Instant Messaging (IM) vs. email—while IM might be the newer tool, it’s already proving to be a game-changer, especially in the fast-paced Web3 space. Business developers (BDs), you know what I’m talking about. In Web3, speed and timing can make or break a deal, and instant messaging is your secret weapon for staying ahead of the game.

Let’s dive into why IM is a total game-changer for BDs in the Web3 world. And hey, while we’re at it, let’s see how nReach can give you that extra edge.

1. IM = Instant Response (No Waiting in the Email Void)

Let’s face it: emailing can be like shouting into the void. You send off a message, wait hours (or days!) for a response, and then… radio silence. Business opportunities slip through your fingers, just like gas fees during a bull run.

Now, instant messaging doesn’t guarantee an instant response either—people can still go quiet. But here’s the real advantage: when the timing is right and you’ve got a good fit, conversations can progress quickly. On platforms like Telegram, Discord, or WhatsApp, you can move from introductions to closing details in just one or two conversations. Unlike email chains that drag on for weeks, IM lets you strike while the iron is hot, getting straight to the point without endless back-and-forth.

It’s all about hitting that nail at the right moment, so when you do get a reply, you’re ready to seal the deal.

BDs Tip: Use IM to get those lightning-fast responses. It’s the perfect tool for quick follow-ups and keeping conversations flowing naturally—no more waiting around for an email reply.

2. A More Personal Touch

Emails are great, but they can often feel… let’s just say, a bit stiff. Even with emojis, there’s something about formal email structures that makes them feel like you’re sending a message in a bottle. With IM, you can keep things casual, adding a bit of personality to your interactions. In the Web3 space, where building relationships is key, that personal touch can go a long way.

Sending a quick “How’s your day going?” on Telegram before diving into business can make conversations smoother and build rapport. IM platforms allow you to interact more like a real human and less like a faceless company. And who doesn’t like dealing with real humans?

BDs Tip: Don’t be afraid to use a little humor or friendliness in your IMs. A well-placed GIF or meme can make you more relatable and approachable, helping you build stronger connections in the Web3 community.

3. Stay on Top of Things with Automation

Now, let’s talk about where nReach comes into play. Managing a million IMs on different platforms can feel like herding cats.

4. IM is Where the Web3 Action Happens

Web3 is all about community, and that community lives on IM platforms. Sure, you might find the occasional Web3 enthusiast replying to an email, but most of the time, discussions, collaborations, and partnerships are happening in Telegram groups, Discord servers, and Twitter DMs. If you’re still stuck in your email inbox, you’re missing out on where the action is.

BDs Tip: Dive into those Telegram channels and Discord servers. Join groups relevant to your niche, and don’t be shy to start conversations. You never know when a casual chat might turn into your next big partnership.

5. No More Lost in Translation

Ever send an email, only to have it misinterpreted because the tone got lost in the formality? IM gives you a chance to express yourself more naturally. Throw in a smiley face, use casual language, or send a voice note if needed. It’s easier to clarify and prevent misunderstandings when you’re chatting in real time.

BDs Tip: Use IM to clarify details on the spot. If a conversation feels like it’s veering off course, quickly steer it back with a simple message or voice note.

Emails have their place, but in the fast-moving Web3 world, instant messaging is the true MVP for BDs. It’s quick, personal, and lets you stay on top of conversations without getting bogged down by formality.
