    251 - The Three Emails B2B Should Be Sending

    Lately, I've been thinking about email newsletters. I paused my own newsletter back in March because I was like "is this thing even working?" Turns out it is (builds trust, brings clients) so I'll be bringing it back, but I wanted to talk to an expert, learn about what's working, and ask my email questions. Enter: Marc Thomas. Marc has led Growth at various companies and currently helps $1M-$10M ARR SaaS companies with lifecycle marketing. This was supposed to be just a casual conversation but there were so many AHA moments that I couldn't just keep this to myself.
