As we all know, telemarketers have been patched a bad reputation in their skins. People often hate them for being intrusive. Usually, as soon as people answer the phone and knew that a telemarketer is in the other line, hesitation fills them and more likely would hang up. If you’re a telemarketer, you may be able to divert all those negative perceptions that people have by following these proper telemarketing etiquette:
• Proper greeting makes a difference. Get back to the basic. Always greet with a smile even though you’re just in the phone. That would bring a positive effect. Be careful in pronunciation of the customers’ name for saying it wrong could sometimes alienate the call recipient.
• Have that friendly voice. Call recipients’ first impression would mainly depend on your tone of voice. Take a deep breath and put a wide smile on your lips before you speak. That will surely be taken over into your tone. Speak up clearly and project a professional image.
• Speaking Delivery. Always use a normal conversation pace while speaking. Make the call recipient feel comfortable speaking with you. Enunciate every word clearly and carefully for better understanding and to avoid customers’ frustrations.
• Respect, respect, respect. Treat people always with respect just like you want anybody to respect you. It’s a golden rule in telemarketing business. Be polite in every conversation. If the person on the other end yells and became abusive, stay calm and react as a true professional.

I appreciate good communicators from a call center when I need to inquire about the product that I am using. Though sometimes my questions are not answered completely, it makes the conversation a lot easier. Representatives should have good manners when taking a customer's call.
