Mobile Manners – Cell Phone Etiquette Tips From Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach

Cell phones are all around us every day and they produce numerous experiences of obnoxious behaviors. And to make matters worse, there is an onslaught of new ways to use our cell phones. The annoying behaviors range from annoying ring tones interrupting movies, meetings, and other places to people talking loudly on their cell phones in meetings and public places. So where are the boundaries, the guidelines and the etiquette for cell phone use?

Here are ten (10) positive etiquette rules for cell phone users.
1. Put your cell phone, pager or other PDA device on mute or turn it off during meetings and public performances.
2. Select ring tones that you will not regret.
3. Speak softly rather than talking loudly.
4. Excuse yourself before talking a call.
5. Commit to not talking on your cell phone in elevators, libraries, museums, restaurants, theaters, places of worship, and other public places.
6. Use the hands free device if you must use your cell phone while in your car.
7. If there is a true emergency, take the call.
8. Keep your cell phone conversations private, rather than subjecting others to your conversations.
9. Keep calm and avoid displaying anger and becoming emotional during a call in a public place.
10. Follow the rules that restrict or prohibit cell phones in public places.
11. Respect the personal space of others by keeping 10 or more feet away from people when speaking on your cell phone.
12. Avoid interrupting a face-to-face conversation to take a cell phone call because it will show you do not believe the person is important to you.

It is essential to have good business manners at all times and that includes cell phone manners.

Re: Business Coaching Resources Re: Business Coaching Resources - You're fortunate when you can find a Business Coach who has experience beyond where you've been and even where you are going. When your budget is slim and even after, it's good to have a mentor. Several of various backgrounds are very useful. They can be teachers, professors, pastors, business people, family members, bosses and former bosses. You have to be clear on what you want and what you desire to achieve, be able to convey it as simply as possible. Stop and listen and don't over tax their time. You should always expect results whether from a Business Coach or Mentors. If you're not gtting results, you're either not focused or you need to upgrade the quality of your mentors/coaches. Always surround yourself by people smarter than you.
How do i answer the phone? How do i answer the phone? - I learned this technique from a successful businessman who earns over a million dollars a year. He just uses his name like this... Phone rings... " This is Dwayne..." It kind of throws people off who have a preplanned script and gets right into it. Phone rings... " This is Dwayne..." No Hello, no good morning/afternoon/evening Phone rings... "This is Dwayne..."
Re: The Mobile Marketing Re: The Mobile Marketing - Mobile Marketing involves communicating with the consumer via cellular (or mobile) device, either to send a simple marketing message, to introduce them to a new audience participation-based campaign or to allow them to visit a mobile website. Some of the tools of the trade and a few of the concepts that will be featured in this Mobile Marketing 101 series are: Multimedia Messaging Services (MMS) Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) Bluetooth, Wireless and Infrared Mobile Internet and Social Media Mobile Applications Mobile connectivity not only enables people to connect to the Internet via a cellular telephone, PDA or other gadget, but also consolidates the different communication channels in a simple, yet effective, medium. Cheaper than traditional means for both the consumer and the marketer - and easy enough for almost any age group to understand and engage with - Mobile Marketing really is a streamlined version of traditional eMarketing.
