Great post OP. The power of email is vastly under-rated. I think this is because email is perceived as unsexy and unsophisticated.

Let’s face it, a lot of marketing people want to come up with exceptional “grand ideas” that will propel a company to exponential growth. When in reality, it’s boring old email that does this job!

One sign of a really well managed company is one that makes really hard decisions even when it’s really performing well.
