3. 'It's a great day at ABC. This is XYZ, how can I... ' This is even less formal than saying good morning, being intentionally upbeat. It's a fun, surprising, and positive greeting, and it's hard for customers not to smile.
Humor also leaves a lot of room for misinterpretation—which subsequently weakens sincerity and authority. A caller can be very turned off by merely misinterpreting your joke. Why take this risk? Additionally, this could even cause callers to question your character. Say, for example, the president of a company’s mobile phone voicemail greeting was funny. What’s to happen if the caller didn’t like or get the joke? What if they found it offensive? Another scenario is that a caller is reaching out to you for the first time—i.e. they have no idea regarding your personality. What next? The point is, with this type of greeting, humor is bound to be more divisive so just avoid it altogether. c. Poorly Pacing Your Message and Bad Time Management: Don’t speed through your message. Speak clearly so callers know what to include in their message and when to leave the message. At the same time, don’t drag your message out. No one wants to sit through a diatribe. Just get to the point clearly.

Give your callers something to talk about with their friends and colleagues. Give your callers something that would make them want to tell their friends to call and listen to your greeting. Give your callers something to smile about. Give them something to think about. Give them something creative. Something smart. Something…you. “Hi, it’s Bob Johnson. I’m either away from my desk or on another line. Please leave a message and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.” “Hi, it’s Mary. Today is Monday, and I’ll be in meetings until 11am and then on sales call until early afternoon. Please leave me a message and I’ll return your call then.” “Hi, it’s Jane. I can’t get to my phone right now. But if you leave me a message I’ll call you back as soon as I can.” “You’ve reached John’s voicemail. I’m away at the moment, so please leave me a message. If you need immediate assistance, press zero for the operator.”
1. State Your Business Name. The first thing your callers should hear is the name of your business or organization. This assures them that they have dialed the right phone number and keeps them on the line.
This is a tactic we picked up from Jeff Hoffman and it works because it makes you more memorable and makes your messages seem genuine and less rehearsed. Give it a try and see if it will work for you too!
