your networking issues. We work with a lot of companies in the area, and I think you’ll find it useful if we talk.

1. Press the fixed key with the envelope graphic, or dial the phone’s phone number.
When following up with leads, it’s important to have well-practiced voicemail scripts in place. You will leave a lot of them so do your best to come across as helpful, friendly, and professional
I like to use a “three strikes and you’re out” rule. Meaning, after the 3rd attempt, if I haven’t heard back from them, I take them out of my current call list (I move them back into my drip marketing campaign and let that do its job)
Generally, these greetings should be brief for an individual. State your name and a query for the caller's information. You can also include a backup number for people to reach you if you like. For an organization, it's a good idea to announce your standard office hours. Dial *98 on your OnSIP-registered phone. Enter your voicemail box number. Enter the PIN/password for your voicemail box. Press 0 for voicemail box options. Press 1 for unavailable greeting.
At the beginning of the show, I used an example of a voicemail greeting – I used the name Luke Skywalker. He is a character from the Star Wars movie for those of you who hadn’t heard of Luke Skywalker before.
I always end voicemails with my phone number. The reasoning? First, it's his cue to wrap up. It keeps him from rambling and gives the prospect a clear call to action: Call him back.

Too many reps are the inside sales equivalent of chatty grandmas—pitching solutions, discussing features, and offering value propositions over a voicemail.
Try to rehearse your voicemail as if you’re rehearsing for a play! Take a paper and write down all you want to convey in your voicemail. Word it properly, and give enough time to make it coherent and comprehensible. You can also read out what you want to express, as the process helps you in collecting your thoughts and putting them down in words.
You can also try leaving two voicemails. In other words, rather than leaving one 30-second message, record a 20-second voicemail -- then immediately call back and leave a 10-second one.
The SDRs have their own sales cycle, as well as tools available to them to help them accomplish their goal. One important tool is leveraging the power of voicemail. Here are some questions to consider:
“Hi _________, this is _______ ________ again with (your company). For some reason we haven’t been able to connect since I sent you (your demo, proposal, etc.), and believe me, I’ve been sales long enough to know what that probably means. I’m assuming you’ve either found another solution or this has been put on the back burner for now. Either way, that’s fine.
It makes you look professional. Especially, if you are applying for jobs, calling agents for accommodation, enrolling in to courses, have your own business and so on, it’s important to have your Voicemail greeting set up& configured. You only need to do this once!

Try to avoid casual salutations like, “Hi” or “Hey” if this is your first time calling someone. Your introduction should be one or two sentences tops. From there you can move on to the body.
