    CSR Answers Phone or Greets Customer

    Incoming Phone Call
    • Thank you for calling Northwest Custom Apparel, this is "your name" how can I help you?

    Walk-in
    • Get out of your desk and greet the customer. 
    • Hi, I am your name how can I help you.

    Note
    The customer may go right into what they are looking for without taking a breath of air. This is where you need to slow them down and gather their info and direct them to the proper sales rep.
