That was my first thought. If you get a call from these guys, you tell them "I'll be in town next week, when would you like to meet for 20 minutes?"

- joshu 16y agoYep. Some things have to be done face to face.
- Alex3917 16y agoThe book The Art of Possibility has a good chapter about this. It's also a great book in general; it's Rosamund & Ben Zander's philosophy of life disguised as a self-help book, in the same way that The Black Swan is basically Taleb's ideas about epistemology disguised as investment advice. The ideas aren't super unique, but they do a better job selling them than I've seen anywhere else.
- nhangen 16y agoHell, I'd say more than some. It seems to me that real business gets done on the phone and in person, much more than anywhere else in the digital realm (email, social media, etc). If someone isn't willing to take your call, then they probably aren't serious enough. If they aren't willing to meet face to face, then it's more of the same.
