Gsm And E-mail, Which Do You Prefer? by isp1(m): 11:01pm On Jan 06, 2008 |
This is one of the most puzzling things that has bugged my mind over some months now. I have personally conducted a survey on this offline but would want to do the same here. Here my survey goes. GSM AND E-MAIL, WHICH DO YOU PREFER? (Back your choice up with reasons) |

By GSM, I take it that you meant SMS. In my opinion, there is no basis for comparison. They both have their uses and are better utilized based on the circumstances around the user. |

Since the inception of GSM, people just abandoned the emails. Those who usually go online to send mails and do other things now became lazy about it. They tell you "my mail must have been deactivated because it has been more than 4 months I checked it last. Moreover, since I have my phone what is the need of going to send mails when I can easily call the person and pass my message across." Is this ideology the best we can figure out? |

There's also another angle to this, especially in web business: 'which would you use when discussing with potential customers/clients?'.It'll be how you use each at this stage that the game is won and lost. Rule of the thumb: always stick to email.phone when it is absolutely necessary, and sparingly at that.email will dictate your pace,give the impression you're a busy outfit,and will dictate how serious the person is.Phone on the other hand would give the opposite,as there are no barriers (one on one - anything goes,especially if you're not a good negotiator).

Believe it o brother! I learnt this the hard way 2 days ago,phoning a client without anything solid.it degenerated to a bargaining session and even when i reduced my price 15%,he said he'll call later.that was 2 days ago.hence i made it a new year resolution |
