My friend sat here and came up with excuse after excuse about not actually talking to somebody.He just wanted to be a button pushing robot.He finally called just to shut me up.I've sold stull all my life,and in the last few years I have run into a lot of people that refuse to deal any way except by pushing buttons.I just don't deal with them.A two minute phone call gets more information than an hour of texting.I don't even have any way of texting.Same with emailing.Exchange info,then call and talk.I have had folks hard of hearing,or poor english speakers,but they tell me why they want to use the email right up front.Those are good reasons for not calling.I sold a Mack tractor to an exporter,it was going to central America.We talked by email,then he came here to inspect and pay for it.We translated through a 5 year old kid.I gave him his paperwork,he gave me a bag of cash,he hung a dealer plate on the truck and drove away.
