How may I help you?

I sometime take calls from Spanish speakers. In English I answer the phone saying "how may I help you?", would I say the same thing in Spanish, or do they use a different phrase?

I'm guessing that it's going to depend on the country and region.:)

People say in Mexico "mande".

Hello Daniel:)

Certainly that's the way a lot of people answer a phone in Mexico, either [I]"Mande" or "Bueno" [I] but wouldn't you agree that
mande is used more often when the caller asks for a certain person and that person answers (by saying mande)? .... but businesses use a more formal greeting: "Esta hablando con Walmart. Como puedo ayudarle (o sirvirle)."

In my experience in Costa Rica they say "En que puedo ayudarte"; tambien "...servirle". They almost always respond to "thank you" by saying "Para servirle".

Hello Vicente,
I am not Mexican, so I am not sure if this should be used with clients as you mentioned ;)
Your options will do too for every speaker.

Hi Daniel

Before I commented I checked with a Mexican friend who manages a number of pizzerias. Those were the versions used in his business places.

Regarding mande, I've heard it said a million times. Any conversation between Mexicans on the street will have a lot of mandes;) It's very much like saying "what?" or "say again".

The most common informal phone answering term is "¿Bueno?.

You had a good source! I just used memory ;)
Thanks for the explanation (and the story).

Excellent. I think "como puedo ayudarle" is what I'm going to go with. Thanks! :D
