or does this increase the chance of going to Spam?

i'm not a fan of this and i do think it would increase spam chances. also might not download in many people's emails so there would just be a giant X in your email signature

Never been a fan of it either. VP of Sales thought it would be a good idea.

Trying to post more on Linkedin. Thinking maybe this would help prospects better recognize/stand out from the crowd. 

At the same time, if your email is good - who cares about the headshot

Thanks for your feedback!

I don't like it. Feels awkward.

I personally do use a headshot in my email signature, and also put in logos of clients that I've closed + a testimonial from a customer. It's a chance for me to market myself to the buyer.

Why waste the opportunity?

as a fat woman hell no. if they look me up on linkedin fine, but too many people have preconceptions about fat people for me to just put that out there.

Might work well if you’re female and selling software though

Also works if you’re a male selling software for HR. They are mostly women and to be honest, I have had some no’s turn into yes once they see my picture lol

I personally dont like it but I have some beautiful colleagues and they say that it helps them increase response rates from males *shrugs*

I do it, but there’s some good outlook templates to make it less obnoxious. 

As I’ve said many times, I’ve had too much plastic surgery to not monetize it.

Not a fan, but it depends on what you’re selling, and who you are selling to. I think if you’re aware of that it can be more advantageous than not

Love the idea. I got a headshot in my resume so might as well put one in my email signature

I personally find it awkward. One of our main clients use these and for whatever reason when responding to one of them, their headshot attaches to the email. So 10 emails into the thread and we’ve got like 4 of their headshots automatically attached to our replies.

Don’t think it’s necessary and more likely to hit a filter.

Wouldn't care much. I don't see any upside to it so would keep it simple

Personally not with this, could add value though, to help gain a positive outlook while cold emailing!

It is going to be a no. The more graphics you and link you add to your signature to more likely it will go to the spam folder. 
Just make sure you have a big smile on your LinkedIn profile and connect with your prospects and clients.
