What if it's just a genuine part of your vernacular? Is this an old-fashioned rule that no longer applies, or is it still taboo?
Question: Is it really not Ok to use the word “love” in business emails?

I'm calling bullshit. "I talked to dozens of business owner who said..." Fuck off. Personally I don't think the word love is the problem, I think it's the seller saying what they would love to do instead basing their messaging around what benefits the buyer.

100% "I would love to connect" or "I would love to set up a demo" saying love isnt the issue. Its focused on yourself

"Me me me me me" is not a compelling call to action.

yeah in my mind its not the word love its how its used, the context, and the strength of the message.
normally in an out reach message if you say something like "id love to find time to connect" its not a very strong sentence. especially if they have not asked to connect with YOU yet.
but i dont think its the word LOVE its probably the fact that you have not created a good enough reason for them to connect with you yet

I use it many times during my call or emails and haven’t faced any issues.

Single words are rarely the issue. It's the whole message.
@Notmyrealnameput it well.

I personally don't see an issue with using "love". I just find there are better ways to get your message across without using it
