If it’s an internal extension I say “Hey this is James.”

If it’s from an outside number I say “Thanks for calling Twitter this is James.”

Hello.

Sometimes I announce my company. Keep in mind this is customers calling my cell. When I answer the office phone I almost always announce the company.

Anytime I answer the phone and I don’t know the number I say:

quote:

"This is John"


If I know who it is I’ll say something like, “Hey, what’s up?”

This. Drives me insane when I call a business and I don’t know who I’m talking to. I feel like people get offended when I ask who I am speaking with.

I answer with hello, and I've noticed that almost every caller's first words are "is this John"? or "John?"

That’s an odd way to answer the phone. “Hello, and I’ve noticed that almost every caller’s first words are is this John or John” just seems a bit confusing. Do you follow that up with, “this is John, how may I assist you today”?
