I truly hate texting. It's not that I a hard time entering text or understanding how to send the text. My issue is that the medium results is messages that leave out all details. I get texts stating things like "shoot listing new" or "new price $110000". Now I know that this means that the agent want me to shoot their new listing or change the price on a current listing, but which new listing, what is the address. For the shoot it is vacant, are there dogs, do we need to schedule with the owner, what is the owners phone number.... We have people at the office all day, if they have a phone with them they can call. We always have to call them to get the details anyway. So why risk mis-communication by sending a stupid text message.
Text messaging has set communications back to the time of the telegraph. Messages had to be short because you were charged by the letter. They also didn't have the option of talking with someone. Now day we can easily talk anywhere, yet people want to send short incomplete message via text.
So - any suggestion on worst forms of communication?
