For example:

Caller: Could you put me through to the sales department please?
Operator: Let me/I'll put you through to HR.

For example:

Caller: Could you put me through to the sales department please?
Operator: Let me/I'll put you through to HR.

Thanks Teecher, I want to confirm if this is how the Americans use it in their daily-life conversation when they are talking to an operator? Or Are there also some other ways with other verb phrases or slang words to communicate the same thing?

No, it isn't. We say Could you connect me to sales, please?​ "Put me through" sounds very British to us.

Connect is simply a verb, and I am looking for a verb phrase since Americans use verb phrases more often. So is there an alternative way (using a verb phrase) for communicating the same thing that is more common in the USA?

Do you mean phrasal verbs when you say "verb phrases"?

In BrE, you'll hear ...

- Can you put me through to ...
- Can I speak to someone in ...
- Can I have extension [number] ...
- Can you transfer me to ...

When you are calling an organization's phone number and your call is received by the telephone operator.

Can you see that that is not a complete sentence?
