font-size: 20px;\">That&#8217;s very different from someone casually scrolling past one of your social media posts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 20px;\">On social media, attention is often accidental.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><b>With email, attention is intentional.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 20px;\">That changes the relationship from the very beginning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 20px;\">You no longer have to interrupt someone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 20px;\">You simply have to honor the permission they&#8217;ve already given you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 20px;\">That&#8217;s one reason I don&#8217;t believe every email has to sell something.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;

font-size: 20px;\">Before sending your next email, ask yourself:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Does this respect the permission my reader gave me?&#8221;<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 20px;\">If the answer is yes, you&#8217;re strengthening the relationship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 20px;\">If the answer is no, revise the email until it feels like something you&#8217;d appreciate receiving yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #c86600;\"><b>What To Remember<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 20px;\">Permission isn&#8217;t just access.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 20px;\">It&#8217;s your responsibility.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;
