I don't know, as far as voice mail messages go, theirs isn'r bad, but how about:

Welcome to [name] manufacturing. You may enter an extension number at any time.

to reach the sales department, press 2
to reach the accounting department, press 4
to reach the shipping department, press 5
to reach a directory organized by first name, press 7

If you need further assistance, press zero or stay on the line.

Thank you for calling [name] manufacturing.


I figure if people know someone's extension, they know how one of these systems work, and don't need the detailed directions. THat's the best I can do. Good luck, and you'll have to give us all the number so we can hear your dulcet tones!
