Then I politely greeting a caller giving my name and company, then  asking how can I help, if the call is not for me I am taking message, writing the caller name and message. I always ending the conversation with a summary just in case I understand correctly every part of the conversation, then politely thanks for call with good bye and hang up.

We can create a positive image if we will deal with callers efficiently, which means we have to know exactly what we are doing and how to use phone system. I would create a positive image with positive attitude towards all customers. I would answer the phone with a smile and kindly greeting. I would also try to identify the callers and his needs, the I would deal with it with polite manners and I would try my best to help.
