Well, it’s officially been a year since I started this email list, and I wanted to share some thoughts on this anniversary.
Firstly, I started this email list because I wanted to give back. Among many perks, the flexibility of the Salesforce ecosystem allowed me to build my dream lifestyle.
10 years ago, I decided I was tired of suffering through Montreal’s cold winters. So I searched for a career that allowed me to work anywhere in the world. And whenever I traveled, I asked myself, “Could I live here?”
Today, I still live in Montreal during the summers, as my family and friends are there. But in winters, I’m now in the south of Spain. I’m very thankful to Salesforce for that.
Secondly, Salesforce is so large that it’s impossible to know all of it. Sharing knowledge is one of the best ways to learn, and I’m here to help you in that regard. Plus keeping these emails short and yet still valuable is a fun challenge. Note: this email is an exception 😉
Thirdly, I also wanted a more direct relationship with you, dear reader, than through social platforms and other communities. Those are great, but sending emails is much more personal. I also respond to everyone that replies to my emails, which allows one-on-one conversations.
Finally, here are some metrics:
- 431 total subscribers
- 63.11% average open rate
- 2.91% average click rate
- 21,847 emails sent
The takeaway
Thank you for joining me on this journey of knowledge sharing, thought exploration, and conversations about travel and working remotely.
I look forward to another year of high-valued content. And if you have a topic you’d like to hear about, please let me know!
