Why is it that whenever you end a conversation with a client or whatever, the goodbye part at the phone call almost always ends like this

Be the alpha and just say bye and hang up


That sounds like what happens when two betas are conversing

Because talking on the phone is awkward. One of the biggest things I've found in my first couple of years being a professional is awkward situations exist, and everyone has different ways of dealing with it.

I like to segue straight from the "Thanks" phase straight in to the "What are you wearing?" phase.

Either you suck at phone calls or the people you speak to do.

That's what minions are for, to screen my calls so I don't have to talk to anybody.

My calls do not end that way. Maybe you just have horrible communication skills.

End the damn call.
