SECTION 3 PLANNING CALL ROUTING
Use the Call Routing Planning Worksheet to record c all-routing key
assignments and draft the opening and call-routing box greetings that
you will record when you set up call routing for your voice messagin g

action when a caller enters an invalid call-routing key or does not press a
key after hearing a greeting.

greeting for day (and night if desired) to reflect availa ble c all-r outin g
keys.
5. Test call-routing keys.

the worksheet for each call-routing box you plan to
include in your call-routing setup.
Keep greetings simple. Guide callers to the right person

use.
Tell callers the choice or destination first, and then the
