商务英语播客 第54课:电话上处理问题(上)

This is the first in a two-part Business English Pod lesson on dealing with telephone inquiries.
这是2节商务播客中的第1节，将涉及电话上处理客户的问题。

It’s natural to feel a little nervous when answering questions on the phone, especially when you’re using a different language. You can’t see the other person, so you can’t interpret facial expressions and body language. You also need to listen more carefully, so you can help the caller quickly and efficiently.
接电话回答问题有些紧张是很正常的。尤其是当你使用另种不同的语言时。你看不见对方，所以你无法明白对方的面部表情和体态语。你需要更加自信地倾听，以便来快速而有效地帮助打电话的人。

Today, we’ll look at some common strategies that can make handling telephone inquiries a little easier. We’ll start with ways to answer the phone and identify yourself. We’ll also explain language you can use to verify a caller’s name, confirm something a caller says, and clarify the inquiry by restating it.
