Your message must be professional – not cutesy.  Forget about your dog doing the
voiceovers.  Keep it short and
snappy.  Make sure you keep a call sheet
handy and teach your family how to take a message if everyone is using the same
phone.  If you have a teenage daughter
and just one line then you must get Call
Answering because the line is likely to be busy and people will
only call back so
many times.

Consider giving out your e-mail and web site address as part
of your message.

If you sound like a drone then have someone with a
pleasant voice record your message.

Keep the tone of the message business-like.
