Often a client's first contact with a business is by phone. The following guidelines will help to make the first impression a good one. Most of this etiquette can be used in personal conversations as well as at the office. Professionalism is polite, thoughtful, efficient, educated and valuable at all times.

Answering calls for others

A)   Identify yourself and the company or person for whom you are answering and say,
"How may I help you?
B)   Offer assistance in the absence of others--say,
"She is not in today, perhaps I can be of assistance".
C)   Do not make commitments for others like - "He will call you as soon as he returns".
-say, "I'll give him your message when he returns,"

Bob: "You didn't watch the film yesterday, Mary." Mary: "I did watch the film!")
