Professional voice mail message

Here's a sample professional voice mail message:

"Hello, you've reached [Your Name] at [Your Company]. I'm not available to take your call right now, but I'd be happy to get back to you as soon as possible.

If you could please leave your name, number, and a brief message, I'll get back to you within [timeframe, e.g. 24 hours, 1 business day, etc.]. I appreciate your patience and look forward to speaking with you soon.

If you have any urgent matters, please contact [Name of colleague or supervisor] at [Their phone number]. Otherwise, I'll be in touch with you shortly.

Thank you for calling, and I look forward to speaking with you soon."

Some tips to keep in mind:

• Keep your message concise and to the point. Aim for 30 seconds to 1 minute in length.
• Speak clearly and at a moderate pace. Avoid mumbling or speaking too quickly.
• Use a professional tone and language. Avoid using slang or overly casual language.
• Include your name, company, and contact information so the caller knows who they're leaving a message for.
• Consider including an alternative contact option for urgent matters, such as a colleague or supervisor.
• End your message with a positive note, such as expressing your enthusiasm for speaking with the caller soon.
