Voicemails can add value, whether or not a prospect calls you back right away. Even if a voicemail triggers an email response or call back six months down the line, it's valuable. The better your voicemails, the more likely you'll get a response.

If you’re thinking about buying voice mail, don’t just look at the benefit of your convenience. Before you make a commitment to a specific system consider the impact on your customers. Will they be better served? Will you maintain friendly, human service in spite of the voice mail system?
Remember, you are not trying to cram your entire conversation into the voicemail, but rather, get the person to call you back to have that conversation. Your voicemail should answer the following questions: Who are you? / Where are you from? Why are you calling? How can they get in touch with you?
Ah, the humble phone message. Thanks to texting, voice mail is becoming less common. But until it disappears altogether, it’s to your advantage to know how to leave clear messages. In fact, a phone message is sort of like a thank you note: You can earn big respect by leaving a good one… and lose points if your message is annoying or rude.
After that, relaunch the app. This may fix the issue of voicemail not working on your device.
I believe honesty and creativity is the key. Understand that in order to increase your callbacks, you need to pique the prospect’s interest without raising doubts or fear.
18. "Hi, you've reached [your name]. I'm away from [date] to [date]. If you need help with [X] before then, please contact [name] at [phone number]. Everyone else, please leave your name and number and I'll return your call when I return. Thanks and have a great day."
If someone is listening to your voicemail greeting it's only because they intend to leave you a message. Don't make them listen to 3 minutes of rambling in order to do so. Plus, you're more likely to deliver a clean, professional read if you stick to shorter greetings. If more specific information is needed, direct callers to where they can find it on your website.
*Use the word “with” instead of “to.” It sounds more positive. You want to talk “with” the person, not give them a “talking to.” It’s a subtle difference, yet it keeps the message positive.
Follow that with an email that says the same thing, log the call / update your notes in your CRM and MOVE ON!
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.
Now listen carefully to the voicemail menu, looking out for the delete or re-record option. Each carrier will have a different process, so make sure you pay attention. If you can’t seem to locate the options, you can try the following for common carriers: For Verizon, use *P For T-Mobile, use #, followed by 3P For Sprint, use * or #, then punch in 3P For AT&T, use *P Step 3: Delete or Re-record
If I get a message like that – I would be wondering: Who is me? I still like it when people leave their name, I don’t have to be guessing who is calling.

This scenario piques your prospect's interest by teasing information. But it's only effective when your prospect actually cares about the info. If you say, "Next time we talk, I'd love to tell you more about our latest award for customer satisfaction," they probably (read: definitely) won't care.
