Confessions of a Digital Consultant: The Pros and Cons of Messaging Clients in Your Pajamas

If you’re a coach or consultant juggling virtual calls, back-to-back DMs, and the sacred ritual of morning coffee spillage, then congratulations—you’ve officially made it in the digital world. I’ve been consulting remotely for years now, and let me tell you: the line between professional communication and pajama-induced chaos is thinner than my Wi-Fi signal during a storm. So let’s dive into the amusing, awkward, and oh-so-true pros and cons of digital business communication from the home front.

Pro: Pajamas = Peak Productivity

There’s something magical about logging into a Zoom call in a crisp shirt and fuzzy flamingo pajama bottoms. Comfort fuels creativity, right? I’ve built eight-week strategy plans while sipping tea in a unicorn onesie. The digital world doesn’t judge—it only buffers.

Con: Typos Happen (A Lot)

Ever autocorrect “strategy” into “strangely”? I once messaged a client, “Let’s circle back to your strangley goals next week.” They asked if it was a new coaching framework. I said yes. Now it is. (Note to self: trademark “Strangley Goals.”)

Pro: Communication Tools Are a Life Saver

From scheduling to messaging, tools like ConXhub have made business communication less of a mess and more of a streamlined dream. You can reach clients via multiple channels, keep your numbers private, and appear impressively organised—even if your cat is eating your notes mid-call.

Con: Every Message is a Potential Minefield

Should I emoji? Did they understand the sarcasm? Wait, did I just send my meal prep instructions to the wrong client? (Spoiler: I did. He replied, “Looking forward to the quinoa insights.”) With great messaging power comes great existential dread.

Pro: Boundaries Are Easier to Enforce (Mostly)

Muted notifications are sacred. Want to recharge? Hit Do Not Disturb. But beware: the second you unmute, it’s like the floodgates of inquiry opened and every client decided to have a revelation at once. Schedule wisely, coach. Schedule wisely.

Con: You Miss Human Vibes

No body language, no eye contact—no idea if they’re enthusiastic or just trying to close the laptop lid without being rude. Remember eye rolls? We used to feel those. Now we decode them through typing speed and GIF selection.

In the grand theatre of digital consulting, every message is a performance and every emoji is a gamble. But with the right tools, you can manage communication like a pro—even in mismatched socks.
