You can identify yourself with only your first name on a personal cell phone or home voice mail. If it is a business voicemail, I suggest including your first and last name. I would also include your title.
Sure, web enquiries, social media and email have their place, but the telephone still remains the primary point of contact for many customers. Professional telephone etiquette can impact a positive first impression, which more often than not, influences the caller’s behaviour and actions towards your business.
.
Make it as easy as possible for your prospects by including your phone number near the beginning of the message, then repeating your contact information near the end for good measure.
