If your numbers look incredible, the bots are probably flattering you, and if they look terrible, you have a real deliverability or content problem hiding underneath. It is a fast, funny run through the zero-click era and why sending more email is not the crime people make it out to be.ㅤBest Moments:(02:45) Roughly 95% of clicks can be bot activity, and a honeypot link in the newsletter proved it.(03:25) Not a single one of your email metrics is accurate, and it keeps getting worse.(04:44) If a contact opens every email you ever sent, that is not a superfan, it is bots wrecking your lead scores.(05:21) Welcome to the zero-click era, where the real goal is making things people actually want to share.(06:32) No-agenda marketing builds equity in someone's brain long before they are ready to buy.(08:29) Relevancy is married to frequency, so the more relevant you are, the more often you can send.

The real payoff here is a tactic most marketers are too nervous to run: hitting your database twice in a single day. Stick around for why the angry opt-outs are worth it, and the humbling reminder that almost nobody remembers your messaging as well as you think they do.ㅤFollow Daniel on LinkedIn and check out The Marketing Millennials podcast for sharp, no-fluff marketing insights.

Most teams roll out the VIP treatment for anyone who already swiped a card, then quietly ignore the people circling the website five times in a week. Jay Schwedelson and Daniel Murray make the case that your loudest buying signals are sitting in segments you probably never bothered to build, hiding in plain sight while you fuss over the folks who already converted. There is also a detour into bikini-store career advice and the structural horrors of the Rhode Island accent, so adjust your expectations accordingly.ㅤFollow Daniel on LinkedIn and check out The Marketing Millennials podcast for sharp, no-fluff marketing insights.
