Telephone Etiquette

Placing a Call

Keep the frequently called numbers handy
Double check the name of the person you want to call
Do you know how to pronounce his name?
Is the phone number correct?
Is it an appropriate time to call?
Ask caller if it is OK or convenient to speak?
If the line has disturbance, tell the caller that you will call back

Some Basic Guidelines

Identify yourself when making a call
Address the caller by his name in a courteous manner
Keep conversation brief
Never be curt
Never be impatient
Listen carefully
Do not interrupt
Do not eat or chew something while speaking on phone
If you wish to put the caller on hold, request his permission to do so
Close your conversation with an appropriate salutation
Let the caller hang up first
When you receive a call, pick up the phone within three rings
Answer the call
In case of missed calls, return the call within a reasonable period of time

While Speaking

Prepare and plan the contents and sequence of your communication/conversation
Speak slowly
Pronounce words correctly
Don't mumble, speak clearly
Use good mannerly language
Don't be crude in your expressions
Use appropriate salutations at appropriate times during the conversation
Use phrases/words like: I appreciate your assistance, Thank you, May I request you, etc

Placing Call on Hold

Request caller if you can keep on hold
Show courtesy in your communication
In case it is taking long time, keep coming back to caller and tell reasons of the delay
Tell the duration of wait time or delay and ask caller if he will like to be put on hold for that much duration
Offer to call back if the delay is more and caller does not want to be put on hold for that long

Wrong Numbers

If you reach a wrong number and you are told that it was a wrong number, express regret
If some one calls you by mistake, inform the caller politely that he reached a wrong number
In case the caller has reached you while trying to reach another person in your organization, help him out by giving the correct phone number if you can find out or transfer the call to the right person

Managing Angry Callers

Listen his problem or complaint carefully
Do not interrupt him, let him finish the whole thing first
Do not show off or act smart
Do not say, "you are wrong"
Empathize with him
After he has finished, if appropriate, you may use the expressions like: I am sorry for the inconvenience or I appreciate what you are saying and in your place I would have been upset too
You should be good in your area of work and investigate about his complaint or problem and solve it
If you can not solve immediately, tell him the process of solving the problem and how much time it would take to solve
Do not mislead him
Call him back when you have the solution/information and give him that communication at the earliest possible; this feedback is important

Cell Phone Etiquette

Do not try to impress the people around by flaunting your latest gizmo
Do not use annoying, disturbing, jarring, funny ring tones
Respond within three rings
Don't shout over phone.
Your volume level of speech should be such that it does not disturb the public
Do not wear the ear piece when not using your cell phone
Switch off cell phone or keep it at vibrate or silent mode at public places like school/college class room, hospital, theater, cinema hall/multiplex etc
Switch off completely while traveling on an airplane
Do not use cell phone while driving
Do not ring people at in-appropriate timings, places or situations
Do use cell phones in any emergency- that is the real use of cell phone

Etiquette and Manners: Fourth List: Some More Additional Manners

Some More Additional Manners

When you are in a line waiting to be served, wait patiently in the line for your turn.
Saying "thank you" to the person who gave you any kind of service does not harm anyone. So, always thank the people who helped you.
When you are in any public place, behave in a manner that does not inconvenience you or anyone else. If you are important, please remember that other people matter too.
When you are traveling in an airplane, coach or train or by any other mode of transport and your seat back has the facility to recline, do not lean back all the way.
Never use abusive language dotted by four letter words or their equivalents even if you have lost your temper completely.
Do not lose your temper. Get angry but do not hurt yourself by burning your blood, raising your blood pressure, creating a heart condition and so on. Anger harms no one but you. So learn to manage anger. Refer: http://controlling-anger.blogspot.com/

Do not use irritating, annoying and loud ring tones. Never ever use the crying baby or barking dogs types of ring tones on your mobile.
Even if the organization where you work allows you to wear casuals in the office, select decent T-shirts/tops and jeans. Do not wear tattered jeans despite these being in fashion at times. Always wear well washed and well pressed clothes. When you need to attend meetings with bosses of your organization or with professionals of outside organizations, putting on formals is desirable.

Etiquette and Manners: The First List

External and Internal Personalities

In learning and following the etiquette and manners, both your external and internal personalities count- you actually display outwardly as well as what you really are. At times, you may succeed in displaying good side of you despite your internally weak personality but it requires lots of efforts. On the other side, if your internal personality is good, you can learn to display yourself that way easily with much less efforts. Both the types of personalities are important.

While internal personality is the real you and your all time asset and that should be excellent, it is important to have impressive external personality too, as you are aware that at times, first impression may be the last impression. You may not get another chance to correct that impression if it was not OK for the other person who matters to you.

The First List of ELQs (Executive Like Qualities)(Not in any particular order)

- Knocking the door of the cabin of the person you are visiting and taking permission to enter before entering the cabin.
- Always checking up with the executives of the company or their secretaries for an appointment for better time management and as manners.
- Pick up the phone before two to three rings.
- On phone, being polite.
- On phone, answer by giving your company's name, your name and department's name.
- Whenever you receive a phone for some one else, take down the name of the caller, his organization name, telephone number and pass them on to the person who was called.
- Never put a caller on the hold for more than a few seconds. In case you wish to do it, request for the caller's permission to do so.
- Always be 100% punctual in meetings.
- Always go fully prepared for meetings, keep all the relevant data/information with you.
- Say "good morning”, "good evening" etc as appropriate with a warm, firm and brief hand shake. Never keep holding the hand of the person with whom you are shaking hands.
- Do not shake hands with particularly Indian ladies on your own (unless she takes initiative). Say "namaste" politely with folded hands. Do study the cultural aspects of such greetings and salutations for other cultures too.
- In a situation where it is OK to shake hand with a lady, squeeze the hand no harder than she squeezes yours.
- Never say "good night" when you are meeting another person in the evening/night. The correct salutation is "good evening". When you part company in the night then only say "good night".
- Try to remember the correct names of the persons with whom you are dealing and address them by their correct names. Never call other person by yelling a "hello" or "Sh sh sh" etc. They are bad manners.
- Never keep your mouth open while taking a yawn. Close it by keeping a palm over the mouth. In the first place do not yawn in front of others, control it.
- While sitting do not keep shaking your legs.
- Keep your mouth clean of bad breath. Do not eat garlic or onions etc during the day time if possible.
- Keep your body clean of bad odors. Keep yourself clean and use perfume/deodorant.
- Do not talk/gossip with a fellow colleague sitting next to you during the conduct of meetings.
- In case you have to go out of a running meeting under some compulsion, do so without disturbing others.
- Always offer chair to others for sitting.
- Do not shout while talking. Always keep your cool.
- You must dress properly, well fitting, clean and well pressed clothes.
- Do not wear the same socks every day. Wash them and then only use.
- Polish your shoes regularly.
- Shave daily without any exception (for men).
- Avoid smoking, taking tobacco or pan masala etc in public.
- Never spit.
- Cut your nails regularly.
- Comb your hair properly.
- Do not keep scratching your body in public.
- Rehearse your sentences in mind before you actually speak out.
- Never talk loose.
- Be friends with your subordinates but never become familiar because familiarity breeds contempt.
- Keep diary and make sure that whatever tasks you undertake should be completed in time.
- You should not be seen whiling away your time or gossiping.
- Never encourage grapevines.
- Do not have favorites. Treat every one professionally.
- Never leak out company secrets, policies and confidential information.
- If you do not drink, say a polite "no, thanks" for drinks. If you do drink, keep it in limits in parties.
