email: You're a slave to your e-mail?
- 03/01/10 09:18 PM
So here's what happens, you wake up and check your e-mail. You have 50 new messages, 3 of which are relevant, the rest are automated drip campaigns with offers that you think you might want later. If you are smart, you click spam, but most likely you leave these sitting around for "later." You could "archive" them if you want to try to outsmart the system. Eventually, you are satisfied with that, grab your coffee (get ready) then come back and now you have 10 more messages. This time 1 of them is extremely relevant the rest is more "drips." … (3 comments)
email: This Is Exactly What We Don't Need
- 01/21/08 09:24 PM
It's one thing to be solicited which I can understand, since I'm in sales. It's another thing to get a message like this: According to industry experts, 50% of Realtors WON'T make it through 2008.

A study conducted by Atlanta-based MailChimp looked at 200 million e-mails sent by the firm's clients, and found that wording is key to getting consumers to open their e-mail.The study's report noted that most consumers do … (10 comments)
email: New Business Proposal, Really?! Don't fall for these scams
- 09/25/07 12:34 AM
Hopefully, by now we've all seen this, one way or another. The one that seemed the most real to me was about 3 years ago. I got a call with someone wanting to buy a home. They had a large sum of money but they would have to transfer it to my account since they had no account here. There was a long drawn out story about what they wanted to do and why they had to do it this way, but it worked on me (not in the end) because the had the nerve to call me. I brought it … (4 comments)
