Plus avoiding spam traps, setting up an effective, automated welcome series, & how to design like a pro
This Sunday is International Friendship Day.
Some of you may now be thinking: "Ah, cool. Time for me to dust off that refer-a-friend campaign and milk the day for all it's worth." And then you crack your knuckles and wink at yourself in the mirror.
But what if you take that same initiative and winking energy and put it towards an actual friend? Whether it has been 3 days or 3 years, a friend is going to make you feel much better than any ol' keyboard this weekend.
Send your friend a quick note - call them, beep them, X them (is that what Elon wants us to call tweeting now?), send them a letter in the mail, or make a new friend today in honor of the international holiday.
And when you can get back to work on Monday, here are some friendship emails you can use as inspo. | |

That's it for this week. How'd we do?
Honestly, we've been loving the responses to our newsletter bets. If you are one of the 812 people who joined this week and this is new to you, this is where the RGE team throws in some cash to see if they can guess the most popular answer. And I tend to lose every time.
For the last one, the most thing missed about going into an office was not the spontaneous water-cooler conversations (that came in third) or collaborating (that was second), but was the working lunches.
As for our next bet, tell us what your preferred pet would be (real or imaginary). Are you a cat person? A dog person? A narwhal person? Let's see if I lose more money on this one. | |
