Ready? Let’s talk about email with Dillana Lim!

The best email you received today:

Sales update on how the team did for the prior month.

The last email you sent:

A note confirming an interview.

Your biggest email pet peeve:

People responding to an email without reading the full content of it.

How often do you check your email?

I have notifications set, so I know what needs immediate attention versus what can sit for later.

The word or phrase you most use in your emails:

“Thanks!”

The best thing about sending a newsletter:

Keeps everyone up to date on the latest and greatest news in one place.

If you were to email any famous person, who would it be – and why?

Paul McCartney. I just watched “Get Back” and would like to understand how he continues to maintain his creativity, energy, and relevancy – as an 80-year old!

Who are the people you don’t email enough?

Friends from high school.

The newsletters you look forward to the most:

Anything from SaaStr or Tomasz Tunguz.

An email you’d be happy to get: 

Kudos for our employees or products.

To inbox zero or to not inbox zero?

Not inbox zero.

No. 1 reason why you unsubscribe:

The content is no longer relevant, or they got their targeting wrong.

The biggest no-no in an email campaign:

Wasting a recipient’s time.

The best way to grow your email list:

Create compelling content and share it with the right audience. Make sure your recipients are segmented properly and ensure your content is targeted.

One thing that should change about email:

A way to automate forwarding, reply and deletion not based on sender or recipient, but based on message content.

A brand email you always open:

I open a lot of emails from NextDoor. The headlines are great (lots of coyote sightings!) and I always learn something new about my neighborhood.

What do you most love about email?

It is useful for conveying both short messages and long, thoughtful notes. Also, I can stay updated – both personally and professionally – everywhere I am.
