Are You a Spammer? How Mass Emailing your Contacts Hurts You Author: Lavie Margolin, Career Coach It is so tempting to communicate in a mass email format over LinkedIn and Facebook. We are looking for help finding a job so why not email everyone the same message at once? Mass emails will be seen for what they are: mass emails. One of the keys to networking is connecting on a one on one level and having a conversation. Once you take the communication from a conversation to a loud speaker broadcast, the strength of that message is lost. The more mass emails that your network receives; the more likely they are to be ignored. It is OK to send a mass email from time to time but use it sparingly. I do it about three times a year- in fact, I plan to send one in a week or two, when it is an extra special initiative I am working on (such as a major update to my website or a book that I have coming out) and I want to get the word out to a large group at once. When I do send out
mass emails, I always plan to follow up with individualized messages
later. If someone in your network gets a mass message too
frequently, they will begin to ignore even individualized emails
from you. Manage your communications effectively for the greatest
chance for success.
