Another Spam-Folder 'Whoops!'

June 15th, 2004

If even the anti-spammers can’t get their messages delivered to the right folder, what hope do the rest of us have?

Josh Carlson of InsuranceJournal.com sent us the following snippet after he got a cold call from Habeas, the haiku email-whitelisting service.

It was your typical sales call — sales rep tries to counter prospect’s utility and price objections — but the rep didn’t give up. She offered to email more information, which Josh agreed to accept. So far, so routine.

“Her email arrived a couple minutes later, landing in my spam box,” Josh said.
