Debbie
This is also my first time... I'm not sure what this is all about???

Maureen Sharib
This is an interactive classroom "chat" about phone sourcing. Animal’s being silly.

JC
Hi Maureen -- got a question about what you say when the gatekeeper asks, "And what is this in regards to"? Thanks

Maureen Sharib
Tell us JC, in your own words, what you say to the Gatekeeper when she answers.

JC
I usually say, "This is actually a confidential call and I'll need to speak with so-and-so directly, is he/she available?"

Maureen Sharib
JC, Your troubles started earlier than that. When she FIRST answered what did you say??

JC
I usually get sent into voicemail or told that they're not available. Occasionally I get through. Just feels like I'm using an "ethically-challenged" entry strategy.
