留言 Taking Messages
没有人能保证24小时不关手机、8个小时都守在座机旁。而人工留言或语音信箱都能保证你在“第二时间”有效收到这些信息。时间就是金钱！（Time is money！）商务沟通中，丢掉的可能不只是一个简单的信息，而是大笔的利润。如下的注意事项和步骤将帮助你获取准确且及时的电话留言。
电话留言要素
●致电人的姓名；
●公司名称；
●致电人的电话号码和分机号；
●打入电话的日期和时间；
●希望在收到留言后的回应（回电话，等候第二次打入电话等）

您的号码是808-760-2394，分机号码是394，对吗？
做注明
如果需要越快越好（ASAP=as soon as possible）的回复，就应当在留言中注明。不要把留言随意地扔在他们的办公桌上（just dump it on their desk），而要放在醒目的地方。

用一分钟的时间和来电方确认记录的信息是否准确，拼写是否正确。
⊙Just to confirm.You’re calling about the auditing report, your number is 898-987-6768. You're calling from McKay Inc.and your name is J-U-D-Y, Judy, M-I-L-L-E-R, Miller.Is that correct?

签名
如果你是留言记录者，不妨在纸的下方签上你的名字。如果留言对象有什么疑问，可以来问你。
A：Marcy, did you take this message for me this morning?
B：Nope. It was Tony who took the message for you.Look, his name is right there at the bottom of the message. If you have any questions about it, don't ask me.Ask him！
A：马西，是你早上帮我记的这个留言吗？
B：不是，是托尼帮你留的。你看，在留言的末端有他的签名。如果你有什么问题，别问我，问他！
总结留言信息的准确性直接决定信息的有效性，尤其是关键信息，如回电号码和致电人的姓名。信息有误会直接导致联络失效，延误生意。所以应当给予重视。
