Explanation: If you need to transfer a call, make sure you know the proper procedure. In many cases, this involves putting the person on hold so you’re able to dial another’s extension. You’ll have two people on the line for a moment. Make sure the person you’re talking to knows that you’re transferring the call and to whom he or she is being transferred. You should do this before you put that person on hold. Again, give the person on your phone the extension of the person to whom you’re transferring, in case the person is disconnected. Then, let the person in your firm know that you’re transferring the individual. "PF"
