As a tech + startup girly…
This concept changed my entire mindset around tasks.

Say goodbye to email overwhelm
Your email’s piling up…it’s overwhelming admin work you don’t wanna do.
Here’s how Forage helps automatically:
Important emails are highlighted
Distracting emails are swept into a daily summary email
Clear out all your unread emails (bulk unsub) (hopefully not from my newsletter tho right? 🥺)
Apply sales tactics to your tasks
Because think about it…
You have all these objections:
Don’t have time
Don’t know where to start
Don’t have energy
It’s too boring
If you were selling something, how would you do objection handling here?
Don’t have time → takes 2 min
Don’t know where to start → just guess and go from there - make it easy
Don’t have energy → do the bare minimum (Minimum Viable Action)
Too boring → set a timer so you only suffer for that amount of time
Make it such a good offer that it’s hard to say no.
Example: my marathon training
My excuses:
I don’t wanna run in the rain
I don’t have a treadmill for indoor running
I don’t wanna go outside (it’s dark)
I don’t wanna change
I don’t have time to run 1 hr daily
Salesperson Jen doing objection handling:
Indoor running with no treadmill → just run in circles in my house
Don’t wanna change → run in my PJs
Only run for like 2 min
So that’s how I ended up running in circles around my house in my PJs at 10pm.
Level up over time
Soon, 2 min runs indoors were too easy.
But I already got into the habit every day…
So I slowly built up to running for 1 hour outside every day.
Because I made it fun and easy to take action towards my goals.
What about you?
What’s an objection you have that you could overcome?
How was today's email?
Til next Monday,
Jennifer
