Harsh subject line, ain’t it?
Maybe it even makes me sound like a total “a-hole”?
I suppose it does.
But don’t worry — the truth is, I rarely ever ignore emails. Even when there’s 200+ piled up in my inbox (a typical morning), I read ALL subscriber comments.
Except… when meeting the criteria below.
Yes, dear one, it’s true.
There are some emails I delete on sight.
And, in some cases, manually unsubscribe the sender!
(To put them out of my misery…)
Why would I do this?
Well, here are a few reasons:
- Questions/comments that are not clear or make no sense
- Sending me a form email with a JV pitch (Ugh)
- Mindless negativity
- Not getting to the point
- Writing in one giant paragraph (too hard to read)
- Whining about getting too many emails (I’m always amused by people who sign up for DAILY email tips and then complain about getting daily emails. Duh…)
Anyway, these are just a few reasons.
And you know what?
Now that I think about it, some of the above are not only my criteria for deleting or ignoring emails — they’re your prospects‘ reasons for doing it, too.
Just something to think about.
But fear ye not, Batman.
