Firing The Man

Cheapest Way to Get High Converting Emails with Adam Robinson from Retention.com Part 1


Listen Later

Adam is the Founder and CEO of Retention.com (formerly Getemails) which he's bootstrapped to 14m ARR in 2 ½ years with six people. Retention.com is an identity resolution service that has the ability to identify one-third of your anonymous website traffic so you can market to those potential customers. Yes, read that sentence again, it’s magical. Prior to Retention, Adam was the founder/CEO of Robly Email Marketing, which was bootstrapped and he exited for 8 figures to private equity in 2020.


This is a two-part episode where Adam talks us through a revolutionary way to get quality email addresses and the legalities behind them. Let’s get started.
