How to tell if your email list needs help.

6/11/2021

You can write the best emails in the world and it won’t make a difference if your list is wrong.

What do I mean by ‘wrong’?

They don’t need or want what you’re selling. They don’t want to hear from you. They don’t open your emails or worse – mark them as spam.

How do you know your list is bad?

Your results will be poor, for a start.

But if you aren’t sure if that’s your list’s fault, here’s a great article by Lindsay Kolowich Cox that not only gives you the warning signs of a bad list, but also how to turn it into a good one!

Lindsay’s point about buying, borrowing, or renting lists is especially important: If you bring on a new employee or partner, don’t assume you can just blend their list with yours. I worked with a number of companies in the past who’ve done this, and their results have been abysmal.

The best way to grow your list is to read this and follow the advice.
