White-Listing
Use White-listing to Make Sure You Get All "Natural Selling" Emails.
Unsolicited, unwanted advertising e-mail, commonly known as "spam",
has become a big problem. It's reached such proportions that most
e-mail services and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have put some
sort of blocking or filtering system in place or begun relying on
self-proclaimed blacklists to tell the good guys from the bad.
The format and language in the "Oliver's Twist on Selling" newsletter
sometimes causes it to be filtered out as spam, even though we never
send unsolicited email. In many cases the intended recipient of the
email is not notified and neither are we the sender that the email
didn't get through.
There is something you can do to keep your "Oliver's Twist on Selling"
newsletter in your inbox each week. You can fight the blacklists with
a "white-list". White-list us now, before your delivery is
interrupted.
Of course, every e-mail system is different. Below are instructions
for some of the more popular ones. If yours isn't here, please contact
your ISP's customer service folks for their instructions. (Forward the
answer to us, and we might add it!)
* One vital thing you can do that helps no matter what e-mail
system you're using is this: add the address in the "From" line of
your most recent "Oliver's Twist on Selling" email to your address book. It
will be this:
* info@naturalselling.com
