So?

WHENEVER, WHENEVER WHENEVER……DID I SAY ‘WHENEVER’ ENOUGH?...…possible – use a LAND LINE!!!!
Less Dropped CallsLess Background noiseClearer reception (both ways)
Thinking cont’d
Quiet Place is a mustMute the sound on your computerBe in a ‘distraction free’ mode
Change your phone settings to block incoming calls while on a callMute other sound technologyKeep your computer offDo research on the companyHave a list of questionsHave a note pad and at least 2 pens
Things cont’d
If possible – get a headset microphonePrevents hand cramping and unnecessary noise from shifting the phone
