How to Help Clients Understand Their Inbox Health

Ever wished you had a tool to help clients see the impact of their poor email habits? Here’s some applied research we conducted at 2Time Labs that might help.

In this series of three episodes, I work with Dr. Michael Einstein to derive a reasonable way to estimate email health.
