Reporting/Data
21. Resources and Budget
Ask for more budget and resources
Show KPI/Revenue increase opportunities
Don’t talk about clicks, opens, or technology, the C-Suite
doesn’t care or understand in most cases.
Explain the benefit to the bottom line and conversions
Test and prove what you want you want to do so you have
proof/data to back up your plan
Show how email delivers more revenue per dollar spent
Ask for 50% more than you need, because you’ll rarely get
as much as you want.
