Voicemail is helpful to have because it act as a personal secretary, recording your customers name, phone number and the reason why they called. With this information, you can follow up with an interested person and meet their needs appropriately.

Here's an example of a General Voicemail Script:

Thank you for calling XYZ Company. We are unable to take your call at this time. Please leave a detailed message including your name, phone number, and the reason you called and we'll get back to you as soon as we can. Looking forward to serving you!

Here's an example of a Personal Voicemail Script:

Thank you for calling the office of Jane Doe, Principal of Groversfield Elementary. I am on the other line or am presently out of the office. Please leave your contact details, and I'll return your call as soon as I get back. Thank you, and have a nice day.

To recap, a professional telephone system consists of:

• Auto Attendant
• Interactive Voice Response (IVR)
