Description
In business and in leisure, we are all expected to deal with other people over the phone. When we aren't having an 'in person' conversation, and we aren't getting eye contact, it's easy to forget some of the simple etiquette which is important for a positive exchange. In fact, if the only part of your communication is verbal, it's sometimes the case that we misinterpret information, we feel irritated at the miscommunication, we get distracted by other factors in the vicinity, and mis-hear words and instructions.
This can lead to poorly handled conversations. In professional terms, this could translate to missed business, unhappy customers, lost sales, wasted opportunities for sales, badly handled messages being taken, incorrect spellings.... and I could go on.
Not to mention the bad temper, feelings of frustration and eventual low review of your business or company if we get the call-handling wrong.
So in my course Essential Telephone Skills and Techniques, I'll be covering some first class telephone etiquette, using my super-successful verbal formula for handling difficult customers, and giving you a step-by-step process to accomplish this.
I've uploaded examples of telephone Do's and Don'ts, which you can print out and leave nearby as a memory-jogger, for when those particular moments try to catch you out.
You'll come away from the course with a clear picture of how you can work so positively on your telephone skills.

I work with individuals who have ADHD, and with schools/colleges on subjects such as behaviour management, ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia and Resilience. I've always enjoyed this work, because it can make such a difference to families, teachers and young people, and I’m really happy to be able to share a number of approaches that work well.

Informative. Good for beginners.
good
A lot to learn, as a new salesperson, understanding what goes on in the inner part of a phone conversation is a good expository that I will really put into practice.
It is a helpful session, and I love it
It was very informative and succinct!
