Spoken english: How to introduce myself on the phone?

Hello,

I am wondering one because we never had any class speaking about that at uni...

Let's say, I have to call a company and I want to introduce myself and ask to speak to someone, is the following text correct? Or is there specific expression to use?

Good Morning/afternoon,
Ludovic *** from COMPANY NAME,
I'd like to speak to Mr YYYY

Thanks in advance
Ludo

' Always speak slowly. You must remember that the person who answers the phone may have had his/her attention on something else when he/she answered. I have been doing it this way for years and have never had any problems.

  • The slower and more distinct you speak the less often you are asked to repeat your request.
  • I hope that helps.

I'd wait with bated breath, Hotwombat. The other might have the other party diving for cover or suggesting some Listerine.
