How can I talk to my uncle when he is not at home?

Tell the truth, of course. For example, hello uncle. Dad is not at home now. Can you tell him when he gets home?

You should ask politely, "Is it convenient to talk now?" ? Consider each other's time. Generally speaking, it is better to call home after dinner or in the afternoon on rest days, and it is better to call the office around 10 in the morning or after work in the afternoon, because these hours are more free and suitable for business talks.

Telephone etiquette:

It's best to follow the principle of "three rings without ringing" when answering the phone. Answer the phone twice, don't delay. Pick up the receiver and say "hello" first. If the phone rings four times, you should say to the other party when you pick up the receiver, "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting", which is a polite expression and can eliminate the unhappiness of waiting.

If the phone content is important, make a phone record, including company name, caller's name, conversation content, date, period, other party's phone number, etc.
