Phone Calls, Texts, and Effective Communication
Today, Matt and Garrett turn their Ninja spotlight on the benefits and drawbacks of phone calls and text messages for communication. Together, they emphasize that both are useful supplements to personal relationships rather than replacements, as well as the significance of visual aids and handwritten notes in enhancing text messages. The importance of effective communication through tonality and body language is also explored.
Throughout the episode, our hosts highlight the importance of building personal relationships in business through this effective communication. They caution against overreliance on text messages, noting their limitations and potential for misunderstandings. In essence, our Ninja experts take the opportunity today to encourage everyone to use a variety of communication methods, including phone calls and text messages, to strengthen relationships and build success.

Quotes:
"I think the big picture we need to start with is making the interactions that we want to make with people on the level that we know is going to make Ninja really come to life."
"However, if you are counting your text messages as FORD conversations, we are missing an incredible opportunity."
"The people that I know that are killing it, Garrett, the people that are in our coaching program that are putting up high numbers, they're on the phone a lot."
"Text messages, words alone on their own, lead to so much miscommunication."
"Do not substitute the phone call with a text message. I don't think it's going to yield you the same results whatsoever."
