EMail requests for Proposals

Hello Wedding Vendors, Planners and Brides to be.

I'm frequently asked to submit a proposal by email with limited information. I'm old school and believe that it is very important to meet the couple. So much is gained from a one on one meeting.

I get passed the non meeting and try to talk on the phone but only get voice mail and never a return back call.

I get passed the no return of call and email a list of personality questions to try and establish some clues about this faceless couple is, nothing intrusive.

I know now that this is because of a younger generation who grew up on instant information from the internet?

Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks in advance.
