Short Voicemail Greetings

Voicemail is one area in business where most of us can do a whole lot better. It’s far too easy to come across as just another also ran.

However, even Short Voicemail Greetings provide an opportunity for you to stand out as fully professional and committed to your clients, suppliers and customers.

TAKE THE HIGH ROAD

It’s too easy to take the low road and just fill in the blanks. By that I mean adapting the template on the phone system by just inserting your name. Don’t just settle for the “Hello you’ve called (insert name). Leave your number and I’ll get back to you”.

The other temptation is to just use the one Voicemail as the all-purpose panacea. That means you are really missing a chance to demonstrate to callers that you are on top of every situation.

FOR EVERY GOOD REASON

You can have Short Voicemail Greetings to suit the different situations that happen. You might be attending to another call but will be available shortly. Let the caller know what’s occurring and reassure them you will return their call ASAP.

When you are out for the day. Away on vacation. It might be holiday season so you can include a best wishes for Xmas, Easter, the Lunar New Year or whatever.

If you’re away at an important industry conference, there is always good mileage in letting people know you are keeping abreast of changes.

Aside from not taking advantage of the situation to communicate, if you persist in using the template approach you reinforce the “I don’t give a s—t” attitude that ruins business relations.

The problem is made more acute because the message abruptly changes from that of a professional announcer to the sound of your “dropped-in” recording.
