If you're growing a business like me (I'm growing @itsMastrat), then you might be running into challenges hiring the right candidates. I hope this single thought helps: Our most important criteria when hiring a candidate? Their response to the any variation of this question:

Hi @klaviyo please calm down.

Is it me, or is this way too expensive? With taxes it’s almost $20

One of the greatest benefits brands have working with agencies is how much benefit they can negotiate from tech partners on behalf of their brands. Shoutout to @dataships for demonstrating the true spirit of partnership with their transparent and flexible pricing.

Man Realtors are different.

Missed @Shopify #editionsdev due to an emergency but happy to be at @maroon5 at @budweiserstage Thanks @AmexCanada for the hook up

Tyler from Gorgias, Megan Blissick from Orita, Ash from Tappcart and Blair just giving away their years of experience about partnerships. This is one of the most honest and transparent panels. More tech partners need to have honest conversations like this with their agencies. #preditions

Pre/ditions afternoon edition! Talking about partnerships. Thanks to everyone that made this happen. And special shoutout to Franco Varriano from @gadget_dev for the last minute accommodation. #preditions

Looking forward to Pre/ditions while I represent @itsMastrat. Shoutout to team @gadget_dev and Franco for making it happen for us. Almost didn’t make it! #editions_dev

Unpopular opinion - giving everyone your Calendly link equates to giving others control over your time. If they are a no show, you've basically had a significant opportunity cost materialize as a loss (depending on what $ value you put on your time). Guard your time!

Maaaaan!!! Ain't NOTHING like love from a client! So many of our recently new clients have come to us because they've been facing deliverability issues. It's a lot harder to mitigate now than it was 3 years ago, but we've been breathing and living deliverability since 2017 - long before the DTC email agency world even knew what that word was. In fact, deliverability is at the core of everything we do. If your brand, or a brand you know is suffering from spam complaints, poor inbox placement and dip in open rates, then my team and I will be happy to help.

Man I think I’ve flown 12 carriers in my life. Everything from domestic to international. At least one country in each continent, most of them several times. I can with confidence say that @AirCanada never fails to disappoint. Canada needs more national carriers.

Sucks that I’m missing this, but I’m sure it’ll be a success!
