Live answer greeting
Hi, thanks for calling your business! This is [Name] — how can I help you today?
After-hours voicemail
Hey, you've reached your business — we're closed right now, but we'd love to help. Leave your name, number, and what you need, and we'll call you back first thing. If it's an emergency, press 1 and we'll get right back to you.
Holiday greeting
Happy holidays from everyone at your business! We're closed today to celebrate with our families. Leave us a message with your name and number, and we'll get back to you as soon as we're back. Thanks for understanding — we can't wait to help you.

Tips for recording
- Smile when you record — it changes how you sound even on a phone line.
- Speak slightly slower than normal conversation; phone audio compresses pacing.
- Test the greeting by calling your own number from a cell phone.
- For nights and weekends, pair a clear voicemail with after-hours answering or a live AI agent so urgent callers are not left hanging.
Phone greeting FAQs
What makes a good business phone greeting?
Keep it short, say the business name clearly, and tell the caller what to do next. Live greetings should invite the reason for the call. After-hours scripts should set expectations for a callback and offer an emergency path when your industry needs one.
Should I record different greetings for after hours?
Yes. Callers at 9pm do not expect a live answer from every business — but they do expect clear hours, a way to leave details, and an emergency option for trades like HVAC, plumbing, and electrical.
Can AI answer instead of a recorded greeting?
Yes. CoServe’s AI agent answers live 24/7 in a natural voice, trained on your business — so callers never hit a recording. Use these scripts if you still want a fallback, or skip them entirely after you go live.
Do you store my business name?
No. Scripts are generated in your browser. Nothing is sent to our servers.
Scripts are a start. Live answers win jobs.
