Problem
E-mail is not a planning tool. It can be easily ignored, missed, or
lost; chains can quickly devolve into 40-50 irrelevant message
threads.

Social Media serves a different purpose for each individual. Not
every person in a group is active on social media.

Phone calls aren’t easy to schedule for large groups and don't
foster easy communication between multiple people.




 What did you take away from that call?
