Providing a receptionist, secretary or assistant with a telephone message pad or while-you-were-out pad can help ensure a greater degree of organization and communication at work. Look for a phone message book that includes several message sections per page and creates a carbonless copy, so the original copy can be given to the message recipient and the other stored in the book. Consider options that include a repositionable adhesive backing, so the message-taker can place the message in plain view, like on a computer monitor, for the recipient. Also look for message pads in bright colors with single message spaces per page and extra note-taking space.

The greeting that you leave on your phone in the form of a voice mail can be very important as it is the first contact that anyone calling has with you or the company that you work for. Therefore it is important that your voicemail greeting is drafted in such a manner that it does not make the caller squirm in embarrassment, or even raise their eyebrows in sheer wonder. Proper voicemail etiquette demands that a good voicemail message convey information like whom the caller is calling, where they are, when the caller can expect to be called back, and what to do if the call that is being made is of an urgent nature.
There are two steps you have to do before you can use voicemail on your phone. The first is that you have to add a voicemail number. This number varies by country and also your service provider. If you’e use AT&T, you can follow AT&T Galaxy S21 voicemail setting. Open the “Phone” app. Tap the 3 dots on the top right. Tap “Settings“. Tap “Voicemail“. Tap “Voicemail Settings“. Take note of the green number below “Voicemail number“. Go back to the dialer and enter the number from Step 6 (including the *). Press the green phone button. The voicemail number has been set. Return to the Start screen.

Voicemail greetings (like voice messages) are best when they are brief and to the point. Practice your new greeting so that your enunciation and information are clear, saving your caller from making a second call to clarify your message.
A professional voicemail greeting should be no longer than 60 seconds. List the important information we've discussed above, provide alternative methods of communication and close with a thank you.
