the phone is nice to solve quick problems, negotiate something, speed up things.

when a chatty client calls i say "oh hi, nice to hear from you. listen i have to leave for X place (meeting, appointment, whatever) in 5 minutes. how can i help you?" that gives them a deadline and give you an out while keeping things friendly.

hey, you might like this shit i'm going to post for you. we actually watched the whole show last night and it was hilarious, but here's the phone call bit:
