Answer Promptly: Try to answer on the first ring if possible.

Pay particular attention to word endings. Be pleasant: show that you are interested in being helpful. Personalize your conversation by using the caller’s name Be courteous: good telephone habits are nothing more than good manners. Building confidence in yourself and THE CENTRAL PARK HOTEL starts with personal consideration for the caller. Do not treat every call as routine. Never leave a caller on hold: if the caller chooses to stay on the line be certain that you give progress report at every seconds to assure the caller that you are working on a request. Thank the caller for waiting. Show your appreciation for the caller’s patience. A phrase such as, “THANK YOU FOR HOLDING, MR SMITH” helps you smile over the telephone.

TELEPHONE ETIQUETTE Transfer calls only when necessary: handle the call yourself, if you can. Make certain that you know how to complete the transfer procedure successfully. Inform the caller of the new party with whom they are being connected. Use the release button when releasing the call. Be discreet: be careful not to create the wrong impression with statements such as “He /she is still on their coffee break” or “I do not think hi/she has come in yet”. When a person is not available to answer a call, an appropriate response would be “I am sorry, he/she is away from their desk right now, may I take a message?” Always know where your people are: when you expect their return and or where they can be reached. Be prepared to take message: be through when you take a message. Include the caller’s name, phone number, the caller’s firm or department, the date and time of the message, the message (if the caller chooses to leave one) and your name. Do not screen calls: if the party is in, forward the call immediately. Do not ask, “Who is calling?” Use the caller’s name: there is no sweeter music to a person’s ear than the sound of his or her own name. When placing a call, always allow one minute for the party to answer: Ten rings are equivalent to one minute. Take time for a good closing: always give the third step of service. Let the caller hang up first, then replace the handset gently.

TELEPHONE ETIQUETTE

VERBIAGE. “Smile – we are on stage.” Always maintain positive eye contact. Use the proper vocabulary with our guests and each other. (Use words such as—“Good Morning,” “certainly,” “I‘ll be happy to” and “My pleasure.” Do not use words such as –“O.K.,” “sure,” “hi/hello,” “folks,” and “no problem.”) “We pledge to provide the finest personal service and facilities to our guests, who will always enjoy a warm, relaxed yet refined ambiance”, we want to be warm, friendly, outgoing, helpful, accommodating and relaxed with our guests; however, we also want to be refines, or “polished”. The style of our service is reflected in how we interact with our guests. The manner in which we speak and the choice of appropriate phrases and words we use will convey THE CENTRAL PARK HOTEL STYLE (refined and professional) in the service we provide. All it takes is a little practice! Below are some suggestions for developing consistent verbal etiquette in our dealing with our guests and fellow employees.
