By thanking them and putting  the phone down.\n\nYou can't, don't be a nuisance caller and make life harder for the rest of us, recognise it for what it is - a "NO".\n\nBut training should help your listening skills, its not the NO's you need to focus on, its the maybe and the possiblies you need to convert.

Call and ask them or get someone to call them for you!

you are kidding right?  Well if not, you dial the number.  When the phone is answered by an operator you ask for the extension.  If it is answered by a computerized system you type in the extension at the appropriate time.

you know....you could call her back and say something about how you answered the phone but that you were so nervous and then mention why... maybe like becuase you really like her or she is beautiful or something to tha effect that you didn't know what to say..... If you say somethin like that she might even think it was cute or endeering.....

Never - when I hear the phone ring (which isn't often cause I've turned it down so low), if I'm busy with my 1 year old twins, then forget it, my kids are more important than whoever is on the phone, and they should leave a message if they want to be called back.\n\nYou are right, people who answer your phone are rude, none of their business who is calling you!  Stand up for your privacy rights and say something (politely) to the effect of "Please don't answer my private calls."  If they get offended it's their fault - know that offense is taken, not given.

If you have an early bird friend, have them give you a call. Put the phone close by, with the volume turned way up. Have them call you three times, three minutes apart. Then, on the last call, you know if you don't pick it up, they're not calling back and you'll be in deep doo-doo if you don't move it. Hopefully, you'll answer on the first ring, sitting upright and ready to do your thing. <*)))><

Here are a few tips:\n\nTo speak clearly, use complete words, like "Yes," instead of "Yeah" or "Mmm-hmmm."\n\nRepeat a question before you answer it.  This helps to clarify that you understand a person's question before you answer the question.\n\nExample: \n\n**Other person says, "Do you have any clips?"\n\n**Then, you repeat their question to clarify, "Are you looking for paper clips?"\n\n**This will help them clarify, \n"Yes," \nor... \n"No, I'm looking for hair clips."\nor.. \n"No, I'm looking for CHIPS."\n\n\n\nUse phrases like "please" and "thank you."  This helps you to appear friendly and polite.\n\nIf you must put a person on hold, don't just say, "hold on," or "hang on," say:\n\n"May I put you on hold for a moment?" or\n"Can you hold, please?"\n\nSmile while you speak.  This can be heard in your voice, and people will be more patient with you if you sound happy.\n\nAllow the other person to stop speaking before you start speaking.  If you must interrupt, do so by saying, "Ma'am?" or "Sir?" before you start speaking over the other person.\n\nPractice a lot.  Speak on the phone as much as you can.  Also, when you have free time, try to listen to other people speaking on the phone, as long as they don't mind you doing so.  I've learned a lot about communication just by observing other people at work speaking with clients.\n\nIf you are still in need of better communication skills, I suggest taking a speech/communications class.  This can help in many situations, phone or otherwise.
