Sample Professional Voicemail Greeting

Posted on February 1, 2012 by Jamleck

I had to setup voicemail greetings on my mobile phone. I use my mobile phone to receive calls from work and from friends and family.

Voice Mail Greeting 1:

Hi. This is _John Doe_. I am currently unable to take your call. Please leave your name, phone number, and a brief message, and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you.

Voice Mail Greeting 2:

Hi, you’ve reached _John Doe_. from __business name__. Sorry, I’m unable to take your call right now. Please leave your name and number and I’ll be in touch as soon as possible.

Voice Mail Greeting 3:

Hi, you have reached_ John Doe_. At the tone please leave your name, phone number and the purpose of your call. I will return your call as soon as possible. Thank you.

Tip from here: Keep your voice mail greeting simple and professional and it will be suitable for anyone including family and friends. Make sure when you record the message you smile while you are talking to change the emotion in your voice making you sound friendly and happy.
