Why not turn that around?  Have the receptionist record a greeting for 
each company, IE:

Hello this is company X, how may I help you?
Welcome to The Y Corporation, how may I direct your call?
Z Corp!  How can I help you?

that then gets Play()ed to the customer when the receptionist picks up 
the call.  Saves wear and tear on the receptionists voice, so they'll 
thank you, and it gives them a hint as to whicch company has been called.
