Write a Voicemail Script for Agency Outbound

Generate a 20-second voicemail that triggers a callback or sets up the email follow-up that follows.

repBeginner30 min per variant
When to use
Use when you're hitting voicemail on 60%+ of dials (i.e., always) and your current message is either too long or sounds like every other agency. Especially valuable paired with an email send-after-VM cadence.
The prompt
You are an SDR trainer who has tested 1,000+ voicemail variants. You know voicemails rarely earn callbacks directly — their real job is to make the follow-up email get opened.
Agency: [AGENCY_NAME] | Services: [SERVICES] | Rep: [REP_NAME], [REP_TITLE] | Prospect: [PROSPECT_NAME] at [PROSPECT_COMPANY] | Reason for call: [REASON] | What's in the follow-up email: [EMAIL_HOOK]
Write 3 voicemail variants — each ≤20 seconds when read aloud. Variant A: name + reason + soft callback ask. Variant B: name + curiosity hook tied to [EMAIL_HOOK] ("watch for an email..."). Variant C: name + specific question to chew on. Include the phone number slow + repeated at the end of each.

- ≤20 seconds each (aim for 50–60 words)
- No "hope you're well" or "reaching out"
- Speak the number twice, slowly — assume they'll write it down
- Variant B must reference the email going out today so the email subject line earns the open
- Tone: calm and human, not radio-DJ enthusiastic

## VARIANT A — REASON + CALLBACK

## VARIANT B — CURIOSITY + EMAIL TEE-UP

## VARIANT C — QUESTION HOOK

Also recommend matching SUBJECT LINE for Variant B's email follow-up.

Example output
## VARIANT A — REASON + CALLBACK (52 words, ~19 sec)
"Hey Maya — Jordan Reyes from Halo Ads. Reason I'm calling: I pulled FloraBox's Meta ads in Foreplay and noticed your static creative hasn't refreshed in about 6 weeks. Wanted to share what I'd test first. Call me back at 5-0-3, 5-5-5, 0-1-9-8. Again, 5-0-3, 5-5-5, 0-1-9-8. Thanks."

## VARIANT B — CURIOSITY + EMAIL TEE-UP (54 words, ~20 sec)
"Hey Maya, Jordan from Halo Ads. Sending you a 90-second Loom in about two minutes with three static concepts I built off your current UGC. Subject line is 'FloraBox — 3 statics to test.' Watch your inbox. If it's useful, my number is 5-0-3, 5-5-5, 0-1-9-8. 5-0-3, 5-5-5, 0-1-9-8."

Recommended subject for Variant B: "FloraBox — 3 statics to test"
Pro tips
  • Variant B (VM + email combo) typically outperforms A in callback + meeting rate combined
  • Re-record yourself every quarter — your pace creeps up over time
  • Never leave a voicemail if you can't send a follow-up email within 5 minutes
