Unsolicited Navigation
So last week I sent 14 emails to firms (suspects) where their receptionist told me they had a ‘no names policy’. My email was sent either to a specified address given to me by said first-line answerer, or one I had to get off their website. Typically, these addresses start with ‘info@…’
I thought I stated my case in a polite and professional manner. Simply mentioning I was aware of their ‘no names policy’ and requesting how I’d best provide solicited information, given what I wanted to propose.
I received one response.
And that response was both impolite and slammed the door shut in my face. Well done Britain, Go The UK.
Next tactic starts today….
