Also with third party tools now available for reputation checks (Habeas/Return Path) reviewing the mailing history and sources for companies are easier then ever to find and evaluate. It's like having an impartial point of view into the mailer's practices.
The trick is getting your sales people to say "No" to business once and a while.]]>Comment on Is Ken Magill Reading My Mind or My Blog?tag:fromline.com,2008-05-21:1062743Pam Scott Taylor2008-05-21T16:08:45Z2008-05-21T16:08:45ZComment on A Wake Up Call For Email Marketing Newbiestag:fromline.com,2008-04-04:944338Ryanhttp://webrehash.com2008-06-08T13:16:21Z2008-04-04T12:58:32Z http://www.sitepoint.com/launch/c6ac756/3/84]]>Comment on Email Tries to Undermine Social Networking in Politicstag:fromline.com,2008-03-21:909680Ranjit Mathodahttp://mathoda.com2008-06-08T13:17:22Z2008-03-21T12:18:08Zhttp://mathoda.com/archives/189]]>Comment on What Ever Happened To Email Formalities?tag:fromline.com,2008-01-27:793362Amber2008-01-27T21:23:30Z2008-01-27T21:23:30Z I agree with you. Most emails have rude or inconsiderate content, and as a CEO, I believe that whoever emails you should have a sense of respect! I'm sure that many business leaders wonder if the world today is becoming more arrogant each year. However, I do not believe that the number of ignorant people are growing, just that we are growing in more contact with these people. I am merely a student in Texas, and if I were in your position, I would feel the urge to simply reply to those emails, "Please re-write this in a more formal manner. Perhaps a greeting and farewell would satisfy..." Anyway, thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope it helps alleviate some anger that may bottle up from those type of emails you receive everyday.

I also believe people are becoming more aware of web tracking and information gathering, so they are reluctant to type their friend's address into a website's form.]]>
