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

At times when we are working on the Help Desk we become unaware of the message we are sending to our customers. It is important that a friendly and professional image is conveyed to customers.  Due to certain factors our message may become more aggressive. We need to understand the message we are sending and how to maintain an assertive communication. This will ensure we maintain a customer sensitive culture.  In doing this we can then improve our effectiveness
