General Phone Usage

The phone provides a quick method of communication. However, think carefully about how you use it. Your phone manner is a key part of the company's and your image.

Speak clearly and maintain a friendly manner.

Position the phone within easy reach for use.

Keep a pen and paper near the phone and use them.

Keep a list of company and external numbers handy or use the INDeX function (see page 10).

If you have to talk to someone else in the office during a call, inform the caller and then use MUTE or HOLD.

Avoid giving your operator unnecessary work.

Transfer callers yourself rather than via the operator.

Keep your System Manager informed of changes in your department, so that they can keep your pickup groups, phone directories, etc. up to date.

Answering Calls

Answer the phone promptly and identify yourself.

Sound helpful and friendly.

Get the caller's name and use it.

Do not be bad mannered to wrong numbers, always accept the apology. Transfer the call to the correct extension if you can.

Listen to the caller and let them know you are listening.

If taking a message, include your name, the callers name, date, time and subject.

If cut-off, wait for the original caller to call back.

Making Calls

Know what you want to say, avoid rambling. If necessary, prepare key point notes before the call.

If you get a wrong number, always apologize, it is not the other person's fault.

If cut-off, call back as soon as possible.

If an extension diverts to Voice Mail, leave a message. Do not hold for another person unless urgent.
