Bespoke voicemail message
If these short voicemail greetings aren't exactly suitable for your business, and you'd like a more tailored set of messages, then please do get in touch.
Prices for bespoke telephone prompts are only slightly higher than those above, the difference is, you can have me say what YOU want and include your business name, opening hours, promotions or anything else relevant to your business.
Why go bespoke?
There are some really great benefits of tailoring a message for your business.
-
It gives your company identity
-
Your phone line will stand out
-
It shows you're taking care of every part of your business
-
Give extra information like contact details or opening times
-
Say exactly what you need to say and HOW you want to say it
Using the phone message files
If you have a managed telephone system you should be able to contact your provider and ask them to load them in for you. Or you may know how to do that yourself.
If you have a VOIP telephone then many of these have an option to load in files, which would be described in the manual.
To use these files on mobile phones, you can try contacting your provider for instructions...
...failing that, I've had quite a few clients use this crazy method: dial your voicemail as if you are going to record one yourself, play the purchased file on speakers while holding your phone up to them! In fact this is the method I used to get mine onto my phone! Or ask me, I'm happy to do it for you from inside my vocal booth. No charge.
Why you should have a professional voicemail greeting
There are many reasons why having a voice talent on the end of your phone is a good idea.
First off, and maybe most obviously, it sounds good! Nobody in your office likes recording them, so why force them to do it? Their reluctance and anxiety about doing the job will come across in the recording. What sort of first impression of a business is that to give to callers? A bad one, that's what.
A voiceover artist knows how to use the right tones, inflections, pace and prosody to make sure you're communicating with your caller in a way they would expect - as if they were meeting a representative form your business face to face.
You spend money on making your business look good, so why not spend money making it sound good too? Which leads me to my next point...
It shows you care about every aspect of your business. It's a detail that often gets brushed under the carpet and forgotten about forever. A "that'll do" attitude about business answer phone messages just doesn't cut it I'm afraid.
Here's a scenario for you. Dave is ringing round a bunch of local <insert any type of business> to find the best for his needs. He's greeted with 6 terrible voicemail messages that sound like they've been recorded under a table whilst the boss looks on angrily and one that is a professional voiceover artist. Which has the better chance of reeling Dave in?
There's a lot more advantages but I'll leave you with this one. It can give your brand an identity and make it feel human. Especially if you've decided to keep the robot voice that came pre-installed. There's no better way to connect with a caller than to use a voice over artist.
But don't take my word for it...
What better way to believe what I say about all this stuff than to read a case study from a client of mine. They took a whole series of bespoke on hold messages from me a few months ago. The idea being that they can promote a different service to callers throughout the year, changing the messaging on their phone system every single month.
