As you're leaving your voicemail, mention that you've sent them a quick email as well that has further details on who you are and the purpose of your call. As Florin Tatulea of Loopio explains:

A professional and personable voicemail greeting is beneficial for several reasons. Read ahead to find out what these are.
Call Blasting is what we call Simultaneous Call Forwarding. It allows multiple phone lines to ring at the same time, such as your home phone, cell phone, or other office lines. This reduces caller wait times and keeps you in continuous communication with your customers.

Ideally, a business should have a complete set of messages for every phase of their call flow from beginning to end. While voicemail greetings are an important part of the phone system, there need to be recordings for everything leading up to the voicemail as well (assuming there are other steps in the call flow).
If you can’t find a quiet location to record your recording or want to ensure your greeting is as clear as possible, another option to consider is hiring a professional to record your messages. Some business phone systems, like Grasshopper and Nextiva , offer free or add-on options to hire a professional voice talent to record your message.
