People skills – being good with people is essential to working as a receptionist as you will be required to speak to people on the phone as well as dealing with visitors to the office that you will need to sign in and see to the Reception Chairs that you have placed in the waiting area. If your reception area doesn’t have seating you might want to look at Reception chairs online to find some.
