In the old days of selling, closing was about what happens at the end of a client or prospect meeting did we get them to sign something, give us the green light, or seal the deal? The activity was about applying pressure on the buyer to make a decision NOW. Lets pause and think about how we, as buyers, feel when a person is pressuring us to make a buying decision now.

One of the biggest problems I hear consistently from my clients (even big, established companies) is that they get stuck in a sea-of-sameness and struggle to differentiate themselves from their competition. “We have a unique solution, leading technology, and an amazing, experienced team, but our customers still see us as a commodity!

Most deliverability advice looks only at email list issues and how to design, send and manage your email campaigns. However, not all deliverability problems are solved by removing inactive subscribers and spam complainers, or tunin up your email coding to avoid triggering a spam filter. Instead, seemingly unrelated business decisions can affect the wider application of your email program and undermine its deliverability.

This question was posed in an email I received recently. It struck me, for a number of reasons. People who know me well, sometimes ask, “Dave, why do your work so hard! You certainly don’t need the money, but you continue to be one of the busiest people I know. What causes you to keep it up? Why don’t you take more time off?” The response has been the same over all the years people have asked that question.

“You’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t.” This expression applies when trying to create and execute personalized campaigns. If you go too deep into understanding prospects’ or customers’ needs and preferences, you can’t scale the campaign. If you go too shallow, then the message lacks relevance and connection to buyers. It’s a challenge we’ve faced while working with clients over the years.
