Another day, another clueless prospecting email
Here's a clearly automated email I got from a recruiter, looking to see if they could place one of their unfortunate victims with me.
Can you tell I loathe the "staffing" business?
Anyway, this thing is so full of crap it's hard to know where to start.
My company is 100% virtual, with as yet no staff - all contractors, all remote. There's no "work for us" section on my web site.
And yet, Mr. X here would like me to believe he's checked out my site for opportunities, and found someone I'd like to hire.
Here's a clue:
If you start trying to build a relationship with me by bullshitting your way into my inbox, the best you can expect from me is a cold silence. I will never trust you, and I don't do business with people I don't trust.
On the other hand, I might write a blog post publicly shaming you; if you're lucky I'll leave your name out.
Bottom line: you can't automate relationships.
