Hey. It's a rhetorical question. Dont tell me about your prostate or diarrhea when I'm doing a call and I ask how ya doing as I introduce myself. |

Did you hear the bank on the corner is offering a hundred dollars if you go in there and they don't greet you with a hello? |

How about moving this thread to a section where it won't be seen? |

When asked this question I respond with a simple "hello". Then I start talking about the reason for the conversation. |

If you're not looking to start a convo but want to avoid getting to the point immediately then don't ask a question. A simple "hey, nice to see you, how can I help" will suffice. I'm not gonna tell you my life story if you ask how I'm doing, but if someone else does then that's on you for asking the question. Not on them. |

Well it's kinda my way of saying "why did you call for service?" |

Any call I make or answer is someone who is already pissed off. Sadly, no one ever calls me to say how happy they were with us. So if I ever say "hi, how are you?", it's always met with "well, I was pretty good until you guys came out here and fucked me over." So I just skip that part and try to see if there's a solution to whatever their issue is without getting into a 20-minute recap of the whole story. |

Plenty of people have suggested the following: "how can I help you?"

Then stop asking a question you don't want answered.... Worse, is having having the saying thrown back at you. Doesn't matter if it "How you doin" "Thank you" "What's up" etc. When I ask what's up, don't tell me what's up!! ITS THE WORST !!!! |

No, I was just asking if you needed help with anything. |

Talking on the phone in general is on par with being waterboarded. The only thing I think about the whole time is how to get off the phone. |

I mean you gotta try to get some kind of friendly report with people you're gonna sock with $1000 worth of repairs or replacements. I try to be like "how we doing?" Or "so what do we have going on here?" Expecting to hear "well my furnace is making a weird noise" or "the air is coming on but it's not cold" which I get 90% of the time but dude I'm clearly asking about your heat not your hemorrhoids. |
