Talk to a teammate first, then hand the caller over

Brief your teammate while the caller waits, so nobody has to repeat themselves.

1Pick Talk first

On a connected call press Transfer (or T). Each free teammate has Talk first (1) and Transfer now (2). Talk first is the blue one.
The Transfer list: Talk first (1) and Transfer now (2) on a free teammate

2The caller holds while your teammate rings

The card says who is ringing (1) and how long the caller has been on hold, hearing music (2). Your teammate hears who the call is from and presses 1 to take it. Changed your mind? Back to the caller (3).
Calling the teammate (1), the caller on hold with the time (2), Back to the caller (3)

3Talk, then choose

Once your teammate is on, brief them. Then Bring the caller in (1) to put all three of you on the line, Hand over (2) to leave them talking, or Back to the caller (3) to drop your teammate.
Talking to the teammate: Bring in (1), Hand over (2), Back to the caller (3)

4Nobody answered

If your teammate does not answer, the caller is still on hold. Go Back to the caller (1), or Try someone else (2) to pick the next free teammate.
The teammate did not answer: Back to the caller (1), Try someone else (2)

5Handed over

After Hand over the card says who has the caller now (1). Your part of the call ends there, and the after-call card lets you log it as usual.

Common questions

Talk first is missing

It works on SkedX Call lines. On a line from another calling provider only Transfer now is offered. If Transfer itself is missing, nobody on your team is free right now.

What does the caller hear while I talk to my teammate?

Hold music. They cannot hear you or your teammate until you bring them in or hand over.

What if the caller hangs up while on hold?

The card says so, and you stay on the line with your teammate.

Does my teammate know who is calling?

Yes. Before joining they hear who the transfer is from and who the caller is, and press 1 to take it, so a voicemail never picks up your caller.

Is the call still recorded?

If your company records calls, the recording carries on through the transfer.
