business phone calls can feel a little nerve - wracking , especially given how much communication now happens digitally . Nothing can quite the sound of a human voice , however , and sometimes it's just more convenient to place a call . As long as you speak politely and naturally , can handle the basics . But to make the call as effective as possible , you need to identify its purpose before you pick up the phone , and keep this in mind while you .


Things You Should Know
Always bullet points beforehand for what you want to discuss during a call .
Start a call with friendly banter , but keep it short so you can quickly into the task at hand .
If you need to put a person on hold in order to additional info , always let that person know first .

Preparing for a Call

Step 1 the specific purpose of your call .
1
Identify the specific purpose of your call . Knowing exactly why you want to speak with someone will stop you from feeling nervous about bothering them or wasting their time , or even just rambling . Before you make the call , for a minute on its purpose , and jot it down . For instance , you might think : [ 1 ]
Do you need to get information ?
Do you want to sell something , or convince the person of an idea ?
Do you need to ask for the person's help or support ?
Step 2 Prepare bullet points for the things you need to mention .

Prepare bullet points for the things you need to mention . Having an agenda for what you want to talk about will help keep your call on track . [ 2 ] The " cheat sheet " can also help you feel more confident , since you won't what you need to mention . For instance , if you are calling to ask someone for a meeting , you might jot down : [ 3 ]
The purpose of the meeting .
When and where the meeting will take place .
What the person might need to do before the meeting .

Step 3 the person you need to call .
3
Research the person you need to call . This is especially important if you don't the caller personally . Find out what you can about them from colleagues , internet searches , social media profiles , etc . [ 4 ]
If you know a bit about the person's background , you can use this knowledge for chit - chatting at the start of the call . saying something like , " So you worked previously with Lanham Industries , right ? You must know Drew , then , right ? "
Researching the caller also you avoid faux pas . For example , if you find out the person has ties to one of your competitors , you'd make sure not to that competitor .
