    Needing to set up voice mail on my new phone.
    Am lookng for some ideas to make this as professional for my company and proper marketing.

    Thinking on these lines:
    " Hello, you have reached Fred Smith with ABC Transportation, I am sorry that I missed your call. Please leave your name, number and a brief message and I will return your call as soon as possable.
    Thank you very much"

    I know there are better ideas out there, let me hear your thoughs and ideas.
    Thanks

    Looks reasonable to me. Sure beats the hell out of any of the "cutsie" answers that some idiots put on their phones. . .

    "Voice mail box is full. Goodbye."

    Pretty much what mine will tell you.

    And if you aren't in my contact list, my phone blocks the call.:biggrin_25525:

    Hello, this is Death. I am not in right now, but if you leave your name and number, I'll be right with you.

    ???
    click :)



    I would tweek it a little bit and get rid of the apology and super duper thank you. You even ended your post in Thanks. You don't want to give an impression of a pushover in a business dealing by being super kind..


    Hello, this is Fred Smith with ABC Transportation. I'm currently unable to take your call. Please leave your name, phone number, and a brief message and I will contact you as soon as possible. Thanks... or Thank you.
