3 Tips To Keep In Mind When Making Your Next Email Service Provider RFP
As part of Solutions Review's Premium Content Series-a collection of contributed columns written by industry experts in maturing software categories-Jeff Haws, the Senior Content Marketing Manager of MessageGears, shares some tips to keep in mind when preparing for your next email service provider RFP.
Ah, the noble RFP - an acronym that's so well known in email marketing that it barely needs an introduction. To be sure, we're talking about the Request For Proposal-the document marketers write and distribute to potential vendors that 'invite' them to audition for their business. RFPs have long been a staple in selecting an email service provider (ESP). Every company needs one-yet every company's needs vary. And while we may think of email as a commodity channel, there are a ton of ESPs - and they are not all the same.

Email Fraud In 2022: What You Need To Know
With how much of our personal and professional lives take place online, it becomes more important each day for us to understand our vulnerability to cyberattacks.
Cybercriminals target emails, domains, and accounts in order to impersonate identities and scam consumers and businesses alike. In 2021 alone, email spoofing and phishing increased by 220% and caused $44 million in losses. It is crucial to employ defenses to protect against these attacks.

Fortunately, cybersecurity professionals are always working to mitigate the dangers of online communication and data storage. Domain-based message authentication, reporting, and conformance (DMARC) is one of the most effective protections against email attacks, when it is employed correctly. Brand Indicators for Message Identification (BIMI) adds another layer of security to business and consumer emails.

Using Event Tech To Empower Field Sales Marketers
Field marketing teams often use video conferencing platforms to move prospects down the funnel by demonstrating products and expertise online.
But the attendee experience can be vastly elevated by using data-driven and customizable event tech platforms that prove ROI.

Join Mike Piddock and guest speakers on 18 August as they explore the myriad ways event tech platforms can help field marketing teams drive more targeted quality leads, including:

  • Building better branded experiences
  • Using engagement tools that encourage participation
  • Access to layers of data for lead scoring and qualification
  • Integrations with the MarTech stack
  • Improved customer relationships

Mike Piddock is the Founder and CEO of Glisser. Mike - a former CMO - created the company when he realised that live events and conferences were a really powerful marketing channel, but one that was data-poor.

4 Avoidable Mistakes Entrepreneurs Make When Assembling Their Sales Team
Every Founder knows how crucial sales and sales teams are to the success and future path of a startup company.
That's why so many times, it is the primary role (besides fundraising) the CEO takes on in the early days of any company.

Finding prospects, making connections, responding to RFPs, the list goes on and on. Eventually this becomes unsustainable and the Founder is ready to pass the baton.

Those early sales hires are critical to the trajectory of the company and provide critical customer feedback as the product or services develop. Make the wrong hire and the results can be devastating.
