If you’ve heard about Skype–and who hasn’t with all the recent media attention devoted to internet telephone services–chances are you’ve been mighty tempted to try it out. Skype Hacks tells you what all the Skype hype is about, explains the basics, and shows you more than 100 clever tips and tricks for tweaking and tuning Skype to make it do just what you want and more.
Millions of people (48 million and counting, in fact) have opted for Skype, which uses peer-to-peer (P2P) technology to turn any PC, Mac, or Pocket PC into a telephone. Skype offers free calls between computers and extremely cheap calls to “old-fashioned” phone numbers (landlines and mobile phones). The sound quality is excellent, and end-to-end encryption means the connection is private and secure.
But if you really know what you’re doing, Skype can accomplish a whole lot more than that. Software developer and author Andrew Sheppard recently converted his entire house to Skype and uses it for all his personal and business calls, even when he’s traveling. In Skype Hacks, he shows you how to do things with the technology that even the engineers at Skype probably never intended.
Skype Hacks shows you how to:
- Get started with Skype
- Figure out how much money you’re saving and maximize your savings
- Cut the ties to your old phone company
- Optimize your Skype configuration
- Integrate Skype with desktop tools like Microsoft Office and your web browser
- Set up a Skype-based call center
The book offers ideas for creating and organizing a contacts list, using Skype to transfer files, taking advantage of chat and voicemail capabilities, turning a PDA into a mobile phone, and automating Skype for even greater efficiency. So whether you’d simply like to give Skype a trial run, you want new Skype ring tones and fun on-hold music, or you’re considering wiring your home with Skype to get rid of “regular” phone service altogether, Skype Hacks is your ideal guide.

I am a scheduling coordinator and I am very new to the game. I am doing a horrible job right now and I really want to better. I’m working for a really nice little family owned company who knows my dad, loves me and pays me a ridiculously high $12 plus $75 commission on any appointment I set that results in a sale. I do not want to get fired! I got zero appointments last week and zero again today! I don’t know what I am doing wrong. I am far from an expert at this and there’s basically no training program here and no real system even set up for how exactly to do this whole operation. What I’m trying to do is set appointments for a VOIP telecom company. I’m calling business to business. I know nothing about getting past the gatekeeper. My only method is to pretend that I have spoken with the decision maker previously and he has asked me to call back. I have a few good rebuttals for when I actually get to talk to a decision maker, but I rarely get far enough to use them.
I guess the things I need the most help with are getting past the gatekeeper and maybe some tips for leaving answering machine messages, because I currently never leave a message and I feel like it might help sometimes if I did. I also am not working off of the greatest script, but our whole team is trying to write up a better one right now. The opening is the most important part of the script, and I think that is the part where we’ve been the most lacking so far.
I know there are tons of people who can help on this one! I’m so inexperienced that I barely know what to ask. Just help me out with some of your best tips if you can, please!
