An incoming phone call to your business is often a customer’s first point of contact with your organisation, and it’s during these interactions that customers form instant and lasting impressions of you, your colleagues and your business. That’s why how well you communicate over the telephone, and the level of service the customer feels he or she is receiving goes a long way to helping you manage your customer’s expectations on the phone.
