Where there is a choice between phone and email I usually like to go the email route to make first contact. In fact, if I can I'll set the whole thing up that way.
I've never had any problems doing this until recently, my last 3 emails to people I've not seen before have all gone unanswered. Now I know there are 100 reasons why this might be so that's not my question.
Rather, I am curious to know how many providers like the email way over the phone way. If you offer email do you prefer it, or if you don't offer it why not?

email is definitely what I like. a lot of us have appointmet request pages on websites which help us organize by having you put what day and time you want for how long and if you want incall or outcall etc. in my experience whenever someone calls they often have not read the info in my ad and website and many times are trying to ask questions about money and services. for this reason many times I dont feel comfortable turning those phone calls into appointments. email is defintely better for me and helps things go much more smoothly. sending an email request from the appointment request page on my website is the fastest way to get an appointment.

Email is ok for first contact but I would like to talk to you on the phone.
