We never even tried email marketing at my current company. At my previous one we had a lot of issues (boss didn't believe that spamassassin would block our efforts, he was wrong (we weren't initially using an email marketing platform)). Now I am using Waalaxy, which does linkedin and email prospecting (I only use Linkedin). Since I rarely accept unexpected connection requests myself, I was quite surprised at the effectiveness of Waalaxy, about 10% of connections requests accepted out of 1000 sent, several meetings booked, now doing phone followup on the remainder of connections.
