That's for staying in touch with friends and family. I have a phone and e-mail and that's plenty for my customers.

I used to, but then it was as if somebody kept walking into your office all the time interrupting

I prefer:
1) E-mail comm.
2) Telephone or telephonates such as (Skype). But telephone is better specially mobile telephone (Turkish: ''cep telefonu'')
3) Rarely comm. via telepathy plus empathy.

| You mean Skype? | Dec 26, 2010 |
In which case yes, certainly, but not for everyone and generally only for quick sales ("you available for 2000 words by Thursday?" - "could be, send me the document"). Very efficient, no problems.

Hi Oliver,
In such cases I agree

...only on Skype (I have another IM client that's just for friends and relatives), only for a limited number of customers and only in a limited number of situations.

I use Skype for teaching and quick inquiries, though I prefer emails or telephone. Less interruptions.
Saludos!

| That just sounds distracting | Dec 26, 2010 |
As Ian said, real-time messaging would be like people constantly walking into your office while you're trying to work.
I prefer e-mail, which I can check when I'm not in the middle of figuring out a complicated sentence. E-mail also works well since my clients are largely in other time zones: if an e-mail message arrives while I'm asleep, I can respond when I wake up.

I use the Skype chat feature with a few clients, and I actually prefer it to the telephone. In any case, I'm not being constantly Skyped, so it's not a bother. People normally contact me via e-mail.

The situation was: I was doing his job and he was delivering shower of advises and comments on possible changes through IM. I got a terrible headache after completion of this job. It just destruct attention and waste the valuable time to complete the translation. Now I just remain off from all IMs during the time of translation. I have to retain the IM addresses in my profile for the sake of business contact but I really hate to be contacted at time of work. ▲ Collapse

| only on occasion | Dec 26, 2010 |
Mostly I use email, but occasionally one of my clients who has me on SKYPE will hail me and ask if i'm available. I have MSN but only use that for friends etc....
you can send files via SKYPE but email is better because you have a record of it being sent and received.

Only through e-mails. I would love to keep business relationship on professional level. E-mails help.
