I can spend 30 minutes texting someone for something I can accomplish in under a minute on a person to person call

Text is where it's at. I use an iPhone, so it is very easy to text.
I have a problem with customer's text messaging, I almost feel like it is a violation or something. I don't initiate a text with a customer ever, but they sure find a way to text me.
Who knows, that just may be the future of communication. I used to hate it, now that I do it, I see the value in it. You can answer at your leisure, keep multiple conversations going and also have a "written" record of conversations.

Can you blame her:laughing:
I use to think it was pretty silly, very hard to do and slow. But having kids I am forced to use it now. After getting use to it I have become convinced it has its uses. You can use it for short messages but I find it cumbersome to get real information across.
You gotta be kidding me. Business is business. I can understand not talking on the phone when you are there on a job interview. But if you are writing a contract and doing work then you aren't wasting their time by talking on the phone. What you are doing is neglecting the other side of your business. If you are working T&M then you have a valid point.
You text for a material delivery ??????????????
no need to answer the phone every 10-15minutes, take notes on conversation, etc., Leo. Been there, had to stop the calls. Just works for me. I have evoice on my site. when I get finished for the day, I check the messages. I also have live chat if someone needs to talk to a rep.
You mean to say you have hired a firm to answer your calls with a live receptionist and transfer them to voice...right?
Material coordination is either handled before arriving to the site or when at the site. Then I use the phone--t' do some coordinatin'. This is, of course, a part of the whole scope, right?.:whistling

My wife doesn't even answer my calls.:no:
I don't think I have ever sent a text message to a real person. Had to tell [email protected] to stop sending them to me via text once.
I like talking to people. May be old school but I will call in an order that I could easily fax because I would like to hear a voice from a real person rather than a fax or e-mail order.
I don't enjoy ordering things on the internet either.
I do enjoy messing around here though. Rather not listen to all ya bastids live. Go figure some logic into that.:whistling

I'm with Leo on this one. My phone does'nt ring off the hook. Sometimes, but I only answer the relevant calls.
What's your number ??? :laughing:
I always text the guys sunday night and let them know the game plan for the week. I find it very easy just write it up and send it out to all of them at once. Then I dont feel like Im bothering them on their free time and they can read it at their convenience
No. It is in fact a live person's recording, but it is basically a voice message system. It works great for me. You set up the secondary phone answerers of your choice.
goes like this:
customer calls--evoice automated receptionist answers--customer chooses from 3 extensions I set up: 1. for estimates 2. for pricing 3. to speak to a representative.
The estimate/pricing/representatives are any person(s) you designate to handle these extensions.
Goes str8 to the designee's cellphone. Evoice--All for $30 bucks a month:thumbsup:
