5 Key Takeaways:

– Email is not dead. It’s still a useful tool and a great way to reach people.

– If your content is not personally relevant to your consumers, they’re going to tune out. 

– Everyone thinks they are a marketer because marketing gets a lot of exposure to the world. You need to learn to filter out the noise while still listening to the voices that really matter.

– “One of the most untapped treasure troves of intelligence about customer insights in a company is the sales team.” – Tara-Nicholle Nelson

– “I think that we’re all superheroes. I think that human beings all have the ability to have a thought or an idea about a thing that does not exist and then cause that thing to exist.” – Tara-Nicholle Nelson
