I prefer email to phone as well, though I seem to be in the majority. The fact is I receive correspondance from dozens of people each day. Email allows me to prioritize my replies in the way that makes sense for me. Phone calls don’t allow that: a loud bell rings and I must immediately stop what I’m doing and address a person’s concern, even if it is actually far less important that what I was working on. Phone calls are an intrusion. Don’t phone me.

I would have to agree that while social networking sites are incredibly popular they do nto prosent business opportunities for every business. Nevertheless opportunities are available for people able to capitalize on products that young people can afford.

Was slightly familiar with the Vodafone research but found your blog entry to be “further proof” of the viability of Old School, in person conversations as well as those on the phone.

I would like to quote your blog in my new book for Fireside (Simon and Schuster), Face To Face.

Coming from a young entrepreneur, your insights have great value. Found the stat about not doing business with people they haven’t met to be interesting. The commercial about online scam artists underscores the point that if we SAW the person and heard their pitch, we’d never fall for their ruse.

THANKS for penning a valuable piece.

Very interesting facts and I agree that every business person whether an entrepreneur, sales person, BD exec. would rather avoid using the phone completely. Seriously, who likes making calls? However, I enjoy seeing this fact because the more people shy away from the phones, the more opportunity I have to use my proven phone techniques to not only acquire new business, but to promote my companies with large media outlets by contacting the right people directly. (ie. NY Post, NY Times, TimeOut NY, CBS News, Fox5 News, etc) Meeting in person is always the best and being good on the phone will allow you to meet with the people who can actually help grow your business.

My more meaningful professional relationships only use email for organising meetings – everything is done in person. People need to start picking up the phone, calling and meeting people in person. It’s all about face time.
