What Is A DKIM Signature?
Back in 2020, there was a roaring rise of email as the preferred method of communication worldwide.

The pandemic switched logistics to the digital arena, and although things are returning to normal, email's practicality has stuck with many companies. That's why it makes sense for the cybersecurity industry to focus its efforts on making email communications more secure.
DMARC has become the perfect way to authenticate email domains, but this protocol doesn't work without a DKIM signature. If you don't know about the benefits of DKIM or how it works, you can learn more in our other post...

Your Guide To The Latest Email Fraud And Identity Deception Trends
There's a high chance that you or someone you know has been impacted by email fraud or identity theft.

At the very least, you've likely received a variety of spam emails and text messages asking to provide a payment or confirm your identity.
The good news is that cybersecurity protection is constantly evolving and improving, with cybersecurity education programs preparing skilled professionals to enter the front lines against cybercrime. The less-than-good news: as cybersecurity protection evolves, so do the attack methods used to steal your personal information. Companies and organizations are often doing their best to protect customers and employees, but the threat is very real.

Assessing Your Marketing Technology Stack
According to Scott Brinker's most recent Marketing Technology Landscape, there are 9932 (and counting) solutions in the marketing technology space

Needless to say, it's easy to get excited about all the new tools available, be distracted by the newest shiny object in marketing technology, or think a new tool will automatically solve a marketing problem.
But most of the time that strategy (or lack thereof) won't work.
Our motto is always strategy first, technology second. We believe that technology needs to support your marketing strategy, not be your marketing strategy. So how do you avoid getting distracted by those 9932 tools out there and instead, get started assessing what you have and what you need to support your objectives?

6 Sales Prospecting Strategies For SDRs In Tech
Only 48% of sales development representatives (SDRs) consistently meet their sales prospecting quota of bringing in and qualifying a set number of sales-qualified leads.

This can be a combination of poor training, lack of resources, unclear instructions, or poor quota management.
When they fall behind on their quota, your sales team will fall behind with closing deals. In addition, you risk losing quality leads as the longer you wait to reach out to new leads, the less likely the lead will respond to you. The average B2B sales team takes 42 hours to follow up with a new lead. However, 38% of those leads never respond.
Learn how to speed up your SDR prospecting with more effective strategies to help your SDRs meet their quotas so you can qualify more leads.
