How to converse on a telephone in Professional Practice?

Telephone has become a common instrument for us. Even then very few of us have a proper training to talk on the telephone. Here are few suggestions to improve your telephone talk.

A. Use of ‘Hello’ to be minimum on phone.

B. When you make a call, say who do you want to talk, rather than asking to the other end “Aap kaum?” ‘Who are you’? “Hello, Kaun Bolta hai”, this is a bad manner. Instead say, “Namaskar, Harish from Popatlal & Co.; May I talk to Chimanbhai?”

C. When you receive a call in an office, irrespective of the calling person being known or unknown to you, greet him and say where from you have received the call.

“Good morning, B. P.L.Ltd” OR “Associated Architects, Namaskar”.

If a person called is not in the office at that time, the person who receives the call shall show interest in attending the call, shall not sound indifferent to the calling person. If the calling party is unknown to you, you shall softly insist upon knowing the name of the person and where from was he calling and what was it about. The person receiving the call must show in his voice interest and concern in the business the calling party has with your office.

Habit to Postpone the work

A father in the morning, while going to his work, asked his son to do certain work for him. The son, who was in junior college, was more interested in loitering in the college. So he thought he could attend to work of his father little later or may be in the afternoon. In the college, while gossiping with friends, he forgot the work of his father.

Obviously in the evening his father was disappointed with him. This habit of postponement of work shall not be your nature. “There is long time on hand to complete the submission work, so let us work on it little later”.

This is how you think most of the time. This habit of postponement of work is certainly unsuitable in your career.

Address | Aspect of Personality Development

When you meet a person or when you come across a person known to you, you should greet him. That is considered as good manners. Most of you have complex in mind or are not trained at all in your young age. Depending upon your relation with the person such as senior or junior, older or younger, colleague or friend, you shall say Namaskar or good morning, Hi or Hello. Bu to ignore a person, particularly your senior, is ill manners.

When you come across a person older to you in an informal or formal get together you should approach to him and greet him. “How do you do” shall be replied by saying “How do you do” or “How are you sir?” shall be replied as “fine! Thank you”.
