I have a captivating, deep voice; it’s one thing I will tell people about myself without fear of sounding that I am full of myself. When it comes to communicating on the phone, very few can top me in how I can soothe, inspire or in some cases turn on a caller to business (or pleasure!)<\/p>\n
This is why I have called April “Telephone Usage Month”. Texting, email, Facebook and other written communication methods create too even a playing field to get your message across. When you give someone a quick call, take a call, or talk to them in real time, it creates such a lasting impression, well beyond what the written word can do.<\/p>\n
