Introduction
The telephone is the most pervasive communication tool in business today. In fact, every day approximately 500 million telephone calls are transacted.
Consequently, millions of businesses project their images and reputations through the telephone lines daily. Customers are won and lost between the second and third unanswered rings, within the chasm called "hold," by an interminable transfer and the sneer or smile of a voice. How we conduct business over the telephone can make or break our company. Our manner must be both professional and personal to address the needs of a customer in a high-tech, global society.
While we depend on the telephone as our primary communication tool, it also produces long-winded callers, disconnected lines, unanswered messages and, ultimately, a lot of frustration. The miscommunication that often results leaves us feeling that the telephone is not the "perfect" tool Alexander Graham Bell described. Since the first telephone call in 1886, we've wrestled with the aggravation of telephone miscommunication despite giant leaps in technology that have made the telephone virtually a minicomputer.
Clearly, we will become even more dependent on the telephone in the next century, and with each new decade will come challenges and changes.
Our telephone style, telemarketing strategy and communication skills must be effective to withstand the stresses of business today and tomorrow. Taking the time now to develop techniques for answering calls, marketing products and services, listening between the sentences, qualifying customers, satisfying needs, ensuring return business and recording efficient messages will assuredly save you time and customers later.
This handbook helps you cope with the problems and frustrations you encounter and shows you how to refine your telephone skills to become more effective and productive.
