Hi, so I consider myself a business professional
cause I’ve got a full-time job in marketing,
and I’m also a full-time YouTuber so as
you can imagine, my business email inbox is
always overflowing with emails.
And these emails come from 1 or 2 different
types of people. Type 1 are sales people.
These people are only trying to sell me something
or sell you something through me and they’re
all over my inbox.
And the other type are YouTube networks telling
me that they can make me infinitely rich and
collab with Pewdiepie as long as I sign away
all my rights and join their network and give
them all my money.
The problem with salespeople is they don’t
know when to stop. If you say no, they will
continue. If you wanna see a YouTuber have
war flashbacks just mention the word wooden
headphones. They know what I’m talking about.
I had this one guy trying to get me to review
wooden headphones every other day for a week
until I finally replied to him with NEVER
EMAIL ME AGAIN.
And you know what it worked!
See my mom always taught me Evan, if you don’t
have anything nice to say, don’t say anything
at all.
And I consider myself a nice guy! I’m nice
when it comes to emails… but I have my limits.
If you’re going to email me about wooden
headphones 5 times in a row, I am going to
freak out!
So that’s when I thought, ya know what?
Maybe I should reply to all the business emails
I get from now on instead of just ignoring
them. Because there’s a lot of them that
maybe I can keep that connection maybe I can
be like hey I’m not interested, but I dunno
maybe let’s keep in touch?
That was not a good decision.
As much as I think I’m a nice guy, Definitely
the rude side of me comes out when it comes
to replying to salespeople.
See one time a YouTube network emailed me
and they said Evan we love your videos! Would
you like to join our network?
And I just ignored it. Because I’m like
ahh ya know I get loads of these from different
networks and I’m not interested so I’ll
just ignore it. They’ll get the message.
So then I get a second email within a month.
Hey Evan we love your videos wanna join our
network?
Just gonna ignore it. Maybe they’ll stop.
But then I get a third one a month later from
a guy that says Hey naveregnide!
Whoah. Whoah. That is drawing the line okay.
You do not call me by my old brand name okay.
That was my old channel name. You don’t
even know who you’re talking to. So I was
like excuse me, I am NOT naveregnide. Also,
sorry mate I’m not interested in joining
your network. Best, Evan.
Because even if you’re gonna be slightly
rude in an email, you always have to be professional!
You’ve got a reputation. Always end in the
best, Evan.
Or sometimes when I’m emailing American
companies I like to end in cheers just cause
they’re like He’s British!
I’m not British.
So, it’s a little joke I just have with
myself. I think I’m the only person that
thinks it’s funny.
However even though I did email this third
guy I still got email after email every single
month until the seventh time when I was just
like I can’t handle this anymore and I just
replied with guy! Listen, I’m really sorry.
I’ve met your entire marketing team at this
point. Can you please stop emailing me? My
answer’s always going to be the same. I’m
not interested in joining your network.
To which he replied with Not sorry or no oh
no ok we won’t…
He replied with oh! Well uh why don’t you
wanna join our network? Is there anything
we can do to help you wanna join?
NO! I said I’m not interested! I don’t
understand why people don’t understand the
word no! I’m not interested. There’s nothing
I want to do to join your network. Leave me
alone.
Do you think that ended the conversation?
No, because I just got an email last week
from them that went Hey Evan. You wanna join
our YouTube network? NO
I did get a very interesting email from a
different YouTube network one time that was
like Hey Evan! Really love your videos. Spent
the last 20 minutes watching them. You’re
funny! Whoah there. You just called me funny?
You said you watched a lot of my videos. I’m
interested. This seems like a personal email.
“I’m the CEO of the network.”
Whoah. The CEO of the network? This is pretty
cool. I read that email diligently. And I
went, aww that’s a nice network. I might
wanna network with them sometime at like vidcon.
I don’t know. But I’m not interested right
now.
A month later though I get a very similar
email.
Hey Evan, love your videos. I just spent 20
minutes watching… WHAT?!
I almost pulled my glasses off! That’s when
I get angry. It was a copy paste! It was so
nice the first time and it was someone else!
And at this point I had been hurt! Okay. What
if they didn’t think I was funny?
So what I did was I just copied the CEO’s
email gave it a little paste and went aww
man what a shame! It was a bit more personal
when your CEO emailed me. Now it's a bit awkward.
No reply from them ever again.
That’s not true they just emailed me last
month.
This isn't YouTube specific though. Cause
I went on holiday recently to Vegas and while
I was away I forgot to set my away message
for my inbox so I got an email from a guy
who was like hey man we got a product we wanna
work with you, but I didn't reply. Because
I was on holiday.
So he replied to me 4 days later with Hey
man! Just following up you wanna use our product?
Right/ You wanna work together?
Still on holiday.
So then he replied again. Hey man. I feel
like you're not replying to my emails. What
gives? You wanna reply? We got a great product.
I was ON HOLIDAY.
This guy replies the fourth time with this
gif. What is this???
Is this professional?
No and his options were like look what you've
made me do! You've made me cry. I deserve
to be talked to; talk to me now! No! I didn't
even give that guy anything. I'm not replying
to that guy. He's crazy. He's gonna send me
crying gifs!? What is this! The 90's?!
They didn't have gifs in the 90's Evan...
(they did)
So as you can see, I'm pretty fed up with
these copy pasted emails. Especially when
companies are like Hey there Evan! I love
your website / blog / YouTube channel! Wow.
That one got to me.
I'm so glad this was so personalised for me!
So I replied to that one with I'm glad you
like my website / YouTube channel / blog,
BUT I'm not interested. Just to give'm just
a little sass.
As well, Best comma Evan.
Always end with that. Okay? Gotta be professional.
But at one point a company emailed me and
they said: Hey Savana!
Alright. Just checked my name which I wrote
on my hand here... it's not Savana. So I emailed
this guy named Hadrien back with: Thanks for
the tip Hank!
At least this guy had a sense of humour cause
he was like oooh sorry! Made a mistake. Won't
happen again. Guess what happened again?
I got an email from someone from the same
company named Beth who said "Hi Savana"
It's EVAN. Seven-a maybe? If you put an S
in the front?
So I was like: Listen Bridget, thanks for
the tip, I'm fine. She didn't have a sense
of humour. Didn't reply.
When I think that's it, No! I get a third
email from Hadrien going Hi Savana! So at
this point I am entering full sass mode. And
I'm like hey Hayden, I think my email address
is in the wrong field, but gotta be professional
with some sass...
Best, SavEvan.
SavEvan.
I probably should've gonna with sEvana, but
I wanted to make sure he knew I was messing
with him. But he's okay. He's got a sense
of humour. I like that Hadrien guy. I haven't
gotten one since he's fixed it. Congratulations.
It's the little, tiny battles that you win.
But that leads me up to the worst business
email I've ever gotten. See I can ignore all
these YouTube network emails and all these
sales people pitchin' things, but there was
just this one... that happened to catch my
eye. This one woman was like Hey Evan, we've
got some headphones. It's always headphones.
And we want you to try them out. So I read
the email. It seemed pretty interesting. They
seemed like a nice pair of headphones. But
I kept scrolling, and it looks like an internal
email was accidentally left in. So I read
it as an attachment.
And it was like:
Hey, so here's the guy. Haven't really watched
much of his videos or anything yet, but you
can check them out. Make sure he isn't a massive
loser basically. Oh, he has a good twitter
following though. That's a good sign.
What?!
A massive loser?
*cries*
Sorry, I was really offended. I wasn't. I
know a lot of people that might be offended,
but
*laughs*
You call me a massive loser?!
At the end of the email?!
That is the most unprofessional thing I've
ever seen.
So, I took it in jest. At this point I was
just joking about it, so I replied with: Are
you sure I'm not a massive loser though? Best,
Evan.
You always have to end with that. At this
point it caused a huge PR frenzy. And her
boss and her boss's boss were emailing me
like crazy like Hey Evan! You wanna call?
Evan can we call you? Evan, is everything
okay? Hahaha We love you!
And I was like uhm, ya know, I'm just gonna
tweet this...
And they're like no please don't do that.
*cries*
And I was like listen, it's okay. I get it
was a joke. It's a Wednesday. Calm down. They're
like: Are you sure?
And I was like: it's fine. It's just a joke.
But it's okay! Everyone makes mistakes. I
thought it was really funny actually. She
didn't call me a massive loser. She was just
saying Make sure he isn't a massive loser.
It's just funny that that's their target demo.
Anyone who isn't a massive loser.
Do you like our product?
No.
What are you a massive loser?
*laughs*
But that's just my little rant on business
emails which I'm sure is really relevant to
my entire demographic. Yes, I thought it was
businecessary.
*laughs*
But if you want to get emails sent to you:
be sure to subscribe! I make new videos every
Sunday! And maybe YouTube will email you,
who knows. They do it randomly sometimes.
But if you liked the video please give it
a big like below. Other than that, I'm going
to Copenhagen this weekend, so if you live
there I hope to see you there.
I will see you otherwise next Sunday. Thanks
so much for watching. Good bye.
*cue catchy whistling outro*
*swoosh*
So being as I have a job in marketing, and
I'm also a YouTuber... whoah lightning.
But that's been my little rant on business
emails which I'm sure is really relevant to
my entire demographic. I'm lookin' at you
Paul, 40 year old marketing director from
Birmingham.
You should not be watching my videos at work.
Get back to work!
*laughs*
What?!
I really hope there's someone named Paul in
Birmingham watching.
