    Great info. Just signed up to big response after listening to the podcast. My company has not really focused much time around email marketing but after hearing your podcast I thought why not today!

    Thanks

    I enjoyed your podcast. I am a business analyst. I recommend you slow your rate of speech; for those listeners, English is their second or third language. Vary it between 90 and a 150 words a minute.

    Respectfully yours,
