Avoid background noise. Whether you have music playing in your office, or you’re sitting in a coffee shop, background noise can make it difficult for your customers to understand your greeting. Limit the noise around you when you leave your voicemail greeting.
If anything big changes- address, phone, etc.- make sure you correct your voicemail early on. Keep It Short; We know, we know. We just gave you all this information and we’re now telling you to ‘keep it short‘. But, a professional voicemail greeting (or any for that matter) shouldn’t go beyond 20-25 seconds.

10. Hi, you’ve reached (name)’s answering machine. He/she is not in right now, but I’m totally open for suggestions.
Changes can be made to voicemail settings on the phone through the voicemail options audio menu only after the initial voicemail password has been set up in 8x8 Admin Console, Work for Desktop, and Work for Web. Please note: there is no "default" voicemail password. If you have forgotten your password, you can reconfigure it in Work for Desktop.

In this quick guide, we’ll take a look at what makes a good business voicemail greeting, breaking it down into the elements that every voicemail greeting should contain.
There is no definitive answer here, but you should include one of the two at the beginning of your message based on what makes the most sense.
1. Welcome & Main Menu. Hello, and thank you for calling [Company Name], [insert company’s mission statement or slogan]. We are located at [address].
Thank you for calling the office of (office or department name) at Eastern Oregon University. We are currently working remotely in response to the coronavirus outbreak, and may not be able to check missed calls regularly. Please contact us at (department email) or leave a voice message. In case of an emergency please contact Campus Security at 541-962-3911. Thank you.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, [insert office name] continues to operate remotely during our regular business hours (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday).
18. "Hi, you've reached [your name]. I'm away from [date] to [date]. If you need help with [X] before then, please contact [name] at [phone number]. Everyone else, please leave your name and number and I'll return your call when I return. Thanks and have a great day."
3. Available Agents Greeting. What callers hear when they are routed to an available agent. Sample Scripts: “Please hold while you are connected to the next available agent.”
State your name clearly so the caller knows they have the right number. 3 of the messages I heard last month were missing his/her name.

10. Learn More Promotional Campaign Script. You’ve reached [Company Name]. If you’re calling about our current promotion regarding free oil changes for life, please press one.
If the call is after hours, then it must REALLY be an emergency (C-level or high level manager) so one of us will answer. Anything else goes to the help desk. If you designate a phone number for anything other than an emergency, then 9 times out of 10 people will call you for piddly little stuff that they could just send to help desk.
What kind of company do you run? A law firm may prefer more formal business voicemail greetings than a trendy retail store, for example.
