Growth & Sales

What am I missing? Cold emailing strategies
A couple of quick things:- don't pitch! The goal is to start a conversation, not a conversion

• short, sweet, to the point, don't waste words
• be valuable, give value before asking for anything
• its ALL about them, not about you. Demonstrate you understand their problems/goals
  Please check out for crunchy comments.

Design & UX

How to use the 60-30-10 rule to balance your brand's color palette
The first one, 60%, is the main color of our palette and should be the most dominant. The second one, 30%, is the secondary color. It should be visible, but not as much as the primary color. The third one, 10%, is the accent color of the palette. It should be subtle and give character to a design.
