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.
After a prospect finishes listening to your email, they should be very clear on what the next step of the sales process is.

A sales voicemail can only get so far if its content is too passive and your delivery is unsure or mousy. Remember, people want to buy from someone who knows what they're doing.

If you don’t have time to practice, writing down the greeting before recording it – and then reading it aloud from the paper – may help you stay focused on the correct wording.

Second, when a marketing voicemail is handled correctly, it can actually add value to the recipient’s life. You just have to know what you’re doing.
If you’re making several calls, make sure you document your messages so you can be on top of it immediately if/when your call is returned. Nothing worse (or more stupid) than getting a returned call and having no idea who it’s from.

How do I set up my phone’s voicemail greeting and update the name associated with my extension when I leave a voicemail for others?
