Added for You - How Effective Are You on the Telephone? Important Telecommunications Tips
The question of whether to work for a company or run your own business is a difficult one to answer. It's a dilemma that many people face in the course of their lives. Sometimes it happens right at the start, as soon as they leave school. Sometimes the question crops up after years of working for a company. For so many people the time will come when such a decision has to be made. We take a look at
It is important, as always, to be well prepared. The more prepared you are for any presentation, the more smoothly it will progress and the more professional you will appear.

Telephone impressions are as important as in-person impressions. the first impression we make over the telephone will be lasting and will set the tone for the present and/or any upcoming interaction we will have with that person. Opportunities abound. We may be recording our own answering device message, leaving a voice mail message on someone else's device, speaking to an assistant, answering a call, making an order, asking a question or trying to establish a relationship with a potential client, What kind of impression are you making?
Remember that the person on the other end of the phone can't see you, so your voice, pacing, and words are all important. Therefore, it is imperative that you practice your telephone voice and tone as carefully as you would practice a speech in front of an audience. Use vocal variety, with tonal inflection. Add enthusiasm to your voice. Pace your words and speak clearly. And, people can hear a smile, so be sure to act and smile as if you were speaking face to face, eyeball to eyeball.
This is where we can learn from those unfortunate people who are employed by telecommunications firms and have to make calls to the unsuspecting. First of all, they seem distracted. When I answer, it usually takes them a few minutes to start their spiel. Then when they do start speaking, it is in a monotone, too quickly with no pauses or pacing (probably because they don't want us to get a chance to say, "no”). They are prepared with a written speech which is delivered poorly. This leads me to my next point.

Great, so you can repipe a home or seal a leak in virtually anything made, so what? Is it enough that you and maybe a few of your employees are in business and pretty darn good at what you do? What is going to ultimately make you successful? Your accountant, insurance agent, landlord, truck fleet dealer, or your parts supplier? A big “No” should be the answer in all those cases. How about your Yell

Don't you hate articles that start out by calling you lazy? I'm bucking the trend with this one, so we're going to call it 'efficiency' not laziness.Most of the marketing materials surrounding the event registration process focus on how to improve the process for your attendees. Of course it's important to take care of your attendees, because without them your vendors don't need your event

You are in business for yourself, but how well do you know your customers and community? A good way to become better at understanding your community is to develop spread sheet databases of service clubs in your town with contact names, phone numbers, email addresses and brief descriptions.

Before you record a message on your answering device, take the time to consider the impression you are trying to make. When I receive a canned message - especially one that comes with the answering system, right away I form the picture of someone rather unimaginative.
How do you want the caller to react? For a business, I don't suggest (and this has happened to me) that you have your five or six-year old leave a cute, giggly message or record a joke or wild music, etc. But, I do suggest adding some personality to your recording. Take the time to review what you have recorded and then call yourself from somewhere else to hear what you sound like. My message usually gets a "WOW!" and an answer, because one of the phrases I use is that "I am excellent at returning phone calls, so leave an interesting message, and I will get back to you as soon as possible." And, I do, which to me is telecommunications' etiquette.
Treat all your telephone exchanges with care. You will make a lasting impression to be proud of.
