Strategic Recruiting: Errors in Personalization are Not OK
Today I received an email asking me to buy someone’s services. They went to the trouble of personalizing their email pitch by using my name – it was even spelled correctly. All great until I go to the second sentence where they referenced my company, “XXX Bank”. Um, no, I do not work there and I don’t work in anything related to banking. So just like that, they lost all credibility before I even gave them a chance. No clue what their offer was because I automatically tuned out.
