- When your phone rings, instead of answering it, "Hello?", pick up the phone and
- make like it's YOU who's calling.
-
- sample:
- your phone rings
- pick it up and say "Hi, is Bob home?"
-
- or "Hi, this is Dr. John's office, I'm calling to confirm your appointment for
- this Wednesday"
-
- Also, setting good messages on your answering machine can be loads of fun.
- I recently had my message be: "Yeello (pause) Hello? Hellloooo? (tap the
- machine) I can barely hear you, could you speak up?! (pause) Hey, listen, why
- don't I call you back on another line, ok? sheeez, damn phone..."
-
- You wouldn't believe how many people kept calling back COMPLETELY fooled.
- My mother-in-law had a fit, though.
-
- jest in fun
