DSA Insights May 1 Email
First, let me apologize to those of you who received an e-mail from me about the DSA Insights post project . It has been a huge learning experience and I sincerely apologize for the format of the e-mail (CC) and unsolicited nature. Some of the feedback has been quite positive and encouraging, with a few being negative.
What intrigues me is that there are businesses or individuals with websites and blogs that apparently don’t want to be found on the Internet. When you participate in a blog, leaving a link to your website that contains your blog, tips, and articles, I would think you would appreciate and promote learning and networking with others having similar interests. People like this are probably the same ones that would complain about having to pay the taxes after winning a $300 million dollar lottery…
It’s interesting because I personally feel a connection between the blogs, newsletters and websites that I visit and participate in regularly. What I sometimes fail to realize is that the person on the other side of the computer may not feel the same connection or appreciate an e-mail informing them of something they didn’t ask about. Again, definitely a learning experience.
Bob Poole, of Poole Consulting Group said it best regarding unsolicited e-mail, “All you had to do was ask.” Bob also provided some excellent feedback, which is always appreciated! Check out Bob’s Marketing & Sales blog that can be found here.
I didn’t want to reply to the original e-mail because that would have compounded the problem. I also ask that you please do not reply to all if you have any feedback to respect the others in the list.
~ With sincere apologies ~
