Why Organic Lists vs Bought Lists• Sender score – the trustworthiness of an email source. Mailbox
providers use this score to decide whether they accept or reject an email.– Based on spam reports for your domain and ratio of undeliverable emails
from your address– Low scores reduce your ability to land in your contacts’ inboxes.
• Blacklisting – prevents email servers from sending messages to email users.– bought lists can contain spam trap email addresses that do not actually
belong to a person. Their purpose is catch you sending to that email address and blacklist your email server for spamming.
– Business and commercial agencies should be especially careful as some corporate domains use spam reporting services that crack down on those email addresses that have been blacklisted.

Incorporate Collecting Emails Offline into your Workflow
• Everyone in your office should be asking for email addresses when speaking to contacts– It’s costing you money every time a prospect or
customer comes in your office/calls in and isn’t asked for their email address
– Use it as a way to look up a customer’s account– Try “Some carriers offer a discount for having an
email address on file. Which email address would you like us to use?”

Hire Temporary Help
• Students can do this while they’re in high school or while they’re getting their degree – Make sure you have a script that doesn’t include
yes or no questions– Try “What email address do you use so we can
keep you updated on insurance discounts?”

Send Out Mailers
• Use postcards – you don’t have to open them and they almost ALWAYS get read.– Can use temporary help to send these out and
sort those that come back– Enter those that come back into a drawing
