Smile On The Phone
(Not published in online story)
Sometimes, all you know is what you hear on the telephone.
Here is advice from Aurora author Jeannie Davis from her
books, Beyond "Hello" and Real
World Customer Service Strategies That Work.
- Look good to yourself.
Self-esteem, or what you think about yourself, is the driving
force behind your attitude. Looking good to yourself means more
than feeling good inside. It also means looking good on the outside,
which lets others know how well you view yourself.
- Develop a can-do
attitude. When you transmit a positive can-do attitude,
people are naturally more responsive. Productivity and customer
relationships suffer when our attitude isn't on straight. Anyone
can provide good customer service. The challenge always is to
strive for customer service excellence by going the extra mile.
- Practice positive
thinking. Eighty percent of what we say to ourselves
is negative. Sometimes you need to assess your initial reaction,
work through negative circumstances and take it upon yourself
to turn things around. Make a habit of replacing negative helpless
thoughts with positive powerful ones.
- Use positive language.
People understand and respond one-third more quickly to positive
words than negative ones. Notice how you respond differently when
specific comments or requests are phrased in a more positive manner.
-- Doug McPherson

Careers article.
Networking Key to Finding Job
Jeannie Davis, president of Now Hear This, a Colorado-based company
that teaches people how to best present themselves on the phone, says
telephone conversations limit communication about 60%. “If the interview
is via phone, it’s a good idea to brush up on your voice skills,”
Davis says.
“All you have going for you is your attitude and the tone of your
voice.” A key is to smile while speaking. “People hear you smile on
the phone—it lifts your voice,” Davis says. Another key is to be organized.
“If you’re nervous or don’t think well on your feet, make notes with
bulleted items you don’t want to forget.” Above all, give yourself
a pep talk. “Apprehension comes across in your voice, but so does
self-confidence,” says Davis. (Reprinted with permission) |
