In my experience, about half of all the calls I take could have been email, another 40% shouldn't be either, and another 10% were truly better on the phone and we all pat ourselves on the back for that. I really hate wasting time on someone else's terms and initial phone meetings typically do just that. "Just because you are better with talking than with typing doesn't mean that this is the same for me." I'm not sure if you meant this how I'm reading it but I think this is a really important part of what you're saying. I read it as some people are uncomfortable or shy on the phone, which is common among programmers. I recent lead a team of engineers and some are prolific technical writers, programmers, and Twitter users but have a terrible time interacting in person, over video chat, or on a call. In some cases, it appears to make them very uncomfortable. If the "business types" ignore this situation, they could be missing an opportunity to work with someone great simply because they have to control the communication method. Their loss![/quote]
