  • Texting or calling?

    I prefer calling over texting because things can often be resolved much more quickly. However, for simple and easily understandable topics, texting is the perfect choice. I also understand that many people dislike calling and prefer to exchange several emails instead of making a short phone call. How about you? What are your thoughts on this?

    I am more of a call guy when someone gives me his phone number. Via phone you can trigger emotions and build a personal relationship.

    Texting. It’s more straightforward, you have more time to think about what you are going to say. But the truth is that call has a better conversion, by far.

    Texting offers convenience and allows for thoughtful responses, but nothing beats the personal touch and immediacy of a phone call. Ultimately, the choice depends on the context and what you're trying to communicate.

    I agree with your approach! I prefer calling because it's a quicker way to resolve any issue. Besides, calls are necessary when the conversation topic requires opinions and discussions; they flow quicker and more smoothly over calls than in texts, about which people can easily forget. In sales, in particular, calls also help with establishing contact. It's easier to understand what the other person doesn't understand and where they still have questions or doubts. You can also use your charisma more effectively! With texts it's much easier to misinterpret something or miss the actual mood of the person you're talking to and make mistakes in communication.

    It’s an interesting topic, even more now with the hype around Airchat that sort of mixes both « voice and text ». It feels like it s also a generational thing. We went from calls to texts to voice messaging.

    @toni_pm Good thoughts, you could be right. Personally, I prefer calls over voice messages because I don't like them when they become too long.

    Both! Texts to get straightforward messages across and calls if it's more complex.

    I prefer calling & texting, especially during business hours, because it often speeds up the resolution process and adds a personal touch. After hours, I tend to switch to emails.
