Every day I receive emails – many that my Spam detector fails to flag – with some form of: “Hello David / I hope you’re doing well. / I wanted to reach out and discuss the potential of utilizing our services for your business growth.” Clearly, these are auto-generated campaigns tied to LinkedIn or other marketing groups that have my email address.
Yesterday, I received this at 10:20 a.m.:
“Hi, David… I’m wondering about your thoughts per my email last week. My manager, [Name], asked me to reach out to you again. He is excited to connect with you…”
At 10:53 a.m., this arrived:
“Good morning, David… Recently, my sales associate, [Name], contacted you about scheduling a meeting with me. I’m excited that you want to discuss…”
This one came today at 9:43 a.m.:
“Hello, David… I noticed you haven’t responded to our urgent request to meet with you…”
I understand folks are just trying to make a living – so I shake my head and hit Delete, thankful I don’t have resort to these tactics. Sort of like when someone rings our doorbell and they’re selling new windows, lawn care, or solar energy panels. I’m always polite… and always make sure it’s a quick conversation.
