You need to keep in mind that every caller could be a potential or existing
customer, and the way that you handle calls will directly impact your ability to win
new customers, build relationships and increase sales.
Telephone etiquette is important when you are making calls as well as when you
are answering calls.
When the telephone rings in your business, you should aim to answer it on the
second ring whenever possible.
You should answer the phone with a greeting followed by your business name
and then your own name.
Don't put people on hold immediately after answering the phone as people may
interpret this as rude and think you aren't interested in their inquiry.
When you are talking on the phone, it is important that you speak clearly and
loudly enough for people to understand you. You might also need to speak
slowly if the other person is taking down notes or prices based on what you are
saying.
You should always have a notepad and something to write with when talking on
the phone in case there is something important that you need to note down. Also
have any necessary information or documents at hand in case you are asked
about specific information.
When making outgoing calls to either individuals or businesses, you should try to
keep your calls within business hours. Remember that the person you have
called may be busy, so be prepared to wait on hold, leave a message or call

back later. If you accidently call a wrong number, apologies and state your
mistake before you hang up.
Answering the phone with a smile on your face might sound cheesy but it
really works. It doesnt matter if you are having a bad day, are half way through a
complicated spreadsheet or half way out of the door on the way home. Your
caller takes priority. Warm and enthusiastic is suddenly the order of the day.
Always mention your company name in your greeting. It confirms where the
caller is ringing without them having to check and sets the tone for a professional
conversation.
Speak clearly and use professional language enunciate every word and
avoid using cheers, uh-huh, mate ,yeah etc. You are speaking to a business
contact not your drinking pal. Keep it friendly but business-like.
When taking a message check the information you are noting. Re-confirm any
spellings that you are unsure of back to the caller. I can almost guarantee any
subsequent emails to Katy will put you on the back foot if you put Dear Katie.
If you are taking down email addresses or telephone numbers always read these
back. You dont want a red hot business lead in your hand that you cant get
back to.
Learn the phonetic alphabet and use it when you are confirming spellings back.
Its not difficult to pick up and N for November sounds so much better than So
thats N for Noddy?

Even if you have no idea what they are talking about remain positive and
professional by using let me find that out for you and come back to you rather
than I dont know as it shows interest and a willingness to help.
If possible give the caller an idea when they can expect a call back. If your
colleague is in a meeting or out of the office for the afternoon explain it may be
the following day that they get a response and check if someone else can help
them. Your poor colleague may well get a frosty reception if they call back a day
later and from the way you took the message the caller had expected a quicker
response.
If you have to put people on hold make sure you go back to update them
every few seconds or so and remember to keep offering to have them called
back
Be aware your out of hours callers are just as important as those who call
within office hours. You may well receive calls in the evening and over the
weekend particularly if your callers are consumers. Have a professional call
answering service in place for these people your next big sale could come
through when your office is closed. Dont put them off by letting the phone ring or
using an impersonal answer phone. A new customer will almost certainly call the
next business in your industry that bothers to pick up.

Place the pages on the tray so that the cover page will transmit first. Most fax machines
have an input tray or slot to receive the document to be transmitted. Be sure you orient
the document according to the instructions that are usually found on the machine or
tray itself. If you place it the wrong-side down, you will transmit a blank sheet of paper.
Step 3
Enter the phone number of the destination fax machine on the fax machines keypad.
Your businesss phone system may require you to enter a number to acquire an outside
line, so be sure to follow your internal procedures for phone calls.
Step 4
Press the Start or Send button to begin the transmission. The fax machine scans the
document, dials the destination number and transmits the document. When finished, it
prints a transmission status page with either an OK or a Transmission Failed
message. If the latter is the case, repeat the process.
