Ensuring that a friendly and professional image is conveyed to customers. Ensuring that you communicate effectively on the telephone is essential. We need to use our voice - our only means of communication – to best effect. We need to understand how body language and facial expression affect the way we sound on the telephone.

At times when we are working we become unaware of the message we are sending. It is important that a friendly and professional image is conveyed.  Due to certain factors our message may become more aggressive.
