Ive always found that men respond far more favourably to a happy, engaging phone operative... :)

Mei I do enjoy my work but it is also very tiring some days the phone and fax machine are relentless we are constantly chasing our tails but we always have time to make conversation with our customers no matter how busy we are. It is the rest of the work that suffers. I have worked out that if I did a 9 hour day instead of 8 (ok I mostly work an extra half hour anyway and am always being told to 'go home LiR') Or perhaps if we switched the phones off for the last hour. I just might get all my work done.

But as you say I am very lucky to have found a job that I enjoy so much

Cake I believe in answering the phone with a smile on my face. They might not see it but they will hear it. I am sure that when I first started this job I must have come across as very serious but now I am over the nerves and know what I am doing most of the time and when I don't I know enough to bluff it I am sure I must be coming across as cheerful which puts other people in a better mood even if they were cross when they started.

dj no I don't work as SMH and Raj was just a name I plucked out ot the ether. btw I have passed on your reply to my boss. You do realise that I work in sales which is not everyone's cup of tea, I certainly never thought it would be mine.
