The nice thing about real time calls is they help avoid confusion, convey more emotion and information than most messages can. There is less ambiguity usually during a real conversation. Conversations tend to resolve very quickly because in the span of five minutes we can go back and forth on multiple questions, get clarity and finalize how we want continue.

Laughing at this because last time I tried to arrange a call to get my detailed questions answered it was immediately obvious that the person I worked with had NONE of the answers and I was wasting my time. I wasn’t even convinced there was a working product after that. So it goes both ways.
