Don’t include the date unless it’s completely necessary. 16 of the messages I heard last month had the wrong date—one of the messages had a date over 2 months old!

37. Hi, this is [company name]. Sorry we missed your call. Leave a message and we’ll get back to you shortly.
-Hello, caller. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to leave your name, number, and a short message after the tone. This message will self destruct. BOOM! (not followed by a beep)
The extension user will receive a warning tone, which indicates that a caller has been answered by their voice mailbox. The user has the option to monitor the call, or ignore the alert, and allow the caller to leave a message. Once the user has selected to monitor the caller, they have the option to leave the caller undisturbed (leaving a message) or to retrieve the caller from the voice mailbox and be connected to the caller for a live conversation.

Here’s another funny one for those times you really want to lighten the business mood:
10. "Hello, you've reached [X company]. We can't take your call right now, but please leave your name, contact information, and reason for reaching out, and one of our team members will be in touch within 24 hours.
A potential new customer gives your business a call. Nobody picks up the phone and the line just rings out. The customer doesn’t know why nobody answered and they don’t even know if they’ve called the right place. Perhaps they decide not to call back at all.
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.
