Three Types of Telephoners

Three Types of Telephoners

The tonal quality of our speech tells more about us on a subtle level than the word we say. A great part of our personality comes from the voice…… the healthy person has a well modulated, clear, rich voice that is kind in tone and word. The wispy voice of a shy person, the cracking voice of someone in fear or under stress, and the booming voice of someone who is trying to put one over on you are all giveaways. The rounded, sonorous sounds of a person who believes sincerely in their projects and follows their inner light is quite different from the indwelling abrasiveness of the super salesman who only wants you within their grasp until they get your money

The Eye Telephoner (Visual Person) pictures, images
These people process information visually, they would prefer a face-to-face conversation to talking over the telephone. If they were buying a car they want to know how it looks not how it sounds or feels. They tend to use words as follows:
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
Crystal Clear
Demonstrate
Flash
Focused
Get A Bird's Eye View
Glimpse
Have a look
Hazy
Hindsight
In The Mind's Eye
In view of

Sight For Sore Eyes

The Ear Telephoner (Auditory person) – sounds, tones
These people process information by how it sounds, they like to hear themselves talk. If you need to explain something to these people, they will not understand if you show them you how to do it, you will need to tell them how to do it. When they communicate it has to do with sound:
Announce
Call
Certain Overtones
Crashing
Described In Detail
Earful
Earshot
Gave Him An Earful
Give An Account Of
Harmonize

Rumour
Shout
Sounds Like

That Rings A Bell
That's Unheard Of
To Tell The Truth
Tongue-Tied
Tuned In

The Feeling Telephoner (Kinaesthetic) – touch, feelings
They make decisions based on what makes them feel good, to them it is not what you say, and it is how you say it.
Come To Grips With It
Hang In There
Hold On
I'm conscious of
In A Moment Of Panic
Lay Your Cards On The Table
Pull Some Strings
She Perceived Softly
Start From Scratch
That Was Under Handed
That's A Pain In The Neck
Touch Base With
What It Boils Down To
You Can Sense
You Need To Experience It
