A Creepy Stalker Wants My Address

Why it sucks.

We all like to receive gifts but a random gift, from someone you’ve never met before, who wants your mailing address, is just super creepy. Don’t be super creepy.

🚫 Don’t fish for personal information you don’t have. It’s really weird and creepy.

🚫 Don’t use words like “authentic” or “transparent” when the overall tone of your sales pitch is anything but.

🚫 Don’t destroy your credibility by showing you have no clue about the contents of the email. Sure, my mailing address is LA, California.

✅ Make use of “gifts” sparingly, and only after you have established credibility. No one wants some creeper sending them anything.
