BASIC TELEPH inONE SKILLS

Asnwer Quickly

Picking up the phone after ring number three is a good rule of thumb

Introduce Yourself

Take the time to explain who you are, what your role is within the organization, and how exactly you can help them. Ex: Thank you for calling (account/company), my name is ____________.

Speak Clearly

To make customers fell better, try to inject positivity and approachability into the conversation by speaking calmly and clearly.

MasterBrand Tone of Voice

If the caller expects a professional, corporate tone, and discovers an overly casual voice on the other end of the phone, the brand will feel less authentic.

Set out the Purpose of the Call

  • Every single call should have a goal, and in order to meet that goal, both parties need to be on the same page from the start.
  • Be clear and concise, but friendly.
Ex: How can I help you today? May I know how can I help?

Give your full attention

They might not be able to see you, but the person you’re speaking to will know if your attention isn’t fully on them. Ex: I’ll be happy to assist you today. Sure, I can definitely check it for you.

Ask Before Putting Someone on Hold or Transferring

This is a simple courtesy that’s all too often overlooked. Asking the person on the other end of the phone before you transfer them or put them on hold will go a long way to easing their user journey with you.

Ex: Can I place you onhold for a minute or two? May I place you onhold for one to two minutes?

Stay Positive

Ex: I’m sorry to hear about that, but no worries I’ll check it for you. I do apologize for the inconvenience, but rest assured your concern will be addressed properly..

- Staying positive is vital for those representing their company over the phone, even when dealing with complaints.
