I receive an email:<\/p>\n
\nBlue Marble has been named Global Payroll Provider of the Year! I would love the chance to speak with about how that can help you.<\/em><\/p>\n
Blue Marble has built a very unique product unifying global payroll while offering an API and SSO integration with Global HRIS\u2019s. <\/em><\/p>\n
Below are a few great things this brings you:\u2026.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
I reply:<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\nDon\u2019t email me again.Forwarding your email to the FCC Spam Repository.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
John emails me again:<\/p>\n
\nAdam, it was a personal email that I sent to you, not spam.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
John\u2019s sales email about a payroll solution is a personal email sent to my work address? and what part of \u201cdon\u2019t email me again\u201d does John not understand?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Good luck with your career in sales.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Update: I wanted to add that I have made many posts over the years calling out solicitors. These people think they can blanket-email thousands of people without any recourse at all. While the FCC rarely doles out fines to individual companies or people, at the very least, I can pass on the annoyance I get when someone I never never met before invades my Inbox which to me is sacred space and heavily managed to sell things that have nothing to do with my job title. Why would I even need to hear about payroll solutions? John wasted my time which costs me and my company money. This is why I post these on the blog.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Minutes Later from\u00a0Tom Scaramellino\u00a0CEO of\u00a0TallyGo<\/p>\n
\nHey there,<\/em><\/p>\n
I was just checking out your app and noticed it has a mapping component. Google and Mapbox just jacked their prices, so lots of folks are ticked off and looking for alternatives.<\/em><\/p>\n
FWIW, we\u2019ve got a mapping and turn-by-turn SDK for iOS, Android, and Web. Much less expensive and much easier to use than Google and even Mapbox, who also just raised their prices.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Doesn\u2019t Tom know that I work for a mapping company?\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I receive an email: Blue Marble has been named Global Payroll Provider of the Year!
