What if everything your subscribers are telling you… is wrong?

It sounds extreme, but it happens more often than you think. People on your email list will give feedback that feels helpful, polite, and even reasonable. But if you follow it without question, you could quietly hurt your business.

This all started with a simple situation from the transcript. A subscriber told Simon that he was sending too many emails and asked if he could send fewer. On the surface, it sounds fair. It sounds like something you should listen to.

But underneath, it reveals a much bigger problem.

Sometimes, your email list is lying to you.
