A greeting can be this short

This existing AI recording uses the placeholder ‘your company’. Replace it with your business name in your own script. The system handles the transfer; the recording only tells callers what happens next.

Welcome greeting
“Welcome to your company. One moment please, we are connecting you.”

Write a phone menu to follow the greeting

After downloading

Upload the greeting to your system's welcome-message slot. Then configure what happens next: transfer the call, play a menu or put the caller in a queue. Call your number and listen to the transition.

What belongs in a welcome greeting

A greeting does not need to explain everything. Your business name and the next step are usually enough. Save opening hours and callback details for when they are needed.

  1. 01

    Your name, immediately

    Start with the name your customers know. You can usually leave out a long slogan.

  2. 02

    What happens next

    Describe what actually happens next. “We are connecting you” only fits if your system then connects the call.

  3. 03

    An alternative, if needed

    If callers face a long wait, offer an alternative in the queue message, such as calling later or leaving a message. It does not all need to be in the greeting.

Example scripts to copy

There are ready-made welcome scripts, from short and businesslike to warm and inviting. Fill in your company name and the rest is written.

Check these before ordering

Is the name clear?

Listen closely to your business name, abbreviations and place names. Adjust the spelling if pronunciation is wrong, then preview again.

Does the menu follow naturally?

Make the greeting fit the next message so callers do not hear the same explanation twice.

Does the voice match?

Use the same voice and tone for the greeting, menu and queue message if you want a consistent sound.

What if the script changes?

You can preview an updated script. Downloading a new recording requires another payment or credits. Keep your final script and voice choice for next time.

Hear how it sounds first

Type your script, pick a voice and listen to the result. It costs nothing and commits you to nothing.

Questions about your welcome greeting

How much does a welcome greeting cost?

One welcome greeting costs €19, including VAT. Preview your own words with an AI voice for free. After payment, download the recording without a watermark.

How is this different from a voicemail greeting?

A welcome greeting plays before a call is transferred or a menu starts. A voicemail greeting explains that you cannot answer and asks the caller to leave a message.

Can I add a phone menu to my greeting?

Yes. Record the greeting and menu together or create separate recordings. Check how your phone system plays them first. The recording names the keys; you configure their destinations in the phone system.
