Let’s be real—phone calls can get awkward fast 😅. But I’ve picked up a few tricks to make every call smoother (and less cringe-worthy!). Here’s what I do: • I always mute the TV before dialing—background noise is the worst! 🙈 • If I’m calling someone new, I introduce myself right away. No guessing games! • I ask if it’s a good time to chat before launching into my reason for calling. • I keep it clear and simple—state why I’m calling early on. • If I get voicemail, I leave a quick, friendly message (and don’t ramble!). • When answering, I greet with a smile—even if they can’t see it, they can hear it! • For work calls, I use the company greeting. For friends, a casual “Hey!” works. • I listen first, then respond—no interrupting! • I always thank them before hanging up. It’s just polite ❤️ Seriously, these little habits make calls WAY less stressful. Try ‘em next time! #PhoneEtiquette #CommunicationTips #LifeSkills #Education
