If you’re looking for new business, don’t send unsolicited emails
Over the last few months, I have been inundated with emails from offshore web development companies suggesting we outsource work to them. The emails usually start "Hi" or "Dear Sir/Madam". None of the emails are addressed to me as none of these companies have bothered to find out what my name is. Several of the companies have sent me repeated emails during the last few weeks that say "awaiting your response", clearly surprised that I haven’t replied – Well, I’m not going to reply because I don’t respond to unsolicited emails. Surprisingly, one of the companies spamming me claimed to be an ISO9001 registered company.
