1. Pick up ringing phone.
2. Answer customer's question or solve customer's problem.
Seriously, what kind of procedure are you looking for here? What problem do
you see that you're seeking a procedure to solve? Customer service is not
an easy job, but it's usually pretty straightforward, at least at the level
of "what to do when a customer service representative receives a call from
a customer".
