Can’t get another company's attention? You’re not alone

Hey folks, sharing a post I wrote today. Never have shared my writing publicly, so please provide some criticism in that regard.

The short (maybe obvious) story here is: our inboxes are flooded on email & LinkedIn, because our contact information is easily accessible, messaging + email is easily scalable, & businesses have a decent ROI from email/message-based marketing. The end result is a ton of noise.

As a plug, I posted this on my startup's blog. We'd like to cut through this communication saturation. If you're interested: https://trypare.com.

Let me know what you think?

It is unclear to me how this solves the problem you're looking to solve.

Thanks for the feedback. In the product, we'd like companies to approve/reject who they speak with (mutual for approvals), so that unsolicited communication doesn't impede operations. Thoughts?

Again, I don't think that's clear at all from your marketing pages. It ends with "The end result of all of this is more emails and messages and a harder time discerning what's significant."

It isn't clear to me if this is targeted to the business owner or the 3rd party firm. Working at a startup, I want to make choices quickly, but this seems to further obscure the relationship and deal.

Thanks for this feedback! I agree with your assessment. Will be changing things shortly. :-)
