How not to impress a prospect

Most of us have a lot of messages to delete on a regular basis.

Thanks for sharing some of your experience.

LOL Marte Cliff I've had that same email and follow-up in recent weeks myself! We must be really special! :)

Good morning Marte,

OMG..it's so annoying! I've been getting emails for website re-design, assistant, accountant etc. Then they they follow up 2 and 3 times! I'm not answering!

Good morning Marte. Telling me how bad my product is and they are the solution doe snot get my favor. Maybe call me old fashion but criticism is not the way to introduce yourself. Enjoy your day. 

I get these emails often - thankfully they usually go straight to Spam. And I often get the follow up email without ever getting the first one. The senders think we're dumb.

That is a perfect example of how not to start a relationship. If the first interaction feels generic or pushy, it is hard to take anything that follows seriously.

First impressions matter, and communication should feel intentional and respectful. A thoughtful, well-written message goes much further than a follow-up that feels like pressure.
