You must be patient and polite at all times and try to be helpful. Also you must speak with a pleasant voice. Try to smile on the phone!

If you are a secretary in a department of the organisation and you receive a call, announce your own name or the name of your department, for example 'Sales'. You must speak clearly but you must also listen carefully - this can save a lot of time! If the caller speaks too quickly or has a strange accent, you mustn't be afraid to ask them to speak more slowly. This can help to save time and avoid mistakes, and you mustn't forget to take notes if it's a long call. If the caller wants to speak to another person in your department, but can't because the other person is busy or isn't there, you must remember to ask if you can take a message.
