Telephone Etiquette
We're beginning the new Lunar Year of the Ram by providing a few solid telephone etiquette tips everyone should be practicing and using on every call.
 


Always identify yourself
at the onset of placing any call.

Example: "Hello, may I speak with Mr. EagerToLearn? My name is Syndi Seid from Advanced Etiquette."

When receiving a call, and especially when the caller does not identify him/her self, do state from the start if the person is not available before asking to take a message. This avoids the impression the call is being screened.

Never use a speaker phone without identifying who else is in the room, or an explanation as to why you are using it when only the two of you are speaking.

Remember to always leave your return telephone number SLOWLY even though you think the person has it ... you never know what may have happened causing the person not to have it with them or access to it at that point in time.

For a more detailed explanation of the above, and other tips on telephone and cell phone etiquette, contact us to request our complimentary one-sheet on "8 Tips to Successful Telephone and Cellphone Etiquette." Another new feature benefitting our subscribers!
