i agree.. they sent me so many follow up emails i had to unsubscribe. i can't understand how a supposedly modern software service would not understand what is appropriate email frequency.

turned me off totally.

Count me in as another lost customer. They were even calling me to try and upsell their service to the point where I started avoiding their calls.

The whole thing just felt so high pressure, spammy that I'd rather not deal with them anymore.

Ugh... as a marketing guy trying to build an awesome, lasting brand, I hate these comments. We talk about it a lot internally and do a lot of coaching to make sure we're not too aggressive. It is a balance though - growth and aspirational goals to be a meaningful long-term business coupled with wanting to be a healthy participant in our community... Sounds like on occasion we've failed.. Please know we're listening to feedback like this - it doesn't mean we're going to stop contacting people who use our product, but it does mean we care, and will work to REFINE our commercial tactics.
