Don't
you know how
to end a phone call in English to get along well
with
a customer or international
supplier?
Is
it hard to end a phone call without being rough in
English?
Sometimes a phone call in English arrives at the wrong
moment but we cannot
avoid answering it because
it can be someone from the Head office, an international
customer or supplier. The stress that
this call causes
us is our worst enemy.
I offer you four key
phrases to complete the call and get along well
with your interlocutor.
1. – Pause–
“Sorry Mr. Chen, I can’t talk now, as I have an important meeting
right now.
Can I call you on Wednesday at 4:00pm?”
2. –
Pause
– “I´m sorry Mr. Watson, I can’t talk now, because I have a
client waiting for me.
Can I call you on Thursday at 09:00am?”
3. –
Pause
– “Sorry Ms. Shah, I can’t take your call now, because I have an
urgent matter
to attend to. Can I call you on Tuesday at 10:00am or 11:00am?”
4. – Pause.
– “I´m sorry Ms. Sousa, I can’t take your call now, as I have
a client lunch.
Can I call you tomorrow at 5:00pm?”
That's
it! Practice makes Perfect!
