Some of the best business phone systems allow you to create multiple voicemail greetings so that you don’t have to constantly re-record your greeting. This is a great feature as it gives you the option to have different voicemail greetings depending on whether a call comes in during or outside of business hours.
Luckily, personalizing your after-hours voicemail greetings doesn’t have to be difficult, especially if you take advantage of proper call center software. With CloudTalk’s Voicemail feature , you can set up personalized messages and make sure your callers feel attended to, even if you’re not exactly available to take the call.
If there are other ways to get in touch with your business, or receive information about your products, you may want to include them in the after hours greeting. Websites and emails are often the most popular forms of alternative contact.
