Calling tips

Test your internet connection or phone network before placing important calls.
Use a headset or speakerphone to reduce background noise and improve clarity.

Keep calls brief if network quality is poor; reconnect if the line drops rather than trying to push through.
Call during daylight hours in Sri Lanka when network congestion is typically lower.

Business etiquette

Confirm a mutually convenient time in advance, especially across time zones.
Address contacts formally by title and surname unless a relationship is established.
Allow time for pleasantries before diving into business; rushing can seem dismissive.
Be mindful of Sri Lankan holidays and observances when scheduling calls.
Follow up important conversations with a brief email summarizing key points.
