Here’s what readers are saying…
“I was in hi-tech for over twenty-five years. I first started using email for sales and marketing in the ’90s. In those days if I had someone’s business card, I would not think twice about phoning or dropping them an email. I often did email blasts to partner’s email lists and purchased lists from tech magazines. So much has changed since then.
Now, it is very easy to get tripped up by all the rules and regulations that apply to doing emails in sales and marketing. The problem is that these mistakes can be costly to you and your business. Mike’s book “Email Marketing How To Protect Your Business When Selling By Email” does an excellent job of going over the potential pitfalls when doing business emails. The checklist summary on page 37 is a must read. While I consider myself knowledgeable about today’s email rules, I picked up some key points in reading the book. One that I often forget is to put a copyright on my emails. On a couple of occasions, I have had sales emails copied by competitors. Another point is to use the right email signature that includes the business entity.
If you use emails in your sales and marketing, I highly recommend you get a copy of Mike’s book and read it carefully.”
