Business voicemail etiquette is about making missed calls feel handled, not ignored. Use a greeting that confirms the business, gives a clear next step, and sets a callback window you can keep. Ask for the details your team needs (name, number, reason, timing, address), and include an urgent-path instruction. Keep it short, professional, and updated for holidays and after-hours. Avoid asking for sensitive info, and make it easy to book without back-and-forth. Finally, follow through: return messages within the timeframe you stated and document requests so nothing slips. If calls are frequent, an AI voice receptionist can answer 24/7, book appointments, and text your team.
