Business voicemail greetings are not the biggest part of your business, but there are so many instances where customers get impressed with small things! And as I said, having a CRM can really help you with your voicemail and calling in general.
As a bonus, here is an example of our own holiday voicemail greeting here at OpenPhone:
I love my job because [XYZ company] is the best place to work at. Please leave your full name, contact info, number and other details and I’ll call back within 24 hours! Thanks a bunch.”

The most professional voicemail message should include a formal tone and specific instructions. For example, you may say “Hello, you’ve reached [your name], [job title] at [business name]. I’m sorry to have missed your call. Please leave your name, contact information, and reason for calling so I can get back to you promptly.”
Example: 'Thank you for calling [insert name here]. We're sorry we couldn't take your call this time. However, if you'd like to leave us a voicemail we will get back to you within [for example] 30 minutes of receiving this message. Alternatively, if you'd like to reach out by email you can do so at [insert email address]. Again, thank you for calling [insert company name]. We look forward to your message.'
Here are several tips to consider when setting up a professional voicemail greeting:
The following options allow your UB voicemail to have a custom greeting for callers who reach your voicemail, or a temporary greeting you can set when away.

If your system is programmed in a unique way and the following instructions don’t work, feel free to call the Infiniti support team for a remote service job (at standard rates) and we will do our best to help you out before the Christmas break. Please note that availability is limited during this busy period, so we advise that you test and call as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
And by all means, if you’re at an industry-related event, announce it on your message. Some callers could leave a message in hopes of connecting with you there.
Often, business owners are not very sure about what their greeting voicemail should say. Here are some samples of business voicemail greetings:
Hi. You have reached [Business Name]. Our offices are currently closed for the holiday season. We shall return on January 2, 2020, working office hours from 9 am to 5 pm, Monday thru Friday, closed Saturday and Sunday. Until then, please leave a short message and number, or email address, and we’ll get back to you shortly. Thank you for calling.
