8 Simple Telephone Etiquette To Practice

1. Introduce yourself clearly if the person you are calling is not familiar with you.

Don’t wait for him to ask ‘who’s on the line?’; the onus of first introduction is on the caller.

2. Always start with greetings, no matter the urgency or unpleasantness of the situation.

Saying “hello” is not a form of greeting, but only an indication of readiness to talk.

3. The caller has the right of last word; after all, he called you and is paying for the call.

Thus, you don’t hang up before the caller does. He alone knows the reason why he called you.

4. Notwithstanding Rule 3 above, the most Senior has the last say.

So, you do not hang up on your senior or your boss.

5. Be polite always and let your voice reflect it.

6. Endeavor to always return missed calls when you’re able to.

7. Take an excuse to pick up a waiting call, if it is a very important call.

8. Don’t hang up the phone until you have made closing remarks, as the caller or the person being called may still have more to say.
