How do you answer the phone?

[ComputerClinic]

When you answer the phone, what do you say? What are the your first words when you pick up the phone? I say, "Computer Clinic, this is Jacob". I'm just wondering if maybe there's a better way to answer...

 

[NickCat11]

I just use my business name, "Catanoso Computing"

 

[ComputerClinic]

I answer the phone saying "Herrow Please?"

No but seriously I just say "michiana computers this is alex how can I help you."
simple

LMAO I don't think I'd know how to respond if a business answered the phone that way.

 

[noah]

I push the green button.

Thats how the pizza techs answer the phone. ;-)

Actually, I answer the phone "George Blake's Office may I help you?"

I do that because I run several non-profit associations with different names and two different companies, but I have only one phone line for all of them.

[tymiller]

A lot of clients call my cell phone, but if my cell rings, I just answer Hello. If someone calls my 800 number, I answer with my company name.

 

[Daifne]

I like to project a friendly and welcoming first impression. I answer "Hi, company name"

 

[Methical]

"Yo Yo sucka a$$ foo, what's the dealy-oh with yo computar son?"

When talkin' about payments; do you ask for a pizza and a case of beer when they drop off the computer ?

I'm suprised no-one does the Scary-Movie 'WASSSSSUUUUUUPPPPPPPP...."

 

[OfficerLahey]

'your on the mic whats yo beef?!'

...'good morning, tech force' all up-beat and positive like.. (replace morning with afternoon etc)

1A Computer Services, nobody else answers the phone EVER...

Same here. I was thinking about not saying my name but most people just ask for it right away anyways.

 

[noah]

(Loud Sigh) "What did you break now?"

 

[anonymous Mac Tech]

I answer the phone saying "Herrow Please?"

That's great! I'll have to borrow that to replace my crusty old answer "its your dime" seeing how pay phones are almost non existent these days.

 

[1aComputerServices]

Same here. I was thinking about not saying my name but most people just ask for it right away anyways.

I have a few aliases that I go by, I guess I could say my name is Cletus on Tuesdays. I also change my name to TAC at times.

 

[Doctor Micro]

We have two lines, one main line and one just for techs. On the main line, I answer "Good [Morning/Afternoon/Evening], this is Doctor Micro, how may I help you?"

If a caller somehow gets the technicians line and the technician answers it, the greeting is "Doctor Micro Technician's line, how may I direct your call?"

The voicemail answer on the technician's line is, "You have reached the Doctor Micro Technicians line. If you are calling about an appointment you have already scheduled, please stay on the line and leave a message. Otherwise, please hang up and call the main Doctor Micro number at (XXX) XXX-XXXX. Thank you"

 

[Kenhelms]

"Hello this is kenny"

I have a PABX system they have to go thru so they already know who they are calling.

 

[Xander]

Quick and simple:

"Housecalls. Xander speaking."

People never hear the gap between the S and X so they think I'm saying 'Andrew' but I let that go until they book or try using it more than once. I'd like to say "Housecalls. I am Xander" to clarify the sounds but think that might sound pretentious.
