When I first built my email list, I was ready to create some drip campaigns. Just one little problem: I didn't know what to say. I felt like a salesperson with this perfect prospect, but I couldn't find the words to convey how I could change this person's business. I started chatting with a few of my friends in sales to learn more about their best secrets and corresponding open rates, and David Sneider , Sendbloom's former head of growth and current CEO of Deco.Network, provided the following qu

If your sales meetings are typically just focused on reviewing the budget pacing numbers and other housekeeping notes, then WOW are you missing a great opportunity.
