Okay, do-says and don't-says...\n\nDo-says:\n\n"Hi, I'm _______, a friend of ________."\n\n"I'd like to get to know you, if that's all right with you."\n\n"If you don't want to, I understand, but from what _______ told me, you sound like a pretty cool girl." (or something like that)\n\n"So, you got a name?" (if she hasn't told you)\n\n"So, is there a time that would be good to get together?"\n\n"Well, I look forward to getting to know you! Do you like _____? How about meeting me there?"\n\n"Yeah, and don't worry, if we hate each other, you can just boot me out the door okay?" (say it in a joking way, of course)\n\nDon't says:\n\nDon't say anything about any past relationships that you've had. That's private stuff that will come later, if the relationship between you guys works out, and it will probably make her feel uncomfortable if that's one of the first things that you start talking about.\n\nDon't start immediately blabbing on about you and your life. Leave some room for her too! If you're talking about your favorite sport, keep it short (don't go into the entire game record of your favorite team), and then ask her if she has a favorite sport. Keep her talking, and that will give her the impression that you really do want to get to know her.\n\nDon't lean too heavily on the fact that your friend referred you. In fact, keep from talking about that as much as possible, or it'll sound like you're just doing this because your friend said so, and that would be VERY offensive to her.\n\nBut other than that, be yourself, and have fun! Let her get to know you for who you really are, be friendly and open, and be mindful of everything she says, even if the conversation doesn't last very long. Make it a conversation to remember, but don't try to hard to make it that way, or it will turn out disasterously. Once you get it going, I think you'll be surprised at how natural the words will start coming to you. Especially if she is a nice girl! So just think it over, maybe jot down a few ideas for what to say on a piece of paper, and call her up. Good luck!

"He is not home" and you can say: Digale que me llame, mi nombre es XXXXX"\n\nYou are saying: tell him to call me back, my name is XXXX.

The answer may very, depending upon who you speak with, but as someone who has been the supervisor of a marketing research firm and who has also been a customer service rep for a telephone company, I would have to say the five most important standards, as I have been taught, for a professional phone call are as follows:\n\n1.  Friendly but professional tone of voice.\n\n2.  No dead air.\n\n3.  If you have to put the person on hold, give them an exact timeframe as to when they can expect you to come back, i.e. if you say, "Do you mind holding for a minute?" then come back in exactly one minute.  If you need more time, simply tell the person, "Thank you for holding.  I apologize about the wait.  I am still working this issue out for you.  Do you mind holding for another minute?"\n\n4.  Do not clear your throat, sneeze, cough, etc. with the other person on the line.  If you have to do so, make sure they cannot hear you via a mute button on a headseat or by covering the receiver.\n\n5.  Match the other person's pace.  If they're a fast talker and you're not, speed it up.  If they're a slow talker and you're a fast talker, slow it down.  This will maximize communication between the two of you, it will cut down on frustration, and it, thus, makes the phone call much more efficient.\n\nHope these help.  Best of luck.

Are they calling first or just showing up?\n\nGosh if they are just showing up, you could always say you didn't make enough for more than just you/your family.\n\nIf they are just showing up, you can simply say "tonight is not a good night".  Remember you don't have to explain to them why.  So if they ask just say, it just ins't.\n\nAnd you can always tell them you are giving them their drink in a "to go" cup. LOL. ;)

Call the company, and be firm.  \n\nI warn you.  They'll try to persuade you to keep the account. I argued with one "representative" for nearly 15 minutes.  I grew more angry over the length of the call, and (sorry) began a bit of profanity towards him/her.\nAlso, write a letter (and keep a copy of it).  Keep it brief and simple.\n\nExpect your request to be satisfied immediately.

I used to do front desk duty at a fairly busy law office.  I always answered the phone with "Legal Office," and my name.\n\nGuess what the first question people often asked was?\n\n"Uh, is this the legal office?"\n\nIf they're that unsure who they're calling when specifically given the information, why confuse them by just saying a name?

Practice.\nTry using different kinds of speech. \nTry to put customer service as the number one priority.\nTry writing your words and sentences before on a piece of paper and practice talking before. Record it and hear it yourself.
