Best Practices for Screening Calls

 

Learn techniques for screening out unwelcome callers and ensuring that valued clients are speaking to the most appropriate individual.

Phone calls are just another part of the job for the assistant/gatekeeper. Learning how to screen phone calls without offending the caller is a critical skill when we are trying to protect our executive's precious free time. This topic will help you to better incorporate general business phone etiquette into your conversations while also practicing techniques for screening out unwelcome callers and ensuring that valued clients are speaking to the most appropriate individual to address their needs. We'll also cover the common limitations and issues that can arise with phone calls, from feeling like we might need to lie to cover for a boss who is not returning calls to handling irate callers. This information will help you feel inspired to rise to this challenge with new tools in your arsenal.
