COMMUNICATION ETIQUETTE
PHONE
BE AWARE OF YOUR SPEAKING VOLUME.
Some people just don’t know how loud they are, especially when their attention is focused on the person on the other line.
DON’T ANSWER YOUR PHONE WHEN MEETING WITH OTHERS.
If you answer a call, you’re basically telling the person you’re meeting that someone else is more deserving of your time than they are.
DON’T PLACE YOUR PHONE ON THE TABLE WHEN MEETING OTHERS.
Otherwise, it looks like you’re ready to drop them and connect with someone else.
LET THE OTHER PERSON KNOW WHEN YOU HAVE THEM ON SPEAKERPHONE.
If you must put someone on speakerphone, make sure you immediately let them know who else is in the room with you.
