Its A Communication Breakdown...Seriously



It is amazing.....we have television/telephone/cell phones/cell phones with walkie talkie/internet/email/text messaging and voice mail......AND YET in my recent observation people and businesses seemed to ignore communications sent via the above means more often.


I sent a business proposal to a local company with an well thought out outline last Wednesday and have not heard a peep back from them even though a couple of community boards they are on show they have been online as recently as this morning...

Same goes for my model portfolio business send out a job offer to some model who has a great looking online portfolio offering either time for prints or cash and they are ignored as well.

Is It Me or is It A Communication Breakdown...Seriously

1. Communication overload....
After receiving hundreds of emails, texts, faxes, voice mails, phone calls, etc. each day, each item takes on lesser importance.

4. true. Plus, as someone who has 2-3 times the normal workload right now
it's just too damn easy to forget or miss something, or to think I responded when I did not.
