Professional Voicemail Greeting

A proper professional voicemail greeting on your telephone answering system can either make a positive impression on your customers, or alienate them before you have the chance to actually speak to them. Imagine being a customer and not being able to speak directly to the person they are calling. What information would be useful for them at that moment?

Depending on the capabilities of the telephone system installed, there are several possible options for a voicemail greeting that include:

General voicemail greeting: The general voicemail greeting is used when there is no other option available.

Internal voicemail greeting: This is used for callers from within the system from another extension.

External voicemail greeting: This is used for external callers. The telephone system automatic attendant will play a general message which will include the companies name.

: This is used for when the caller is calling out of normal office working hours.
