豆知识 2010-08-29&09-04 如何礼貌地挂断电话

 So you're on the phone and you don't know how to hang up? Well, let me tell you some tips. 

 

 

Hi, I'm Hazely Lopez from Hazely Academy of Refinement¹ and Modeling. I'm going to tell you, how to get off the phone politely. 

 

 

Well, that's the key. Being polite, being nice, being mannered. You want to make sure that if you're on the phone, you may use different options. For example, try to tell the truth. Telling the truth is always good. If you're not necessarily open to tell the truth, you will do a slightly other comment. Like for example, I'll call you right back. I have the kids that are still busy. And if time comes up and you don't really call back. Don't worry about it, you could always tell them know. That it was just really crazy in the house. And you couldn't get back to them. 

 

 

 

Another way is to be firm on the phone. I need to get into a meeting. I need to go, I'll talk to you later. That's another thing to do. 

 

 

Also, get creative. And maybe tell them, can I call you back in 15 minutes? Can I call you back at another time? Something like that is also good to say. 

 

 

Another one that you may want to try to do, is if that person is a telemarketer, someone that's maybe harassing² or abusing you over the phone. You may want to give them a warning. And tell them, I'm going to hang up now. And that's your first warning. By the second warning, you may tell them the same thing. And by the third warning, you can just go ahead and hang up. 

 

 

 

Those are just special tips to be polite over the phone. Trying to do the best one in using your etiquette³. I'm Hazely Lopez with Hazely Academy of Refinement and Modeling. And this is how you get off the phone politely.
