What's In Your Inbox?

Greetings Grasshopper!

Prepare yourself for a small rant.

The following is an email currently in my inbox. I have never heard of this person, their company, or their service.

Hello RJ,

Would you like to have a system to get you 2-3 clients a month through Email and LinkedIn?

We have a system that we set up for B2B founders to help you:

-Contact 1,000 leads a day.
-Book 3-5 appointments a week
-Get 2-3 high ticket clients a month.
-2X to 10X your revenue to scale your business.

We'll integrate this system in your business and get you a trained virtual assistant you can hire for $5 per hour so you can delegate the entire process.

Is this worth a chat?


Best regards,
Kim *****
Program Director @ ******** *******
PS: Please reply "No thanks" if you don't want to be messaged again.

I was feeling a bit snarky that day. I warmed up my fingers and wrote back:

How should I reply if I didn’t want to be messaged in the first place?

I said throw those into the fire, Engelbart. (My new office assistant. I'm not sure he's gonna work out.)

Anywaaay. I was going to go into each and every point about why that email is so rotten. Then it occurred to me - why not make this an all play?

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to hit reply and write me back. Answer the question: what is the worst thing about that particular slice of Spam?

Spam. It's what's for dinner.

While you're pondering your answer...

I use something called Sanebox to keep my inbox clean. I've saved hundreds of dollars on impulse spending and many hours of distraction by using this. There's a great free account, and if you need to upgrade to a paid, it's not that much.

That's not an affiliate link. I just want you to have more time and focus back in your day.

All right, I'm getting back to work. And looking forward to your replies.
