A round of Christmas greetings I've received in my business inbox...
The cheap outsourced freelancer in Mumbai...
"Happy holidays. We hope this email finds you well. I'm reaching out because we are the premier graphic design agency..."
From the bank that never got back with me:
"We look forward to serving you in 2022..."
The fake domain guy. This is my favorite:
"Merry Christmas! We have a domain for sale."
The corporate PR people on their game:
"It's the holiday season and it's been a challenging two years for small business. We've been with you every step of the way.
Thank for choosing _____________."
The fearmongers...
"Don't be left behind this tax season!"
The client who didn't plan ahead...
"I hope your holiday season is going well. Is there any chance I could get XYZ before Christmas?"
The company I never did business with...
"It's been a pleasure serving you in 2021."
The competitor...
"Wow. We've been sooooo busy this season. Thanks to everyone who has helped with our success."
🙄
The charity...
"As a business owner you know the importance of supporting community, especially during the holidays.
...Then they get to the point...
Remember, the tax season is ending."
Anyone get some particularly cringeworthy greetings this year?
Hello business nerds! Welcome home!
We want this community to be a place where you can ask hard questions and get real answers. A place where you can curse the gods in frustration and break down in tears without judgment. A place where we can turn conversations into action. A place for business owners to celebrate success and get perspective.
Keep your sales pitches for another platform. Here we get into the nitty gritty of running a business.
It seems too early, but it's not!
