About
Attention all marketers and salespeople: before you hit 'send' or dial my number, please take note that my inbox and voicemail are sacred spaces reserved for only the most valuable and relevant communications. In other words, if you're not offering a unicorn or a pot of gold, don't bother. But if you still want to reach me, don't bother with the unsolicited emails or phone calls. Instead, take a hint from the old saying 'if you want something done right, do it yourself.' I'll be the one making the calls, thank you very much. #InitiativeTakersWelcome #NoColdCalls #NoSpam #QualityOverQuantity
