Voicemails or texts?
This is the "What hurts?" thread 😅.
Why I don't approve of voice messages:
1️⃣ I am not comfortable listening to them. I can be around people, watching a webinar, etc., and listening to voice messages in those moments is not comfortable. So you will get a response later than those who write 🤷🏼♀️
2⃣ Not everyone knows how to be clear and concise. When you write a message, you make it much simpler, and you take out parasitic words, it's not always nice to hear profanity or solid "eh....."🙉
3⃣ Summary or listen to it 1,000 times. It's hard to find the right and important points in a message, especially if it involves numbers. The voice message needs to be listened to constantly to find the right one, which is especially difficult to do if there are speech defects or the person is just chewing while recording. Bottom line: if a voice message is 5 minutes long, you can spend 40 minutes or even an hour just on this point (sorry😭)
4⃣ Respect for time. We all value our time, my time is just as important as yours.
Those are probably the main points why I don't like voice messages, if I remember anything else I'll be sure to share 😅.
How do you feel about voicemails? ⬇
