Calling or Emailing When SE - KingFlashOut - 09-08-2012
When SEing, you have the option of Emailing or Calling your chosen victim.
Which one do you prefer and why?
For me i find calling much easier because I know what to say and how to react to the situation but on the other hand I do prefer just emailing them.

I prefer calling because it has a much higher success rate when your talking to a real person.

That's what I thought because you know how to act it out and its more convincing to them

I really prefer to email because I'm very shy, and I have trouble even talking to friends over the phone. But, if it's needed, I do call in.

Yeah - exactly.

I do a bit of both, but phoning is a lot more easier and quicker. It's harder though, as you've got to create excuses off the top of your head which can be hard sometimes. Only failed once over the phone though.

I prefer to email, but I might start calling because:
1. It puts the person on the phone on the spot
2. You can "show your emotions" better
3. Like Hardz said, a much higher success rate.
But I'd only recommend calling in if your confident, and if you have a scenario planned out. Even if you are sitting by your computer with a Script of questions they may ask you and you've written the answer underneath like, As long as you have something to say. Also only call in if you have the PID or a PoP.

That is also right Equinox, always plan first before you start to call them and have the confidence to do it

Yeah - because if you call and you fuck up - then you've practically messed up the whole SE.

For me I like emailing personally. Obviously calling is the more preferable option but with email you can fix your mistakes and change shit. if your put on the spot on the phone its sometimes harder to get out of a jam. Just my opinion
