ips on making proper business calls. First, you should know 2) the purpose of your call in advance. Make sure you have 3) all the documents you’ll need before you dial. One important thing we should not overlook is time schedule. Try to 4) schedule a specific time for calls. Before you make the call, be sure that you get rid of 5) all distractions. For example, turn off the radio, television, etc. When making the call, listen carefully and 6) confirm that you have understood each point. Don’t pretend you have understood when you haven’t. Another thing we should keep in mind is: let other people speak and try to avoid 7) interruptions. Speaking slowly and clearly is important. Try to avoid 8) strong accent. Besides, make sure 9) you sound polite and agreeable. Remember that you should not argue! Use 10) the optional choice method, such as “Which is better, Monday or Tuesday?”, “Morning or afternoon?”, “Ten or eleven .”? And, of course, try to make your call brief. Avoid 11) lengthy calls. Additionally, don’t try to be funny—you may be misunderstood. The last tip you should bear in mind is to 12) smile while you are talking. Your listener can “hear” your smile.2.1) When Ms. Mandel asked for Mr. Miller, the receptionist replied,“Hold on, please.
