Talking with a customer on the phone can often be a difficult task. Without seeing an individual’s face, messages can become muddled and meanings misinterpreted.
To improve your telephone communication skills, be sure to master the following tips:
When the phone rings, are you annoyed at the interruption? The way you and your employees answer the phone sets the stage for your customers' experience with you. Here are five tips for ensuring your phone skills give a good impression.
I have to admit I really don't like the telephone. Maybe it is because it is an interruption in an already "overscheduled" world. Even if it is someone I really want to talk to, it sometimes feels like a chore "to be nice"! With the amount of spam phone calls I still seem to receive, even after being on the "Do not call list", I must admit I make assumptions when I pick up the phone. If there is a nano-second of a pause when I pick up the phone, I immediately assume I am on someone's computer list just waiting to pounce if they here a real person on the other end of the phone.
1. Adopt a Positive Tone
Projecting an enthusiastic, natural, and attentive tone while on the phone can help a customer feel comfortable during a conversation.
When you answer the phone, smile as you greet the person on the other line. Although it may be a bit of a cliché, a smile can truly be heard through the telephone. Smiling as soon as you connect with the customer will begin the interaction positively and create room for a productive and friendly exchange.
Also, be aware of your vocal qualities throughout the call. Control your rate of speech, your pitch, and your overall timbre. The average individual speaks at a pace of 130 to 150 words per minute. Match this rate while on the phone.
Anything faster will be difficult for the customer to understand while anything slower will give the impression that you are slow and lazy.
Try timing yourself in order to ensure that the rate at which you’re speaking falls into the 130 to 150 words per minute range. Keep the pitch of your voice in mind while you’re on the phone as well.
3. Be Sincere
Starting with the greeting, conversations over the phone must be sincere. Say hello and be genuine. Try to avoid scripted greetings as most sound artificial and inauthentic.
Include the company’s name, your name, and offer your assistance as soon as you answer the phone. If you’re receiving a transferred call or if you’re working on the switchboard, state the name of the department you are a part of in order to give the client the appropriate information. Doing this will ease the customer into the exchange and let he or she know that you are calm and ready to help.
Once you’re in the middle of the conversation, give the person on the other end of the line genuine answers. Be sure to word these in a positive manner, as you don’t want to inject any negativity into the exchange.
2. Clear Enunciation
The ability to understand what someone is saying on the phone separates a productive conversation from one filled with tension.
Whenever you are on the telephone, speak clearly. Enunciate and use simple words and phrases. Don’t employ overly complex vocabulary.
The last thing you want to do is confuse the customer on the line or make them feel inferior. Also, avoid slang and filler words. Saying things like “dude,” “yeah,” and “um” will detract from the quality of the interaction, making constructive problem solving harder to attain. If you have a tendency to use filler words such as “um” or “like.” practice taking a pause instead.
Chewing gum or eating during a conversation can also lead to mumbled speech so avoid both of these practices in order to optimize your customer service.
4. Use the Name
As soon as you receive a customer’s name, use it.
While you should use the customer’s name, don’t abuse it.
Include it naturally throughout the conversation. Also, don’t be afraid to ask them for the proper pronunciation. Most customers will appreciate this gesture. Get the spelling correct, too.
Callers will value the personal touch you provide with a name.
