First impressions last: make every caller feel they are special.
Everyone in an organisation who picks up a telephone – virtually
everyone a company employs – becomes a company representative as soon as they
say “hello.” We take it for granted, and for the most part we neglect to put
ourselves in the caller’s shoes. What impression do your people make on the
phone?
This highly amusing drama stars Geoffrey Palmer and tracks the bemusement,
anger and frustration of a caller (Palmer) trying to make a single, simple
business call. A series of small but significant mistakes occur, which together
lead him to decide to cancel the deal he was initially trying to close.
The video shows the results of both correct and incorrect handling of calls.
It shows the impact that telephone manner has on the caller, and the effect this
in turn can have on business relationships and on profits.
The summary video includes narrated sequences that highlight the training
points raised in the main video, reinforcing the simple rules of good telephone
technique. It explains that every call an individual takes is their call. They
have a responsibility to communicate the right impression of themselves and the
company.
