问候与欢迎
标准开场白需简洁友好,

信息确认
关键信息需重复确认以避免误解:
- "Could you please spell your name for me?"
- "Let me confirm: Your appointment is at 2:30 PM on May 20th. Is that correct?"
问题处理
遇到突发情况时,保持礼貌并提供解决方案:
- "I apologize for the inconvenience. Let me check alternative options for you."
- "Would you prefer to reschedule or wait for the next available slot?"
预约场景的实用表达
