And a few more...  Position your phone on your desk  Know your equipment  Ask before placing on hold (and wait for an answer!)  Never leave customer on hold more than 30 seconds  “Could you please hold while I check that?”  “Thank you for holding”...

Transferring  Blind Transfer  Send call to co-worker without announcing the call  Announced Transfer  Talk with co-worker to let them know WHO is calling prior to their taking the call

Taking messages  Repeat spelling of name and telephone number  You may need to ask for the company name  Record time of call and date  Write complete, but concise message  Indicate if a return call is necessary  Sign or initial at the bottom

Common Phrases  “May I ask who’s calling?”  “Who’s calling, please?”  “May I tell him/her who’s calling?”  “John’s not available at the moment, may I take a message or would you like to leave him a voice message?”  “One moment while I transfer you.”  “I’m sorry, let me try that again.”

What not to Say...  “Um”  “Uhhhh”  “Hold on”  “Hold on a second”  “Just a sec”  “Nope” or “yeah”  “Bye bye”

And, so:  Smile!  Be courteous and polite  Be helpful  Be prepared  Be a good listener  Know your phone  Practice!
