You might also consider giving them the option to skip your voicemail message completely by pressing another key (again, check with IT). You also want to make callers aware what you will return their call, instead of telling them that you will try to return their call--and let them know when you are likely to do it, if possible. If necessary, provide additional or emergency information in your voicemail greetings. My dentist, for example, lists his cell phone number for emergencies.

19. "Hello, you've reached [your name]. I'm currently [exploring Asia, hiking through the jungle in Costa Rica, hanging out on the beach in Bermuda] — or more likely, [recovering from extreme jet lag, googling ‘Are red spiders poisonous,' or looking for SPF 150 sunscreen] and won't be back in the office until [date]. Leave your contact info and reason for calling and I'll get in touch then."
If you find that your business voice message is running a bit long, break it down into sections and decide which parts you can cut out to reduce the message’s length.

A relatively unprofessional one — like mine, for instance — does the opposite: It encourages prospects, recruiters, and potential connections to run in the other direction.
* Every second a new spam number or robo call number starts up. Our call blocker updates multiple times per day to block a new robo call number the second it appears.
5. If your claims adjuster is truly MIA, escalate it. If multiple days pass without a response or your request is urgent, you should ask to speak with a supervisor who can address your concern.
