Voicemail greetings for calls received after business hours. You don’t want to answer calls 24/7 (unless you’re serving clients globally and there’s an expectation of 24/7 support). If you’re unavailable during specific hours of the day, use the voicemail examples below for after-hours business calls.

Recently one of my students asked a great question about voicemail in English and I thought that you might have the same question as well.
With that said, we thought it would be a good idea to provide you with a few examples of voicemail greetings. As you read through these, keep in mind that the effectiveness of your voicemail greeting is one-quarter what you say, and three-quarters how you say it.
Remember, your prospects (and you too, if you're honest) care mainly about themselves. In other words, your sales voicemails will be much more successful if the benefit to the prospect is clearly stated.
4. Enter your voicemail password. If you have set a password lock for your voicemail account, you will be prompted to key it in. Use the dial pad to do so.
Start typing your script and get a real-time quote of your costs. Add more extensions, choose custom music, and more.
Being that I have been at Holdcom for a few months now, I decided it was time to change my cell phone voicemail greeting to something a bit more polished. Keep in mind, I have had the same voicemail message for probably 6 years, just transferring the same greeting every time I would get a new phone. Since I never hear my own voicemail, I never thought about changing it. Little did I know, my voicemail message could easily be working against me, and it took me this long to notice?!

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the [insert office name] is currently operating remotely. We are retrieving voice messages on an hourly basis between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m, Monday through Friday. We invite you to leave your name and number so that we can respond to your call and will do so as soon as we are able.
Avoid background noise. Whether you have music playing in your office, or you’re sitting in a coffee shop, background noise can make it difficult for your customers to understand your greeting. Limit the noise around you when you leave your voicemail greeting.
Pro Tip: Smile while you’re recording your greeting and your voice will sound pleasant.

What kind of company do you run? A law firm may prefer more formal business voicemail greetings than a trendy retail store, for example.
