WRONG NUMBER

Ask if there is anything you can do, express your regret and wish them good luck when they dial again.

You could also review the telephone number to see where they might have gone wrong.

I didn't know Real People answered telephones any more. Good for you.

When they say, Oh, wrong number, you cheerfully say, That's OK -- Have a nice day! and hang up.

Put a smile on your face even if you have to force it -- it comes through in the tone of your voice and I don't think people will be offended if you're nice about it.

Why not install the new school answerphone system...........
