I get it — it’s part of marketing, building a database, staying in touch. But honestly, I’m done with email. I hate being bombarded. I feel like I spend more time unsubscribing than receiving value...I actually can't remember the last time I received value from an email .. Business owners, what’s your take? Does email actually work for you, am I missing the point or are you with me?
