Thank you for calling ______. We are currently closed. Our regular business hours are Monday through Friday from 9am – 5pm, Pacific Standard Time. Please leave a message, and we will return your call the next business day.
Keep it Brief. Time is money in business, so if your voicemail is long, chances are the caller will simply disengage before the cue to leave a message even sounds. Keep your voicemail short. The most should be around 30 seconds, and even that’s pressing it. We’ve grown into a country where our attention span can last only about 10 seconds in some cases, so keep it short, brief and to the point. Persuade and Engage the Caller. If someone calls your business, they already have an intention. It’s the quality of your voicemail that plays a factor if they consider you a company they’d like to deal with. This is your chance to motivate someone to engage in a meaningful conversation with you. If your voicemail is shoddy, chances are they’ll hang up, or lose motivation to continue the call. In other words, your voice mail must engage and entice someone to the point that they care enough to leave you a message.

Once the Event is created, it will automatically override the usual schedule during the specified timeframe. Events will always be prioritized over the usual Menus. For receptionist groups, there is a specific setting called Routing Option. You can choose whether to set the Events before or after the Receptionist group. It can be found under the settings of a specific event. If the Event is set before the Receptionist group, inbound calls are routed directly to the menu and are further routed depending on the Timeout settings of the Event; If the Event is set after the receptionist group, inbound calls first go to the receptionist groups according to the usual schedule, and then go to the Event.
