This document provides sample voicemail messages and tips for leaving effective messages. The most popular sample message prompts the caller to leave their name, phone number, and a message so the recipient can return their call as soon as possible. A second popular message also apologizes for not answering in person and requests the same call back information. The document recommends including details in the message like work hours and being away, and returning calls promptly. It advises against vague messages that don't specify when a return call will be made.
