A voicemail and voicemail greeting are two different things. A voicemail serves to leave a message and contact information to an individual or business. A voicemail greeting serves to welcome those who call while you are out, encouraging them to leave a message and contact information.

I’m going to ask you to consider something you probably have never given much thought to: your own voicemail greeting. You may call this your outbound greeting or outgoing message. No matter what you call it, this is what callers hear when you don’t answer your phone. Or should I say, it’s what callers are forced to listen to even though they don’t want to.
