“Smile when you answer the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice.” (Unknown) Can you imagine a job as a telephone solicitor? (I hang up) Yesterday I decided to answer every sales call with a smile and try to have a brief pleasant conversation. Mixed results, but I hope it broke someone’s boredom. (robos weren’t interested) At times, jobs can drag and be boring. A smile and a kind greeting might cause the movie line, Make my day!, come alive. ;-) Jack
FROM GOOD DEBT JON: It works===JACK: I can imagine that Jesus smiled at people.
FROM ST PAUL IN ST PAUL: when Clint Eastwood said, "go ahead and make my day", it usually meant he was about to shoot someone!:):):) that line was used in several Dirty Harry movies as i recall. ===JACK: I think that what I was trying to do is called, juxtaposition.===PAUL: i always thought that was kind of cool word!
FROM BB IB CHGO: Aren’t you something? Hooray for the “college try” in answering the phones – all of them – with a smile. We attended a concert at Ravinia on Wednesday which was a celebration of Charlie Chaplin’s music and his famous, “Smile” which was always one of my father’s favorite tunes. The whole performance made me smile.===JACK: Chaplin was very talented, more than he's usually given credit for. "Smile" is one of my all-time favorites, too.
FROM TAMPA SHIRL: I only answer when I know the person calling! The name comes up on the tv or on the phone! It just makes life easier!===JACK: Telemarketing is someone's job. My grandson was once a "cold caller."
from outhouse judy: My
granddaughter recited a sign for me I have on my mantel. I didn’t even
know she saw it! It reads “One smile can change the world.” I
believe it. Ps we have been camping.===jJACK: Might I suggest that you put a picture of her smiling next to that sign.
