Anyone know Mike Stanescu?

My theory is that most people (not specifically to this thread but in general) new to business these days, find the phone to be a bit too personal. There's not enough time for people to think and formulate a response to advantage, or the ability to ignore someone for like a day or two if they somehow feel the need. And that goes both ways.

Disabilities not withstanding, there's a bit of a problem with folks these days if they can't just pick up the phone to talk business with someone. Too personal? Formulate a response to advantage? Are we all scheming on one another here? Nothing makes me happier than to get on the phone or meet face to face with a business associate or potential client to discuss a project. There are so many subtle nuances in conversation that can't be conveyed in an email or instant message.

Granted this can bite in the ass if you are running behind on a deadline and looking to ignore someone. The goal would be to not fall behind, but then again, if you have a personal rapport with someone they are more likely to be understanding and flexible with you when you tell them it's going to be another day or two to get something done.

I agree with you... but at the same time I see it all to often unfortunately. But nothing beats some one-on-one time to get to the heart of the matter.
 
All is cool here, payment received. Unless there's anything else to add, someone can close this thread.
Glad that worked out between you guys, and now that I have your attention, you were supposed to send me a banner more than a month ago as part of a now-ancient $10 banner promo.

There's nothing like outing people on WF to help increase customer service and vendor productivity. :angrysoapbox_sml:
