After hours
Thanks for calling Riverside Plumbing. I am the AI receptionist, and the team is away right now. We are open 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday to Saturday. I can take your details and the reason for your call so someone can follow up, or answer a question about our services. How can I help you today?
Busy line
You have reached Riverside Plumbing. I am the AI receptionist. Everyone is helping another customer at the moment, so I can take your request for a service visit and pass it to a technician, or answer a question while you wait. How can I help you today?
What a good business greeting does
A greeting has three jobs in about eight seconds: confirm the caller reached the right business, say who or what is answering, and open the door to the reason for the call. The scripts above do those three things in that order and stop. They do not promise a callback time, a text message or a booking, because a greeting that promises what the next step cannot deliver is the fastest way to lose a caller's trust.
Why there are three
- Business hours. The team is reachable, so the greeting offers a transfer as well as answers and messages.
- After hours. The team is away. The greeting says so, mentions your hours if you gave them, and makes taking the caller's details the natural next step instead of a dead end.
- Busy line. Everyone is on another call. The greeting explains the wait without apologising three times, and offers to take the request so the caller is not asked to call back.
Editing the result
Keep the AI disclosure. Replace the generic "a technician" or "the front desk" with the role your callers expect, and say the business name the way regulars say it. If you read the greeting aloud and it takes longer than a slow breath, cut a clause. The script generator continues from here with what the receptionist says once the caller answers.
Questions about this tool
Why does every greeting say it is an AI?
Because the receptionist does. Vocapable plays an AI disclosure at the start of every call, before the first word of conversation, so a greeting that hides it would not match what callers hear.
Can I use these with another phone system?
Yes. They are plain text. A greeting for a voicemail box or an auto-attendant works the same way; the after-hours script is written for exactly that use.
Can I hear a greeting in a Vocapable voice?
You can listen to the published voices on the demo page with their example scripts. Hearing your own greeting in a chosen voice happens during setup, where you review the whole call before paying.
