Slide Three – Traditional Phone Trees

In section one we are going to cover Traditional Phone Trees, let’s get started!

Slide Four – What Is A Traditional Phone Tree?

You may be asking yourself, what is a traditional phone tree? Traditional phone trees have been around for ages and are used as a form of communication. Typically a phone tree will be set up to contact several individuals with a single message.

One person will be designated as the first person in the tree, let’s call them the tree trunk. They will be assigned two people to call with the message, we will call those two people the branches. From that point on, each of those two people will have two people they need to call and thus we have the origin of “Phone Tree”.

Slide Five – Who Uses Traditional Phone Trees?

Now that we know what a traditional phone tree is, let’s take a look at who uses them. While traditional phone trees are extremely outdated, there are still organizations and individuals that utilize this form of communication. Technology has come a long way since the first introduction of manual phone trees and it’s time that everyone makes the transition from traditional to automated – you will not be sorry!
