I'm going to tell you, how to get off the phone politely. Well, that's the key. Being polite, being nice, being mannered. You want to make sure that if you're on the phone, you may use different options. For example, try to tell the truth. Telling the truth is always good. If you're not necessarily open to tell the truth. You may do a slightly other comment. Like for example, I'll cal you right back. I have kids that are still busy. And if time comes up and you don't really call back. Don't worry about it, you could always let them know. That it was just really crazy in the house. And you couldn't get back to them. Another way is to be firm on the phone. I need to get into a meeting. I need to go, I'll talk to you later. That's another thing to do. Also get creative. And maybe tell them, can I call you back in 15 minutes? Can I call you back at another time? Something like that is also good to say. Another one that you may want to try to do, is if that person is a telemarketer. Or someone that's maybe harassing or abusing you over the phone. You may want to give them a warning.
