Friday Five: Phones

  1. Do you like talking on the phone? Why or why not? Don’t like talking on the phone. There is something missing without seeig the person one is talking with. I have heard that 70% of communication is actually visual.
  2. Who is the last person you talked to on the phone? Brian with Rise Consulting. A monitor go tie die and needed warrenty information.
  3. About how many telephones do you have at home? 2
  4. Have you encountered anyone who has really bad phone manners? What happened? Yes, every telemarketer. I hand up.
  5. Would you rather pick up the phone and call someone or write them an e-mail or a letter? Why or why not? It all depends on the person.
