Determine your relationship. The first step depends on whether you have met the person you will be speaking with in person before or not. If you have not, act mature and be friendly. Stick to the point of the phone call in case the person may have plans.

    Speak clearly; not too loud or not too quiet. Use proper grammar and language. Use slang only when communicating with peers or those you know would accept it in the right way.

  3. Maturity is very important in handling calls, and the caller loves being welcome well on phone because the introduction will determine whether the purpose of the phone call will be achieved or not. So take note.
