Speaking on the phone in a language that isn't your mother tongue is always quite scary. However, there are set phrases that usually people use so this is a typical example:
Employer: Good morning, you've reached Business Solutions. How can I help?
Caller: Hi, can I speak to the Sales Department, please?
Employer: Who’s calling, please?
Caller: It’s Amanda Smith.
Employer: Certainly. Please hold and I’ll put you through.
Caller: Thank you.
…………………………………………………………………………………
Employer: (to the Sales Department), I’ve got Amanda Smith on the phone for you ... OK, I’ll put her through.
