plz tell me how to start a conversation on the phone other than the usual 'hello' ?

Answer 1

Hi Rene,

1.Hi, how are you,
2.good day,
3.Grand Central station-may I help you,
4.hi & hello-how are you today,
5.talk in a deep voice confuses the caller-when they say they have the wrong # then giggle & say it's me,
6.what's up-I personally don't like this one,
7.hi can I help you today,
8.hola (Spanish hello),
9.also any other language that you may know with hi,hello etc.
10.Hi let's go to breakfast, lunch or dinner-if you know the person,
11. hello you've reached the operator may I direct your call-a cute little giggle,
12.say nothing & let the other person talk 1st whatever they say (hi,
hello,good day,good morning etc.) then just use their greeting back at them,
13.Good morning,
14. If you have caller id & know the person you should insert there name (Rene) hi,hello,hola,good day, good morning,
15. speak it's your nickle-not the nicest one I've heard,
16.it's Rene then any of the above ones but I prefer the nicer one's myself.
Have a good day. :0)
Additional Details I make it a point to always say at the end of the conversation have a good day cause people appreciate the little things in life not to mention you are thinking of them.

Answer 2

There are many ways you can start a convo on the phone but Hello is usually the greetings part not exactly the conversation starter. But her are some suggestions 1.How's it going
2. how was your day
3. good morning,noon or night
3.or just the plain what are you doing and start to elaborate on what they say they are doing. then usually once you start to talk many different topics will come up from that one topic.

Answer 3

If it's not a business call, my brother always makes us laugh by singing a song instead of saying hello. Depending on who it is, he'll sing a song from your favorite movie to you or just something silly from a rap song like "Wipe me down!" It gets a smile from whoever is on the phone with him. If it's business it's always good to say, "good morning, good afternoon, or good evening," Sometimes people forget to say those.

Answer 4

greetings, salutations, good morning, good afternoon, good evening =)...Are you calling someone or answering? If I am answering, lately, I have been saying (if the number is unknown or blocked or 877 or 866 something) 'hello, who's calling?' I have been demanding in that area lately, lol! It's our phone, I have the right to ask and know. If they can't tell me, I don't have to talk, so, I hang up, lol!

Answer 5

I usually play the first few bars of the National Anthem on a harmonica.

Answer 6

Alexander Graham Bell tried to promote "Hoy-hoy" as the standard telephone greeting. If you are a fan of The Simpsons, you know that Mr. Burns uses the greeting "Ahoy-hoy as his standard phone greeting.

Answer 7

Hi,
Spell out ur name with the other persons name like :
speaking to friends : su here sam
parents : su here dad
to love : su here honey,

This creates a atmosphere of friendly love... then u can ask for hows u,

Answer 8

well first you say hello, and then it's courteous to ask "how are you". And then just say something like "I hope I didn't interrupt anything...but I was just calling to ask:if.......". If you're calling a friend then it could be anything from asking them over, asking them something about school or something you need to know (not personal or pointed stuff), telling them you're planning something and asking them if they would join in.

Answer 9

Hi: I hope my answer helps you:

Pick up the phone and say " This is (insert name here). How may I help you?/ May I know who is calling"

Good Luck
