The COVID -19 crisis has banished us all to the home office — and inevitably made us participants in a mass on the subject of working at home with the right tone of voice. The companies are now slowly opening their doors again. That is why managers are currently grappling intensively with how work will change based on our experiences over the past few months. Now a different kind of competition is needed. A return to business as usual is not in the interests of companies and their employees. To be successful, companies must now be too much adaptable and able to react and adapt immediately to changing circumstances — now and in the future.
What A Radical Move Towards Home Business Really Means
When the pandemic hit our lives the hardest, we all moved to work from home and for a while many thought the home office worked pretty well. But after a few months in which we mainly interacted with video conference, the joy has clearly subsided. The vast majority — 90 %, depending on which study you cite — want to go back to work.
Keep Your Composure
Nervousness is part of the interview. Still, in order to make a good impression, it’s important to stay as relaxed as possible. Prepare yourself thoroughly in advance for the client so that you are prepared for any eventuality. Remember that the hiring manager or a client is also interested in a good outcome of the conversation.
Right Tone Of Voice
Confident Greeting
The first contact is the greeting. Our tips to score points here: Make eye contact and smile. Also try to find out the names of the people you are talking to in advance. So you can address them correctly.
Pay Attention To Your Body Language
Make sure you use positive body language. The right tone of voice plays a role as well as eye contact and your sitting posture. Try to convey honesty and professionalism in your body language. Speak clearly and with a certain competence and self confidence without appearing nervous. Remember that your behavior can contribute to the success or failure of the conversation as much as your skills and the experience you bring with you.
A Good Farewell
The farewell is just as crucial as the greeting. End the conversation with a firm smile and sincere thanks. After the conversation, write your conversation partner a friendly mail in which you thank for the pleasant conversation and for his / her time. In order to increase the effect, you can also use this mail to once again express your interest in the company.
