Politeness goes a long way when it comes to telephones. Personally, I hate being put "on hold" but realize that it will happen. If there is any way you can avoid putting others on hold, do it. If we are put on hold, we must just accept graciously with a, "no problem."

I also feel that it is imperative to identify yourself, When we do reach a live person, I suggest always checking to make sure the time is opportune for them. It usually is if they answered, but they may say, "Yes, but I only have a few minutes before I need to leave for a meeting." Be sure to honor this request, and if you have more to say than can be said in a few minutes, it is better to ask what would be a better time to call back and set a phone date on your calendar.

Recently I facilitated a strategic planning day with one of my clients. During the course of the day we reviewed the progress they had made since the last major planning day we had the year before.

“I didn’t have 3000 pairs of shoes. I had only 1600 pairs.” Imelda Marcos Everything’s relative. A million dollars sounds like a lot of money to someone who makes an average salary, but it’s a drop in the bucket to a Warren Buffett or a Bill Gates.
