According to [industry research](), the average worker spends 28% of their workweek managing email. Think about that for a second. That's over 10 hours a week gone—poof!—just managing your inbox. And you know what’s even worse? Most of those emails are unsolicited sales pitches that belong in the trash. - They derail your focus. - They interrupt your workflow. - They increase your stress levels. You've got important work to do, goals to crush, and dreams to chase. So why are you letting cold emailers dictate your schedule? ## The Real Cost of Cold Email Spam Let’s talk dollars and cents. Every minute you spend dealing with spam is a minute you could be dedicating to high-value activities.
