Let’s Talk About Email: Andrea Loubier

We’re thrilled to have Andrea Loubier back on the blog! The CEO of Mailbird tells us what her email pet peeves are, how often she checks her inbox, and what she would change about email. Together with her team, she’s already improving email management for more than two million people around the world.

Mailbird – which integrates with ZeroBounce – has recently launched 12 new features, so we talked about that, too. But first…

Let’s talk about email with Andrea Loubier!

The best email you received today:

An engagement report showing that our company is above the industry benchmark for employee engagement and happiness. Also, an email from our first paying customer saying how much they are still loving Mailbird, and how they’ve gotten their colleagues on it, too.

The last email you sent:

A report with actionable next steps on accounting and recruiting efforts as we grow the Mailbird team.

The most intriguing subject line you’ve ever seen:

“We’d like to buy Mailbird.”

Your biggest email pet peeve:

When people use email like chat or when they try to have a long back and forth conversation over email. Sometimes it’s great to pick up a phone and just have an actual discussion, then use email to summarize the discussion. I’m a big fan of efficiency and proper email usage at Mailbird.

How often do you check your email?

Two times per day, as I like to be efficient and bulk manage emails as a practice of focus and time management.

The word or phrase you most use in your emails:

“What do you think?”

If you could email any famous person, who would it be – and why?

Bill Gates, to find out what he accomplishes during Think Week and to find out what the future of Microsoft will be.

The newsletter you look forward to the most:

Mailbird business growth and progress updates.

An email you wish you’d never sent:

Response to a marketing email that ended up being a waste of time.

An email you’d be happy to get: 

An email from a Mailbird customer sharing how much Mailbird is improving their life in helping them build a healthy relationship with email.

To inbox zero or to not inbox zero?

To as close to inbox zero as you can get. It’s not the goal but a method of staying organized with information exchange and important actionable next steps.

No. 1 reason why you unsubscribe:

I want less email in my inbox.

Biggest no-no in an email campaign:

Having terrible grammar or not making it feel relevant or personal. Most importantly, emailing people who are not subscribed to receive your emails.

The best way to grow your email list:

Marketing, SEO and referrals.

One thing that should change about email:

The negative emotional response that inevitably comes with email management. We want less, we want it to bring us joy, we want it to be efficient and productive.

A brand email you always open:

What do you most love about email?

That it’s the greatest invention since the internet. It has innovated the way in which we communicate online and supports the growing trend of remote work – this is the future!
