Phone Smiles

I must, I must, I must do a better job of answering my telephone with a smile. I’ve noticed lately I am in a zone, working away, and my phone rings. I apparently answer it like I have this face:





With a really fast, “thisisbethanymayihelpyou” that does nothing but scare away my cohorts. How do I know this? I have been getting this type of answer, “um, hey, Bethany, it’s Cara, I’m sorry to bother you, but. . .”

Bother me? honey, you’re not bothering me. if you don’t need my help, as the trainer, of this bank, I’m a sinking ship. And these days, that’s absolutely positively not a good thing.

That's an awesome reminder - smile before picking up the phone. I'm like you - I'm busy at work and wear my emotions on my sleeve. hahaha.

Hey Bethany it's Courtney from MS. Love the blog! We enjoyed meeting you guys last weekend. Hopefully we'll get to hang out again either in ATL or MS. Take care!
