Learning something you didn\u2019t know.

After an hour of this he turned to his companion and said: \u201cBut enough of this. You must tell me all about yourself\u2014tell me\u2014what do you think about my plays!!!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Something like the ham actor who said, \u201cLet\u2019s talk about me, dearie.\u201d Disraeli, the famous English statesman, started out with two strikes on him. He was a nobody, and he was so brilliant that he aroused the envy and jealousy of other politicians. But Disraeli became accepted, not only as one of England\u2019s most brilliant statesmen, but also as one of the most charming dinner guests. His presence was in great demand in \u201chigh so- ciety.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All the blue-blooded matrons were charmed. We wonder what Disraeli\u2019s technique was and then from his personal notebook we find his little secret of getting along with people and selling himself. He wrote, \u201cDon\u2019t talk too much\u2014never argue!\u201d Disraeli \u201clistened himself\u201d into high society. Dwight W. Morrow was called an \u201camateur diplomat\u201d when Calvin Coolidge first appointed him ambassador to Mexico; but Morrow accomplished what the professionals had failed to do. When You Want to Talk\u2014Listen He ironed out the difference between Mexico and the States, made a lifelong friend of Mexico\u2019s President Calles.<\/p>\n<p>How did Morrow accomplish this? He \u201clistened the whole thing over\u201d with President Calles. He used the \u201c. . . and then what did you do, President Calles?\u201d technique.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>if ne eile ie. r ei | Digitized by the Internet Archive In 2022 with funding from Kahle\/Austin Foundation https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/howtosellyoursel0000eIme } va labs a \u00a5 How To SELL YOURSELF TO OTHERS BOOKS BY ELMER WHEELER Tested Sentences That Sell Tested Public Speaking, Revised Magic Words That Make People Buy Sizzlemanship: New Tested Selling Sentences Tested Telegrams Tested Retail Selling How To SELL YOURSELF TO OTHERS Elmer Wheeler Prentice-Hall, Inc.<\/p>\n<p>NEW YORK x Copyright, 1947, by ELMER WHEELER All rights reserved, including the right to reproduce this book, or portions thereof, in any form, except for the inclusion of brief quotations in a review.
