I t i s not good manners to stop a person on the street or i n a shop, or i n
theperformanceofanydutyandtotalktohimforten,fifteenortwentyminutesjustto
pass the time of day. We can tell that a person is in a hurry to get somewhere or he is
doing something and we know enough not to interrupt him for any length of time. Yet
some of us think nothing of calling someone on the telephone, interrupting him without
a thought about what he may be doing and chattering away, forgetting about time or
anything else. Perhaps we don't consider our telephone conversation an interruption
because we don't see what we have interrupted. Naturally we must observe the common
courtesi es over the tel ephone. But we must remember that one of the courtesi es
oftelephoningistobebrief.
Never ask anybody to guess who you are. The person you are telephoning may not
be in a guessing mood. If you know him, you may want to ask after the state of his health
and that of his family, but as soon as you possibly can, do get on with your business. He
certainly wants to know why you are telephoning him. When you are finished with your
business, you might take a moment to observe the natural courtesies of conversation,
expressing your thanks before ending your call.
From the way the telephone is used in your home, you would hardly suspect that
this is an instrument on which very important business transactions are conducted. There
are times when even you are called upon to be business like, brief and effective on the
telephone.
