It’s inevitable; a caller will go to voicemail eventually. When it happens, be sure to remind the caller what extension they are leaving the message at, and any pertinent information you’d like them to provide.

Standard delivery for professional greetings is 3-4 business days or 1-2 day for RUSH delivery.
The most professional voicemail message should include a formal tone and specific instructions. For example, you may say “Hello, you’ve reached [your name], [job title] at [business name]. I’m sorry to have missed your call. Please leave your name, contact information, and reason for calling so I can get back to you promptly.”
