I received this email this morning:
“I’m sure you’re busy, but if you could respond to my email below, I can cross this off my list.”
Seriously???
If you’re doing email outreach, it means you want something from the other person – so find a way to ADD VALUE to them.
Who in the world does outreach and asks somebody to respond so they can “cross it off their list”?!
I get a lot of emails but this one was SO BAD that I had to share it.
Marked it as SPAM and filtered all of their emails to go directly to the trash.
Rant over.
