A little help please?

Published 12 months ago • 1 min read

How clean is your email list?

It's likely not as clean as you think, and that's gonna be costing you big.

A couple of days back I was discussing the difficulties with email marketing with my wife.

How Google in particular love sending this to junk or promo folders, meaning they never get read.

She checked her own promotions tab and found hundreds fo emails from brands she likes that she'd missed cause who checks the promo tab?

Anyway, I've noticed my email engagement dipping so started looking into why.

After an email from an email pro (Jason Resnick), I used a tool called GlockApps to check my email and, it ain't good.

Across the various email services like GMail, only half put my email in the primary inbox.

Not good at all.

So I'm looking at fixing that. A few things that would help is if you could...

  • Whitelist emails from @growthmodels.co
  • Drag this to your primary inbox (if it's not there already)
  • Hit reply and send a response with any info or content to me.

This should help improve deliverability and ensure more folk get to see this message.

Self-serving I know, but I'd really appreciate it.

I'll also be following the other recommendations I have from GlockApps.

If you want to check your deliverabilty, head to Glockapps, sign up, and follow their steps for the proxy check.

Don't worry, you can do this for free.

You'll get a cool report on how to land in the main inbox.

Anything else, let me know.

P.S. once more, if you could please...

  • Whitelist emails from @growthmodels.co
  • Drag this to your primary inbox (if it's not there already)
  • Hit reply and send any response to me.

P.S.

Want a little more direct help from me? Here's a few ways I could help out.

Yesterday I mentioned "The Thread." That invisible line connecting your first ad or cold outreach to the moment a client signs a contract for the big thing. And when you're getting fewer sales for the "big thing", most founders think the solution is to simply add "more." More leads. More SDRs. More ad spend. But if your "Thread" is broken, "More" is just an expensive way to realise your system is leaking. I mean, if you've got a bucket with no bottom, throwing more water in the top isn't...

I’m starting the outreach for a new business venture today. Most people at this stage do the 'tactical' thing... They buy a list Hire a virtual assistant to spam LinkedIn asking for a call or promoting the offer And hope for a 1% reply rate. A huge waste of capital and time. With the new venture, I've spent the last week building out the architecture behind the offer. I’ve been mapping the 'Thread' that connects the first touchpoint to the final contract. Most businesses, even those doing...

I’m curious... What AI are you actually using? Or are you just "collecting" subscriptions? We’ve been debating this in GM+ lately because, frankly, the shine has worn off OpenAI for me. To give you some context, I’ve been an OpenAI power user since the start. But the 5.2 release? It’s woeful. I spend more time arguing with the "Custom GPTs" than I do getting actual work done. I guess they told it to stop being so sycophantic, now it's like a petulant little kid who doesn't like when you tell...
