Be friendly - tone of voice tells a lot.
If you answer the phone with a " Hello" or "Moshi moshi" , you may notice some confusion or hesitation in the callers voice as they may be waiting for a greeting closer to that of an language school. If you sense this, it's often helpful to say something like "Are you calling about English lessons?" This usually ends the students' fumbling for words.
Don't be pushy - try to be a teacher more than a salesperson (you'll get more students).
