Your voicemail greeting is the first thing a caller hears when making contact with you. It should represent the quality of service they expect of your brand.

A professional voicemail greeting should be clear, easy to understand, a nice pace and friendly. Here at The Voice Realm we offer clients the ability to have a professional voice over talent audition their script for free.

In general a voice greeting on your cell or landline should be limited to 30 seconds. The shorter the better.

It should state your name or company name, reason why the call can't be taken, and estimate time that it will take for a human to return the call.

Here's some examples of a good professional voicemail script:

Thank you for calling (company name) we appreciate your business, but right now we are serving another customer. We will attend to your call as soon as possible. Please stay on the line as we value your business.

Hello, you have reached (company name) At present our offices are closed. Our hours are (days and times). Please leave a message with your name and reason for your call and we will make contact with you when we re-open.

Using a professional male or female voice talent from The Voice Realm can potentially help increase sales and lead to more loyal customers by showing that their business is important to you.
