The ROI of Send Time Optimization

Posted by Mike Donnelly Mar 21, 2017 11:45:53 PM

Sure, send time optimization sounds cool.

Posted by Mike Donnelly Mar 21, 2017 11:38:42 PM

Posted by Mike Donnelly Mar 21, 2017 11:15:21 PM

In general, people are bombarded with email. According to research by The Radicati Group, the average business professional receives and sends 122 emails per day, while C-level executives receive 3-6 times that number.
