If you work in a professional capacity, there’s a good chance that you have a Blackberry cell phone. If so, you might like to download ringtones for that phone. However, you should be aware that the ringtones you use can affect the professional impression that you make on people.

Here are some tips for choosing Blackberry ringtones (or other Verizon ringtones) that will leave a good impression:

• Be very selective in choosing songs as ringtones. You might think it’s funny to hear "I’m Too Sexy" every time that your phone rings but the investors that hear that go off in your pocket are going to think twice before putting their signature on your checks.
• Go with a low-pitched sound. High-pitched ringtones tend to remind people of whiny sounds. You don’t want people in your profession to think of you that way. Low-pitched tones send a more conservative, solid message about yourself to others.
• Listen to it again and again before going out in public with it. A ringtone might sound fine to you the first time that you hear it. Play it ten times in a row and you’ll realize that it sounds annoying. Annoying is not professional.

Of course, you should remember to keep your phone on vibrate whenever you are entering a professional setting. But you want to know in advance that if you happen to forget to silence it, the sound isn’t going to embarrass you.
