X shares how his agency focuses on email and SMS as performance marketing channels, balancing short-term revenue with lifetime value. The conversation dives into common mistakes brands make by either over-sending or under-utilizing their lists, how deliverability and ISP rules impact results, and why segmentation and timing matter more than volume. X also explains how a website should support conversions by building trust, handling objections early, and reinforcing relevance.
