What Is Phone Etiquette?
Phone etiquette doesn’t mean using perfect phrases or speaking in an overly formal tone. Instead, its focus is creating a positive, professional experience for every caller—especially when the receptionist isn’t physically in the office. For virtual receptionists, phone etiquette bridges your business and your customers. And for companies that use a virtual receptionist service, it’s not just about having calls answered—it’s about handling them with care, clarity, and credibility.
