Oh, I see. Is there any way you can transfer or forward this call to the Sales Department? I don't want to go through the IVR system again, and I'm afraid there might be a long hold time.

OK, I'll reroute your call to the proper party. Please wait a minutes.

The only time that is inconvenient is between 11 am and noon. Is that alright? By the way, could you arrange a meeting for me?

OK, I see. I'll give a message to him certainly.
I'm sorry I can't. I belong to a different department from him, so I can't confirm his schedule. If you want to arrange a meeting with him, his assistant will be able to arrange it. Her name is Jane. I can reroute this call to her now, if you want.

Yes, of course. Please hold on, I'll put you through to Jane. Bye.

Yes, of course. Please hold while I'll put you through to Jane. Good bye.

2. your expression was fine, this is a different expression that you can also use in this context; we use 'while' to express simultaneous actions
