Call Back Phone Etiquette. Who Calls Who Back?

If I'm on a land line I'll wait for the cell phone to call me back.  If I am on a cell calling a land line, I'll call back when I'm in a place with a strong enough signal.  If I'm talking to another cell I'll just keep trying back every 30 seconds or so. If I am unable to reach them after 2 or 3 tries I'll leave a message on their voice mail.

It is very rude. That is one of my biggest pet peeves - People talking to other people while I'm on the phone with them. My Fiance does that all the time and it drives me up the wall!!!

Are you asking how we answer the phone?  In America, we pick up the phone and say, "Hello."\n\nI am answering in this way because when I was in Mexico they didn't answer the phone by saying, "Hola," but, "Bueno."  I think in Spain they might say, "diga," as in the command, "talk."  I'm just guessing you might be in America as an English as a second language person.

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.

i have recieved a number of these calls from people with various accents. They are crazy. Get them off the phone quickly(and have a little fun) by asking them a few questions--"exactly what branch of the government are you calling from?" --"from what department and who heads it?"\nSay, "I know that all communication from the U.S. government can be varied.  May I have your name?"

Just ask for them, direct approach is always the best approach. Always impose on your calls, don't be rude ok.

~Wait for them to get in touch with you.  That's what the "Do Not Call" movement is all about.  What is it about your ego that makes you think those people want to hear from you?

Telemarketers do not actually dial the phone calls.  They sit at a desk and wait to be alerted that they are being connected to a call through their call system.  It would be a waste of time for telemarketers to wait on the line for someone to answer the phone because there could be no answer or they could get your voicemail.  Your voice actually triggers the connection.  They do not hear you say hello because they have not been connected to you yet.
