Top Business Tools and Apps To Integrate with Your ESP

List Management Integrations

Growing your list doesn’t begin or end with email.

Even before you began email marketing, you likely began amassing a list of contacts through one, or many, of your other business tools and apps.

Andy Shore found his way to Benchmark when he replied to a job listing promising a job of half blogging, half social media. His parents still don’t believe that people get paid to do that. Since then, he’s spun his addiction to pop culture and passion for music into business and marketing posts that are the spoonful of sugar that helps the lessons go down. As the result of his boss not knowing whether or not to take him seriously, he also created the web series Ask Andy, which stars a cartoon version of himself. Despite being a cartoon, he somehow manages to be taken seriously by many of his readers ... and few of his coworkers.
