Contact is not available, and you leave a voicemail (If voicemaiI, second box from top on right)
Contact does not answer at all (No answer, third box from top on right)
If you reach the wrong number or encounter another problem, choose the issue accordingly in the If problem box on the bottom right).

After completing the call, be sure to fill one of the corresponding circles.

Tips for making calls:
Practice the script a few times until you are comfortable. If you would like to change a few words, that's fine as long as the pertinent information is covered.
Calm down.
Be yourself.
Speak slowly.
Allow the contact to answer your questions.
Smile - the contact will "hear" it over the phone.
