Edited Transcript:

Michael: The only real thing I want to talk about today is the lists. I've added people to my database since we made that list, since we revised it and took people's names off. Some people have asked me to remove their names but they aren't able to unsubscribe. What I like the idea of doing is being able to send people the latest list - but in order to do that, I have to go through the better part of 5,000 people in my database, it's impossible. I don't know what I'm asking you but...is there any way this can be made easier?

Dan: So, you're looking for a better way to weed out people you don't want to send emails to. What do you use now to keep all of your contacts together?

Michael: Outlook

Dan: I'm thinking of creating a new list, a new spreadsheet so I can put all the new contacts you receive in there. And then taking them from Outlook and putting them in a new Excel sheet.

Michael: I think what we need is a brand new list and then going forward creating a list of any new addresses that I want to add. The way I check is when I receive the list from Tanya, I look at that list to see who opened it. If you send to me the list you are currently using for the send out, then I am going to use that as my benchmark for the new list I'm going to create. In the next month or so I will send you a new list for a send out.

Dan: I'm just glad you're still adding people to the list.

Michael: Alright beautiful. Good man.
