What should a tree service voicemail greeting say?

Most callers do not leave voicemails, so the greeting has one job: send them to a faster path.

A simple script: Hi, you have reached the company name. We are out on a job right now. Please text this number with your name, address and what you need, or leave a message and we will call back by a time you can really meet.

Add a safety line. If a tree is on a power line, call the utility. If someone is in danger, call 911. This protects people and shows you are responsible.

Do not promise things you cannot do, such as always calling back in ten minutes. Pick a time you can keep.

Speak slowly, give your company name clearly and avoid long menus. Record it in a quiet place.

Pair the greeting with an automatic text to missed callers. Then the caller gets a reply even if they hang up before the beep.

Update the message for storm season or holidays, and test it by calling yourself from another phone.

If you want a ready script, our text-back tool and call script builder give you wording to start from. Edit them to sound like you.
