Fuck I despise Email in this business, I absolutely hate it. - GoFuckYourself.com

Using email in this business is like playing roullette with BAD ODDS.

I will find a person/site that I want to do business with and the only form of communication I get is an email. I instantly get upset.

Why?

Because once I send the email.
50% Of the time I get absolutely no response. It's as if it never happened.
30% They will respond once, once I follow up *poof* no response again.
10% They will actually reply but because the process takes so long nothing ever gets done.
5% We somehow manage to actually get business done
5% (THE BEST) They include either ICQ or AIM or their phone # in the email so I am actually able to make REAL contact with them and usually that way business gets done.

How do you guys manage to get around this problem? I am seriously just in complete dispair.

I check my email 100 times a day and I reply to every email I receive (unless its spam)

I think I'm 1 in a million, noone does that.

Pure telepathy. Mind beams seem to travel faster than email or IM's, but then there's also a 5% chance that the recipient's head will explode. Totally worth it though.

I don't know how..... When someone says "email me" I automatically assume that nothing will ever get done.

5 times is the magic number. I'll email, ICQ or call 5 times in 5 days over the course of a week or so ... if I get no response I'm done and move on.

ABC ... Always Be Closing, grasshopper!
