Copy everything
Speaking time is the word count divided by 2.5 words a second, an assumption for a clear, unhurried pace: read each one aloud and time it. Text in [brackets] is for you to fill in. Say your number slowly, twice. Nothing here promises a callback.
What a good voicemail does
- Says who you are first: your name and company before anything else.
- Gives one reason: a single sentence about what you do for a business like theirs.
- Makes it easy to answer: the number said slowly, twice, and a second route such as email.
- Stays short: long messages get skipped; read yours aloud and cut anything that is not needed.
Before you dial
A voicemail lands better when you called the right person. Pull a list of businesses in a trade and city, check the numbers with the phone number validator, and plan your dials with the cold call calculator.

Questions
Short enough to say in about 30 seconds. The page shows each script's word count and an estimated speaking time; read it aloud to check.
Your name and company, one sentence on what you do for businesses like theirs, and your number said slowly twice. Fill the form to get three versions.
That is your call. A short one with a second route, such as a follow-up email, gives the person a way to answer when they are free.
It gives the voicemail a second place to land. Send it right after the call, and keep it to a sentence or two.
No. The scripts are written when the page is served and not saved.
