Texting or calling?

by•

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?

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 am more of a call guy when someone gives me his phone number. Via phone you can trigger emotions and build a personal relationship.
Viola Schoell
@sergios_charalambous It's the same for me.

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.
Viola Schoell
@samuel_rondot That is absolutely right.

Texting, but not too long

@tamsin I'm also not a fan of very long messages.

Both ! Anything but voice messages 🫠

@juliettebegue_ Many people hate voice messages. I only like them when they're short :D

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.

@michaelshver Absolutely true.

The older i get, the more i love calling. It's easier, more personal and you can share more information in a shorter period of time. However, if i talk about something important, i always tell them to also text me the important parts afterwards soo that i have it written somewhere.
