Do ‘Business Texts’ Irritate You?
Ok…I REALLY should be writing today about Business Owner tax free income strategies (given its the day after business tax filing deadline…) but I’ve got another ‘stone in my shoe’ to share first. Let me ask you a question…
DO BUSINESS TEXTS IRRITATE YOU?
They irritate me and let me tell you why…..
For YEARS I never understood the whole point of texts..just pick up the phone and call me already!!!
Then EVERYBODY started texting as the standard way to communicate with me…so much so that it seems NOBODY answers the phone now!!!
The thing that irritates me about texts (and why the promoters of texting are pushing it so) is because texts are IMMEDIATE.
By that I mean, we all immediately read a text and presumably immediately act on it….unlike email now that can sit for hours and sometimes days without opening and response.
But here’s why texting in the business area irritates me ( if you’re a regular reader of my feed, you’ll notice how a BUNCH of stuff irritates me…I digress!!)
JUST BECAUSE YOU TEXT ME DOESN’T AUTOMATICALLY MEAN I’M REQUIRED TO RESPOND TO YOU!!
Isn’t the pace of our business world fast enough?
In MY world of working with Founders and CEOs and their business succession, tax planning, income planning and estate planning issues… I MUST have a clear, thorough audit trail of communication…and text snippets just don’t cut it.
But more to my own personal point I don’t care for a perfect stranger or even a business client expecting me to stop EVERYTHING I’m doing at whatever time of the day or night and respond to him or her…not going to happen!!
So here’s my ‘take home’ message for you business types…
text your wife, significant other, child or buddy to let them know you’re home safe, on your way, thinking of them,…..
But for your business associations….
PICK UP THE PHONE!!
Remember…
