With this question, the interviewer is seeking to understand how you maintain quality customer service and 'approachability' over the phone specifically. Consider what you do differently or pay more attention to over the phone than you do in person. When preparing for the interview, it can help to record yourself practicing conversations with 'customers' to play back and take notes on what you do and how you sound.

"The most important thing for me to convey is authenticity and respect. By the time many customers connect with us, they are stressed, frustrated, or burdened by an issue. In order to help them as thoroughly as possible and leave them feeling good about our company and service, it is important that my voice carries less of a fake, robotic tone and more of an authentic and respectful tone. I think this makes a big difference in how customers respond, so I do my best to maintain that tone in every call."
