Winning Friends by Fone
A little booklet gcxtten up for tbe employees of tbe New York Telepbone Co. and bearing tfae above title is en¬ closed with each copy of tbe N. Y. Telephone Review for March.
In an editorial calling attention to the booklet, tbe magazine says: "In an editorial on Telephone Courtesy which we printed in September. 1911, we aaid, 'An opportunity to improve in telepbone eourtesy occurs every tima the instrument ie used. Juat imagine what a difference it would make if every employee were to take advantage of it. While we are urging it opon otbera, sball we neglect it ouraelves?' The booklet, Winning Frienda by Tele¬ phone, is an effort to bring bome to eacb employee aome of tbe principles^ underlying genuine coorteay and soma of the waya in whicb the prineipleii can be applied in oor busineaa." How tbis is done is indicated by the follow¬ ing extract from tbe booklet:
"In practicing courtesy over the teiepbone, several points may be kapt in nrind tfaat will be fbond belpfoU Yoo cannot see the person to whom yoo are talking, bot the telepbone re¬ flects year acecota and inflections so perfectly tbat yoo moat be yoarsalf. Yoo are not face to face, bat yho are voice to voice, and that is even more important Leam to speak clearly and ' distinctly over the telephone, using the rising inflection. Concentrate on what is baing said and talk with a ^lla."
