Tips for Success• To place a call off campus:
– Dial 9– Dial 1– Enter area code– Enter remaining digits
• Don’t feel flustered if you don’t know the answer to a question! – Often times, directing customers to online resources (union.geneseo.edu OR
geneseo.edu) will help resolve this issue.
• If you need to ask Cheryl or a Manager about how to respond to a caller, please put them on hold first. – This option is available when line is in use (see previous slides*)
• Confidence is key but cannot replace phone procedure knowledge
