Frequently asked questions
I'm a one-person business — should I sound like a "team"?
Only if your customers prefer it. Many solo professionals do better with a personal, named greeting ("Hi, this is Sarah") because it builds trust. Use whatever fits your brand.
How often should I update the greeting?
For a small business, once a quarter is reasonable — plus immediate updates around vacation, holidays and major hour changes.
Should the greeting mention pricing?
No — too long, too transactional. Mention pricing on your website. Keep the voicemail focused on getting the caller to take a useful next step.
