Notas del editor

  1. It is perfect timing for PebbleStorm, because business has changed, and it will never be the same
  2. BRENT
  3. Be overly specific about your targets It doesn’t matter how many people you talk to if they are the wrong ones!
  4. BRENT
  5. Short and clear explanation of why you’re emailing the target. Credibility statement What kind of response rate do you think you can get from CEOs and other C-level execs? 1%? 2%? Try 9%.
