818306
When I am in a meeting I delegate another person ( not in the meeting) to handle any urgent phone calls\nmy cell phone is OFF when I am in a meeting\nI consider taking phone calls during a meeting  rude  behaviour and a insult to all those in the meeting

Phones?\n\nComputers, with a good contact management system on it.  Possibly, you could even use a predictive dialing system.\n\nPhones would be a great place to start though.......

well that's is a very Important question, to have a professional style when using the phone, you should start by taking a deep breath just before removing the handle  of the phone (before answering),  if you are in business it is best  to say the name of the company in a confident natural voice, ( if u have had a bad day it is best to think of an achievement or a happy thought just before answering). 2nd step is to ask the caller '' how may I help you? '', if the person is asking about a product or service and u don't have past knowledge, it is best to answer '' Could you please hold on? '' ,  in the meantime you can ask anyone of your colleagues/ superiors/ office members- but you should be very care-full not to let the caller wait for long, bec it gives a very unprofessional impression that might effect future business but if it happens DON'T WORRY Just apologize for the delay...\n\nRemember if you smile even if you came out of a heated conversation the caller senses it \n\nBest of Luck....

Well do you work in an office?  Are you supposed to be on the phone at work?\n  I work in an office and just about all of my conversations the other people can hear.  I rarely make personal calls from work so it's not a big deal very often.  \n  If you have an office first thing to do is close the door.  If not and you are on more of an open area what you should do is to just tell them that it is just work stuff and really isn't important.\n  If it is personal stuff then that's another issue. When I got personal calls, I always kept them very short and to the point.  I never bring my cell phone to work, and alot of companys frown on people  who do.\n  Being on the other side of this, nothing annoyed me more than when I saw people at work chatting on their cell phones for 20 minutes at time to their wives, girlfriends, ect.  It's just not the time for that.  I have had employees wives call work 5-10 times a night on a constant basis because they had issues at home.  I have even taken it to a point where when they would call I had a conversation with the wife saying . "look James can't talk to you right now, and your constant calling is gonna get him in trouble very soon. Please stop calling here on a nightly basis."
