TELEPHONE ETIQUETTE

You may not have a lifeline…or phone a friend…or even take two wrong answers away…but you will enjoy taking this fun, simple quiz on customer service.

As we all know, it’s not rocket science, and of course, most of it is all common sense as they say. However, we all know too that common sense is NOT that common.

So have fun, enjoy the quiz…and good luck!

1. “How can I help you?” belongs:
a. In the initial greeting.
b. In the message taking scenario.
c. Nowhere. I’m not able to help anyone.

2. When I’m not able to help a customer, I should:
a. Tell them honestly and thank them for their business and hang up.
b. Give whatever information I can, right …show more content…

Correct answer is AB. Anything after your name…erases your name. And on initial greetings, your name is very important. You have answered the phone to help them. It’s a given. Those words are best used in a message taking scenario. Research show that one should greet, identify your company, tell them who they are speaking to and ask how you may assist/help them, e.g.

“Good day, this is Ster Kinekor, You are speaking with Mary. How may I help you?”

2. Correct answer is C. Be sure you let the customer know that help is on the way. That’s the most important part.

3. Correct answer is B. We need to leave our troubles at the door. Arguments with a spouse or a bad hair day are your problem. Telephone Doctor calls that ‘emotional leakage’. That’s getting angry at Peter and taking it out on Paul. Not fair, not right, and no fun.

4. Correct answer is C. No gum at work – ever. End of subject. If you have bad breath – use mouthwash.

5. Correct answer is B. The old Telephone Doctor adage…’smile BEFORE you pick up the phone’ is the way to make every phone call, or customer contact, a great one. Remember, it’s hard to be rude when you’re

    Option 1- Forced Ranking Is the staff of your organization rated above average on performance appraisal systems? If not, the organization could be missing out on a proven business asset.

Various appraisal formats are available for management’s use in identifying top performers such as the absolute, relative, and outcome formats among others.

    Interestingly, social function was the most frequently selected domain with pain intensity, although participants did not consider social health as an important area as physical health, which was obviously supported by the results of the open-ended question and PROMIS cards parts of the interview. Social function was merged from two PROMIS domains; “ability to participate in social roles and activities” and “satisfaction with social roles and activities”. These two domains were combined because the participants had difficulty differentiating between them and therefore they only selected one of them during the interview. A systematic review showed that the social component of life was important for individuals with LBP 55. In addition, WHO reported that LBP affects the work performance among individuals with LBP and it considered a leading cause of work absence and loss 53.

    Introduction Over the course of the entire Spring semester, Triad I proved to be a worthy opponent with the various integrated assignments completed. Through the integration, it can be more simplistic as a grade for one assignment counts in more than one class. It is quite possible the only reasoning as to why these assignments seemed so difficult is through my mind wreaking havoc, having me believe these will be assignments I would never find myself completing. Yet, once I took the time to process what I would have to do, depending on the assignment, along with the support of my triad I professors, completion seemed doable.

    These five tasks, in their development stage provided different levels of difficulty. Surprisingly, I found writing the economics and business activity the easier of the tasks to write up, part of the reason for this is because I thought about an activity that would not only, assist me in learning about those concepts but that would also keep me interested. The rest of the activities developed quickly in my mind and I think that is largely because I have a ‘humanities’ brain and these activities reminded me of the tasks I participated in at school myself. The integrated history and geography activity proved to be the most difficult, I knew I wanted to have an activity directly related to the Cross Curricular Priorities, more specifically Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander peoples but developing an activity surrounding this was almost like adding extra pressure. As a future teacher you want to improve the way history and societal views of Aboriginal and Torres Strait islanders is being taught, to provide a better foundation of study for students.

    1. Collective decision making, such as determining the level of public goods, differs from standard decision making within a household in two important ways. First, there is a problem of eliciting preferences. If the amount that individuals have to pay depends on their statements, they may tend to understate their true preferences. If the amount that individuals have to pay does not depend at all on their statements, they may tend to overstate their true preferences.

    Therapists must access their own internal process such as their feelings, attitudes and moods. Therapists’, who are not receptive to the awareness of their flow of thoughts and feelings, will not be able to help clients be aware of theirs (Kahn, 1997, p. 40). Though congruence does not mean that therapists have to share personal issues with clients, a therapist must not conceal their inner process from the client, and not be defensive but transparent (Kahn, 1997, p. 41). By being open sometimes a therapist learns more not only about their client but about themselves
