Anna Connelly, Anna Connelly.
About this episode

Do you get a pit (like a bad feeling) in your stomach when you see a British number calling your work phone? You're not alone. In this is an interactive episode where you will do two mini roleplay scenarios to practice these 3 key phrases to make sure that you have a confident start to your business phonecall in English. 

  1. Hello, (your name) speaking. Can I ask who's calling?
  2. Can I ask what it's regarding?
  3. How can I help?

P.S I think I talk quite fast in this one which is good challenge for you. In case you need it, I've included a transcript here
