  • Speak clearly and at a moderate pace; accents and connections can affect clarity.

Business etiquette

  • Introduce yourself and confirm you've reached the right person.
  • Respect business hours and avoid calling outside 8 AM–6 PM local time.
  • Keep business calls professional and on-topic; save casual chat for personal calls.
  • If calling a French business, note that many close for lunch 12–2 PM.
