Article Abstract:

However, the sharp rise in the number of telephone calls being made means that in many cases people cannot speak directly to the person they are trying to call. It is becoming increasingly common for companies to train their staff in telephone technique, but this does not prevent callers from becoming very frustrated, especially when they are put through to an automated switchboard or a voicemail facility.
