Ha ha!). It also speeds the process up massively. Also, having your phone number available also makes you that much more accessible then the blogger who doesn’t. You can always follow up with an email to clarify what you discussed, for those who like a ‘paper’ trail!

I recently had this same conversation with a few bloggers at a conference I attended. Most of them never use the phone to connect with brands or PR. They were horrified that I have my phone number on my business card. I like to use the phone, it is efficient and although it can be nerve wracking, generally the outcomes, or understanding is immediate. If I have more than a couple of questions to ask of a brand or PR I generally make a phone call. One phone call is all it takes to create a connection, have a 5 minute discussion with an outcome or clear understanding and then move forward without a chain of frustrating emails to work through. I can say with confidence that this is not just a roadblock for bloggers. I found the same thing in corporate life, people prefer to email their responses/questions.
