Many of my clients have not met me
This is my faceless developer story of almost 30 years
I started my business as a freelance web designer in a different era altogether. In those days, you don’t Zoom. You don’t Whatsapp. Those babies were not even born yet.
The only tech that was available was the normal landline phone call (from Graham Bell days), the pager and the email. Email was, at that time, just recently born, and those who have email addresses are like those people who are dabbling in AI nowadays. They were the elites who had sufficient knowledge to setup an email account. Pretty much most of the world didn’t even have email addresses at that time.
As for me, I had one email from my educational institute, and another from hotmail (the hottest free email provider of those days)
The year was around 1996.
And I was just putting out my tiny little toes into the business world, while I was still in the last phase of my academic life. Just couldn’t wait to make some money, that was me.
It was understandable during that era that this strong idea exist. And I have so often heard this same line being repeated by many business owners and company folks.
We do not conduct business with people we’ve never met.
