Grasshopper Greetings answer your Grasshopper VoIP phone calls every time a customer or prospect calls you. How does your Grasshopper greeting sound? Professional? Or are you still using the “default” greeting, like everyone else? Or did you put more effort into it?
Did you record your own recording? That’s a step in the right direction. But where did you record it? In your kitchen? Did you record it from your mobile phone in a noisy room? Maybe it’s time to call yourself (or listen to it on the Grasshopper App or Grasshopper.com. It’s important how your phone greeting sounds, because that’s what makes the first impression on your customers.
And you only get one chance.
Grasshopper Greetings can be custom recorded
Forbes.com recommends 3 specific steps that even the smallest business can take to look and sound more professional:
- 1. Have a professional website: it doesn’t have to be extensive. A few professionally designed pages will do.
- Have a professional email address: don’t use Gmail. That’s for kids
- Have a business phone number: don’t use your home phone number. And speaking of kids, don’t let them answer your phone.
Grasshopper gives you an affordable business phone line.
But did you know that you could record your own custom greeting? It’s worthwhile doing to sound more professional. The Grasshopper Answering service (the recorded Grasshopper auto attendant greeting that answers your calls) will route all your calls to your voicemail.
