One
problem that often occurs is speaking fast when giving your name and
telephone number as you leave a voice mail message. You as the speaker
know your information, and you say it quickly. Speakers forget that it
takes longer to write it down than to say it. To be more professional
about it, write your telephone number or spell your name in the air as
you say it slowly on the phone message. This is the speed that the
listener needs. As a benefit, you may get more calls returned!) Then
repeat your number at the end of the message, at a slightly faster pace.
When meeting someone new, it may be hard to remember the other person's name. When you hear it for the first time, think about it
and try to use the name in the first sentence, as in "It's great to
meet you, Pat!"
When you end
the conversation, use the other person's name again. This may help you
to recall the name when you see the person again.
