Ways To Make A Good First Impression Over The Phone

Making a good first impression can be a daunting task for anyone. The same holds true even if it is over the phone! Below are some tips that can help you impress the person on the other end of the phone call.

Plan Ahead

It is always a good idea to plan ahead for an upcoming phone call. Set aside some time to think about what the goal of the call is. Ultimately, this will help prepare you for the call and give you the confidence you'll need to get your point across. 

Take Notes

When you are on the phone with someone, that person will not be able to see what you are doing. You can use this to your advantage by taking notes prior to the call. That way, you can look down at your notes during the call to keep the conversation on the right track. 

Practice Your Talking Points

Be sure to practice your talking points prior to making the call. This will allow you to sound knowledgeable in regards to the topic you will be discussing. Rehearsing the call ahead of time can also help you avoid any pitfalls you could encounter.
