Telephone Etiquette • BE ALERT - Show you are wide awake and willing to help the person calling. • BE FRIENDLY - Put a smile in your voice. • SPEAK DISTINCTLY - Use your natural voice. Pronounce words clearly, paying particular attention to word endings and numbers. • BE EXPRESSIVE - Let the caller know that their call is important. Use a moderate rate and volume of speech and avoid a monotone delivery; no one wants to feel like they are speaking to a computer. • BE CONSIDERATE - DO NOT try to carry on two conversations at once. A caller should not feel he/she is competing for your attention. • BE COURTEOUS - Use common courtesy words such as, "Thank you", "Please" and "You're Welcome". Remember your telephone is the doorway to the University of Miami. Callers will judge the U of M by the welcome they receive and the helpfulness of your telephone attitude.
