Departments and teams are typically organized by function – customer service, tech support, sales, billing questions, etc. When a team is busy handling other calls, encourage your callers to leave a message and reassure them that you will get back to them within a reasonable time frame.

Several users are getting the “com.apple.mobilephone error 1035” error on their visual voicemail whenever they try updating or setting up their visual voicemail greetings. Visual voicemail lets you view your voicemail message that you receive. Voicemail greeting is the message that callers will hear before they are offered the opportunity to leave you a message. However, this error will prevent users from setting up their greetings. The full error message will be “The operation couldn’t be completed (com.apple.mobilephone error 1035)“.
Finding a quiet place with good reception where you won’t be interrupted ensures that when you speak, you will be clearly heard; it also removes background noises from the equation, entirely.

People tend to remember the first and last events of the day. Now, you could make your sales calls in the morning, but nobody wants something else on their plate when they’re just starting their workday. By waiting until the end of the workday, though – traditionally, around 4:30 p.m. – you won’t be competing with other distractions, and you’ll be one of the last things that happened to the contact while they were at work.
