How does email impact your work in sales?

Hello everyone! I'm a student at UC San Diego, and I’m conducting interviews to learn more about how people in sales manage their emails. I'm interested in understanding your workflow and how email fits into it. Would any of you be willing to spare a few minutes for a short, informal interview? Send me a message or comment below!

Your insights will be incredibly valuable for my market research.

Thank you in advance!

Email is simply a communications tool. Nothing more nothing less.

This will be a tough sell in an anon platform.
You might want to try some people on LI.
Good luck with the project

This is an anonymous forum. Can you conduct data collection without direct interaction?
