We have to remember that every time that we deal with communications, especially with the phone calls, either cell phones or the phones are your office, we have to be very pleasant and always try to answer the phone with a smile in your face. When you have a smile in your face, the call can be perceived as just pleasant. For example, when you answer the phone at the business, the business office, or your cell phone, you should have a smile on your face, you should say something like, "Good morning, this is Gabi Garzon from G.G. Image & Etiquette Consulting. How may I help you?"
