Good Evening Steemians,
"I assert dominance over other millennials by responding to their texts with phone calls."
This gave me quite a chuckle
But the reality is that the joke it is poking fun at a very relevant cultural shift.
Many of my friends would rather communicate through a 20 message text exchange instead of picking up the phone and clearly communicating their point in minutes if not seconds.
Time and place for everything, but phone etiquette and skill sets are becoming a lost art form as less and less practice it.
Do you think it is important to still practice phone skills?
Working in a relationship based role I definitely do.
I can build a genuine relationship with someone through the use of tone, cadence, and responsiveness in real time. None of witch can be utilized through simple text, email, etc.
This is a marketing question, a sales question, and a cultural question.
Written competency is extremely valuable for conveying detailed concepts and establishing credibility to those who you haven't yet spoke with. Ideally, a speaking relationship will take center stage once credibility has been won.
Thoughts? Comments? Concerns?
