If you follow the tech media you would be subject to a lot of narrative biases that are completely off base – and this includes the value of email and phone calls. I’m sure you’ve heard the meme that “email is dead” – if fact if you Google it you’ll find a long list of articles that will mislead you.

Andrwe Bermudez: We were able to get a lot of data using those tools, and then latched onto their email communications. When they saw an email, they could just click here and be done, rather than having to go through the effort of logging into the system. I left in 2012, and I was one of the top 5 of the top 10.
