That little device in your hand is a telephone. You probably know it best for keeping you informed anytime someone you are connected to makes a move. It rings when someone leaves you a voicemail, dings when someone emails, chirps when someone tweets and plays your favorite tune when someone sends you a text message.
With that in mind, I want to suggest something sort of retro-revolutionary. Let’s bring back the phone. If you’d like to work with me, but have questions or want to make sure I’d be great to work with, call me:
801-230-2932
If you want to tell me about your business and see if I can help, call me:
801-230-2932
Scouring the web for the right answer is sometimes like consulting the Magic 8 Ball. You can Google me or other businesses, but if you want to know things like, “Will I be able to stand the sound of her voice during a coaching call?” or “Will her working style fit with mine?” nothing but a phone call will do.
If you want to talk more about the goodblog project, call me:

If you want to see if I know what you need to know, and can make smart recommendations? call me:
801-230-2932
If you need clarity and confidence to launch a business or a new project and want to work with someone who really cares, call me:
801-230-2932
If you want to tell me that I went overboard, listing my phone number so many times, call me. Actually, you can just email me with that feedback.
I wrote this to remind you not only that I am accessible by phone, but you should be too. Let your clients know that you are more than a website. Invite them to hear your voice and learn what is most important to them. If you want to work with people, be accessible and approachable.
If you prefer email, or would like to schedule a call: bemorewithless@gmail.com.

This gave me a good chuckle, Courtney. At the same time, you make a strong point. I resist, however, as I don’t have a business phone and don’t want to give my home number on the web. I tried Google Voice Mail for awhile, but it still links to my home phone, which I share. So this is not the best option. I noticed “heavies” like Men with Pen given an email address rather than a phone number. But they probably have plenty of work flowing their way and can call the shots. Do I need to crack down and get a business phone? You are stirring up the question.
Sandra, It all depends on what kind of business you want. If you want to engage and interact with people, I suggest having a phone number. I use my personal cell phone. When I am doing longer consulting calls, I use Skype.
No cell phone reception in my area! Yes, barbarian, I know.
