Professional Telephone Behaviour

The way in which the telephone is handled is the indication of the care dedicated to the first contact with clients/guests. If you operate the phone, you are the calling card of your company or department. Most people find the telephone an annoying machine. Understandably so. What you miss is the eye to eye contact with the person on the other side of the line. Therefore, you miss an important source of information.
