Prob a super dumb question but I know reps can get our emails and general contact info from various places like LinkedIn but do they just guess what accounts someone may or may not be on? I get cold emails almost daily for an account I’m not on. I reply, tell them thank you for your email but I don’t work on XX account and give them the correct contact, but no matter what I always get cold emails for this same account that I’m not on. Where are they getting this information?

Yes and there are web tools like Constant Contact and others.

If you are listed in places like Winmo with old or incorrect data then that may be the problem. You can contact winmo to ask, or ask someone who has an account to check for you and then that person can get thr info corrected in the system with Winmo. Happy to help if you send me a DM.

How do I get myself off of these sites or update so they have correct information?

I would say this is similar to ad data in general. You might that one person but the company that is supplying those contacts is not getting notified. Your name is tethered to an account for whatever reason, and it has not changed.

I think data companies get the matching criteria wrong all the time. And even if they get it right, the data that’s linking things could be wrong…like in your case.

The cold emails are on purpose. They learn what you do work on and now they have the names of contacts for other business.

Most likely connected somewhere to the wrong account or maybe something you used to work on and no longer do. Kudos to you for passing along people to the right contact! We often don’t get it right despite a lack of trying and get left in the void of no response and wondering if maybe the note got lost in the shuffle or filtered out.

What are some easy to make, low stress holiday meals for a school holiday staff party? I was "volunteered" by our principal to set it up this year (🙄). I'm making decorated sugar cookies but kind of drawing a blank when it comes to savory dishes. Bonus points if you have any adult holiday themed games or fun drinks to suggest! It's off school property and there will be a bar (thank god), for context.

Hello, I recently was reached out to by an in-house recruiter at a similar but slightly different company than the one I currently work for. The recruiter provided a base range and an OTE range. The lower end of that range is what I am currently making. The higher end of that range is almost 200k more than my current comp. The role is almost identical. I wasn’t looking to move, but that higher end range would set my family up very nicely for our goals. But I am happy at my current company. Help?

Hi everyone, I am getting ready for a job interview, and need to create a media plan. I was hoping someone can help me with the next task: basically, I need to create inventory recommendation based on past performance. What I am very confused about is that they gave me Booked Impressions (=4M), but in the task it says I should assume there is unlimited inventory. Am I supposed to use this 4M only to calculate spend, ROAS, etc., but can actually have unlimited allocated impressions? Thank you!
