What are custom phone greetings?
A custom business phone greeting is a recording that plays automatically when a customer calls.
They can be set to play right at the start as a professional welcome, as a voicemail greeting, or even as an away message when you can’t answer.
Business phone greetings can give your small business a larger and more professional appearance. They can also help you save on labor costs by replacing a live secretary for answering calls.
What are the benefits of business phone greetings?
- Welcome customers with a professionally recorded greeting that can direct their call.
- Take advantage of automated greetings rather than pay to have an employee standing by.
- Record a business voicemail greeting so customers never hear your personal voicemail greeting.
- Let customers know when you’re not available with custom greetings for away and vacation messages.
