Construction Chat was started May 8, 2014, to build community among the construction-inclined.

This weekly chat is hosted by Riggins Construction Thursday mornings at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time.  We’d love you to join us, if you’re free next week.

(I put a reminder in my calendar. Otherwise, even I would forget.)

This week’s topic focused on Phone Skills based on my LinkedIn post.

I made some vine videos to demonstrate inflection but for the sake of convenience here is the Youtube montage:

Q1: Do you answer the phone for your work?
