1. Starting Up
1) Work with your partner to work out as many business telephone tips as you can. For example: ● Try to identify a convenient time to call the person. ● Try to speak slowly and clearly.
BEFORE MAKING A CALL
Before making an outgoing call make sure you always have:
Clarified in your mind the reason or objectives for the call. The correct documents to hand. A message pad and pen/pencil near the telephone. The phone number/extension. The name of the person you are calling/a second contact, i.e. secretary name. A note of the points you wish to raise.
Have you covered the essential points?
Is the information you’re giving correct? Is it the kind of call you would like to receive yourself?
In this part you will listen to a passage about telephone manners and a telephone conversation. Try to finish the exercises while listening.
Would you like to speak to the new man? Can you spell that for me?

WAYS OF FINISHING TELEPHONE CONVERSATIONS

MAKING BUSINESS CALLS
Do’s
- Make clear who you are and who the company is. Create a welcoming
atmosphere straight off - Know your office departments and the people within them. Have a list on hand with departments, names , extension numbers and specific job titles. - Always CONFIRM that you have (or have not) understood each point that‟s been made. - Make sure you sound POLITE and AGREEABLE. - Make sure your call is BRIEF. - Make sure that you sound EFFICIENT—your firm‟s image may be at stake, even if you‟re just taking a message. - Smile while you‟re talking. Your listener can „hear‟ your smile. - Send a follow-up e-mail, fax or letter to confirm any important details (especially prices and numbers), so that you both have a written record.
MAKING BUSINESS CALLS
Don'ts
- Don‟t leave a phone ringing for more than four rings - Don‟t try to be funny—you may be misunderstood. - Don‟t interrupt the other person: let them finish what they want to say. - Don‟t talk too fast. - Don‟t do other tasks at the same time you are calling. Concentrate on the caller!! - If the call was transferred, don‟t pass a client from one person to another. - Don't leave a caller on hold for long periods of time. If you are going to take time to help a caller as for their telephone number and call them back when you are able to help. - Don‟t pretend you have understood when you haven‟t. - Don‟t rely on your memory: make notes during a call and rewrite these notes immediately afterwards as a record of the call.
3.1.1 Listen to the passage and answer the following questions. 1) What are telephone conversations expected to do?
