Recording Your Personal Greeting(s)

Your personal greeting

*

informs callers why they have reached your voice mailbox,

so you may include some or all of the following information:

Whether or not you are in the office and where you can be reached.

When you will be returning calls.

How to exit voice mail (for callers who do not want to leave a message). For
example, “Tap

to return to the operator.”

The following are sample greetings to help you plan your message:
• Hello, this is __________. I am either on another line or away from my desk and

cannot take your call at this time. If you need to speak to someone immediately,
please dial zero now. Otherwise, leave a detailed message, and I will return your
call as soon as possible. Thank you.

• Hello, this is __________. I will be away from the office from day/date until day/

date. If you need to speak to someone immediately, please dial zero now. Other-
wise, leave a detailed message, and I will return your call when I return. Thank
you.
