La gente esta ocupada. When you telephone people, they often aren’t there to take your call, so you need to leave a message. And almost everyone has to answer the telephone and take a message sometimes. Doing so professionally leaves a good impression on your customers, colleagues and boss.
Today we will hear a bad example and a good example of taking and leaving a telephone message.
