Email List Building, Don’t Make this Costly Mistake

Email list building is a great way to stay in touch and nurture relationships with new and existing business connections. It is a privilege that is not to be abused and should only be a way to offer information and promotional material, IF FIRST, it has been requested.

So, what does that mean?

If you obtained someone’s email address from:

  1. Their business card
  2. A networking event
  3. Their mailing list YOU subscribed to
  4. Their social network profile
  5. Any online/offline communication
You DO NOT have the right to add them to YOUR mailing list…PERIOD!

If this is a common practice for you, I urge you to stop now. Allow me to me explain why this is a very unethical way of building your email list.
