The new phone screen…

Max Effgen, July 7, 2009

More than ever the phone screen is making deep dives into questions typically reserved for the interview. In reality there is really no difference between a phone screen and a sales call. Present yourself in lieu of a product and land the face-to-face. Here are some tips that help me present over the phone:

  • Look in the mirror. You will have a more conversational tone if you can see your own face.
  • Talk with emotion. Stand up. Walk around. Your activity will help you be expressive and “up”.
  • Let the interviewer finish the question. Repeat the question. Know when to stop.
  • Be deliberate in your words and slow down.

Being prepared is the best luck.
