Phone Etiquette 009: Putting Calls On Hold
April 25, 2008
Always ask for the other party’s permission before placing them on hold. Leaving abruptly is rude and the person you are talking to most probably will drop the line.
A quick “Can I put you on hold for a second?” will do. Remember to say thank you before leaving the conversation.
