Communication Barriers seemed to be the main causes of misunderstanding between the call center (sender) and the sales representatives (receiver). According to University of Phoenix Communicating in the workplace (2010), Gaps in communicating can arise from people being different, race, ethnicity, and even location. I think the fact that the call center is in another country becomes a barrier for the sales representatives and the potential clients. Also a sales representative does not have the ability to contact the call center directly. These cause problems in the communication process which causes many communication problems for

It is safe to say that everyone has or will encounter an occasion where they will experience a challenging communication interaction. Unfortunately, I had the opportunity to experience a few, with my most recent altercation involving an administrative assistant at an eye care center in Charlotte, NC. A week prior to experiencing my conflict, I called the eye care center to place an order for new contact lens. The customer service, via phone, was professional and polite. Purposely, I asked the administrative assistant would my contacts be ready for pick up for the following Thursday. I asked this question simply because I do not live in the area and I would only be able to pick up my order on that particular day. Politely and with much confidence,

Through the use of VOIP, or voice over Internet provider as a less expensive way for a business to have phone services, a call is made to create a relationship that could potentially provide additional opportunities. The salesperson acts as the sender with the purpose of selling his company’s products or services. The receiver should be the decision-making contact that had been collected while cold calling. The environment is more than likely a cubicle to personal office setting and depending on how the day of that decision maker is going will determine if the noise becomes too distracting. If the message is delivered successfully, hopefully that salesman will receive positive feedback.
Whenever you make a call you are your companies representative so it is always important to be as polite and as helpful as possible as this may in turn create more custom for your business.

The sales personnel used the possible information to tell about the services being offered by him & its usefulness to the client in the near future. Since, it was a sales call carried over phone non verbal communication techniques could not be observed. The language used by the sales person was a bit complex. The client asked for reconfirmations & clarifications in terms of the meaning of the words, etc. The sales person used the RATER Model to identify the needs of the customer (Martin, 2006). The needs of the customer were divided amongst various categories such as reliability, assurance, tangibles, empathy & responsiveness. There was an agreement amongst the salesperson & the customer.
