2 September/October 2015 Page 2 PRESIDENT S LETTER Susan Uranker, President To our members: Last week I called my favorite hair salon to schedule an appointment. The receptionist who answered the phone prompted a smile on my face. I soon realized that every time I call, they make me smile. Their greeting is simple, It a beautiful day at Bella Capelli, how may I help you? I think to myself that yes, it is a beautiful day. The phone is often the first contact most people have with your business. How your business phone is answered will definitely make an impression with your customers so making a good impression is vital. It s the beginning of building, cultivating and sustaining positive relationships. To help us evaluate this, I ve searched the internet for some key tips on answering the phone properly. Here s what the experts say: According to Cron.com, the key lies in promptness and the greeting. Avoid letting the telephone ring more than two or three times before answering it. The speed, pitch, and tone of your voice are important for creating a positive experience during a call. Answer the phone with a relaxed and pleasant tone. Keep your greeting short but informative, with just enough information that lets a caller know whether he has reached the right destination. A blog on Birchills.net advises to create a company policy on how to pick up incoming calls and be sure everyone in your organization is trained to answer your phones. If you recognize someone's voice or name, make them feel special and that you want to speak to them by asking how they are. Everyone likes the personal treatment and being regarded as special. And they recommend Learn how to use your phone system's features smoothly. A failed transfer or being hung up on can be quite frustrating. Ensure that your staff is trained effectively too. About.com counsels us to Control your language when answering the phone. Don't use slang or buzzwords. Instead of saying, "OK", or "No problem", say "Certainly", "Very well", or "All right". If you're a person who uses fillers when you speak, such as "uh huh", "um", or phrases such as "like" or "you know", train yourself carefully not to use these when you speak on the phone. They stress to Answer all your calls within one business day. Remember the early bird? The early caller can get the contract, the sale, the problem solved, and reinforce the favorable impression of your business that you want to circulate. Good phone answering skills are critical for your business. Conduct a check up on your business to see if the phone is being answered in a professional manner. Not returning phone calls is the severest form of torture in the civilized world. With kind regards, Susan Uranker, (Brookdale Westlake Village) West Shore Chamber President
