Local Webmaster Or Not?

With our modern communication there is no reason you need to meet your webmaster in person.  In fact, most webmasters consider it a waste of time. After all, it takes time to get dressed for the public, travel to and from the meeting location, plus the actual meeting time. In-person meetings generally include more chit-chat than actual decision making and content. So for many webmasters and other technology workers, face-to-face meetings are a huge time-waster.

And who pays for that time? You do! Either directly or indirectly a face-to-face meeting costs you money and time. After all, if your webmaster is out meeting with another client he’s not working on your project!

Many people continue to insist on meeting their webmaster in person. If need be, use the telephone. Just recognize that most webmasters consider the telephone an interruption. They have to stop what they’re doing, change their train of thought to your project, then go back to what they were working on. Again, it delays their work for you — and for other clients. This ends up costing you money again!

Instead, learn to use email to communicate more effectively. It may not be your preferred communication style, but it is for your webmaster.

Of course, when you start working with a new webmaster, you’ll want to ask about his/her preferred communication style.

In fact, that’s just one of the techniques discussed in How To Talk To Your Webmaster. Pick Up Your Copy Today!
