Josh shared his advice for building strong customer and prospect relationships, identifying and doubling down on strengths, leveraging sports to shape his leadership style, and effective leadership, collaboration, and communication.

For example, in addition to the .in top-level domain, the government of India in 2011[38] got approval for ".bharat", (from Bhārat Gaṇarājya), written in seven different scripts[39][40] for use by Gujrati, Marathi, Bangali, Tamil, Telugu, Punjabi and Urdu speakers. Indian company XgenPlus.com claims to be the world's first EAI mailbox provider,[41] and the Government of Rajasthan now supplies a free email account on domain राजस्थान.भारत for every citizen of the state.[42] A leading media house Rajasthan Patrika launched their IDN domain पत्रिका.भारत with contactable email.

This rule is known as the LDH rule (letters, digits, hyphen). In addition, the domain may be an IP address literal, surrounded by square brackets [], such as jsmith@[192.168.2.1] or jsmith@[IPv6:2001:db8::1], although this is rarely seen except in email spam. Internationalized domain names (which are encoded to comply with the requirements for a hostname) allow for presentation of non-ASCII domains. In mail systems compliant with RFC 6531 and RFC 6532 an email address may be encoded as UTF-8, both a local-part as well as a domain name.

Stay ready so you don’t have to get ready. From sports, Josh learned about the importance of always being on his toes, both literally and figuratively, able to preempt and capitalize on each opportunity even before it is fully apparent.

You can’t only work hard on the days you feel good. This is perhaps Josh’s favorite lesson. You need to show up everyday, not just the perfect ones. Instead of just getting through a bad day or moment, focus on getting something out of it. Make every day, every meeting, every interaction count.

Adress oraddress

According to RFC 5321 2.3.11 Mailbox and Address, "the local-part MUST be interpreted and assigned semantics only by the host specified in the domain of the address". This means that no assumptions can be made about the meaning of the local-part of another mail server. It is entirely up to the configuration of the mail server.

Some companies offer services to validate an email address, often using an application programming interface, but there is no guarantee that it will provide accurate results.

The basic EAI concepts involve exchanging mail in UTF-8. Though the original proposal included a downgrading mechanism for legacy systems, this has now been dropped.[37] The local servers are responsible for the local-part of the address, whereas the domain would be restricted by the rules of internationalized domain names, though still transmitted in UTF-8. The mail server is also responsible for any mapping mechanism between the IMA form and any ASCII alias.

Myaddress

A local-part is either a Dot-string or a Quoted-string; it cannot be a combination. Quoted strings and characters, however, are not commonly used.[citation needed] RFC 5321 also warns that "a host that expects to receive mail SHOULD avoid defining mailboxes where the Local-part requires (or uses) the Quoted-string form".

If quoted, it may contain Space, Horizontal Tab (HT), any ASCII graphic except Backslash and Quote and a quoted-pair consisting of a Backslash followed by HT, Space or any ASCII graphic; it may also be split between lines anywhere that HT or Space appears. In contrast to unquoted local-parts, the addresses ".John.Doe"@example.com, "John.Doe."@example.com and "John..Doe"@example.com are allowed.

Some mail services support a tag included in the local-part, such that the address is an alias to a prefix of the local-part. Typically the characters following a plus and less often the characters following a minus, so fred+bah@domain and fred+foo@domain might end up in the same inbox as fred+@domain or even as fred@domain. For example, the address joeuser+tag@example.com denotes the same delivery address as joeuser@example.com. RFC 5233[14] refers to this convention as subaddressing, but it is also known as plus addressing, tagged addressing or mail extensions. This can be useful for tagging emails for sorting, and for spam control.[15]

When transmitting email messages, mail user agents (MUAs) and mail transfer agents (MTAs) use the domain name system (DNS) to look up a Resource Record (RR) for the recipient's domain. A mail exchanger resource record (MX record) contains the name of the recipient's mailserver. In absence of an MX record, an address record (A or AAAA) directly specifies the mail host.

The IETF's EAI Working group published RFC 6530 "Overview and Framework for Internationalized Email", which enabled non-ASCII characters to be used in both the local-parts and domain of an email address. RFC 6530 provides for email based on the UTF-8 encoding, which permits the full repertoire of Unicode. RFC 6531 provides a mechanism for SMTP servers to negotiate transmission of the SMTPUTF8 content.

Comments are allowed in the domain as well as in the local-part; for example, john.smith@(comment)example.com and john.smith@example.com(comment) are equivalent to john.smith@example.com.

Earlier forms of email addresses for other networks than the Internet included other notations, such as that required by X.400, and the UUCP bang path notation, in which the address was given in the form of a sequence of computers through which the message should be relayed. This was widely used for several years, but was superseded by the Internet standards promulgated by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).

Reflecting on his time at Harvard, Josh appreciates his time working with incredible coaches, like Coach Amaker. So many of the lessons he has later applied to life and work have been inspired by his time working with coaches who have a special ability to inspire and communicate with a group of diverse people and push them collectively in the same direction. Some of Josh’s favorite lessons from them:

Syntactically correct, verified email addresses do not guarantee that an email box exists. Thus many mail servers use other techniques and check the mailbox existence against relevant systems such as the Domain Name System for the domain or using callback verification to check if the mailbox exists. Callback verification is an imperfect solution, as it may be disabled to avoid a directory harvest attack, or callbacks may be reported as spam and lead to listing on a DNSBL.

Addresses of this form, using various separators between the base name and the tag, are supported by several email services, including Andrew Project (plus),[16] Runbox (plus),[17] Gmail (plus),[15] Rackspace (plus), Yahoo! Mail Plus (hyphen),[18] Apple's iCloud (plus), Outlook.com (plus),[19] Mailfence (plus),[20] Proton Mail (plus),[21] Fastmail (plus and Subdomain Addressing),[22] postale.io (plus),[23] Pobox (plus),[24] MeMail (plus),[25] and MTAs like MMDF (equals), Qmail and Courier Mail Server (hyphen).[26][27] Postfix and Exim allow configuring an arbitrary separator from the legal character set.[28][29]

I spoke with Josh Isner, Chief Revenue Officer at Axon (NASDAQ: AAXN), which connects people, devices, and apps to Protect Life and Protect Truth. Axon is the law enforcement market leader in cloud computing, wearable cameras, and less lethal devices.

Toaddresssomething

The local-part postmaster is treated specially—it is case-insensitive, and should be forwarded to the domain email administrator. Technically all other local-parts are case-sensitive, therefore johns@example.com and JohnS@example.com specify different mailboxes; however, many organizations treat uppercase and lowercase letters as equivalent. Indeed, RFC 5321 warns that "a host that expects to receive mail SHOULD avoid defining mailboxes where ... the Local-part is case-sensitive".

An email address is generally recognized as having two parts joined with an at-sign (@), although technical specification detailed in RFC 822 and subsequent RFCs are more extensive.[32]

Josh knew from the start that he wanted to be in sales. However, it was still valuable for him to rotate through other groups, including and especially product since that deeper understanding helped to build stronger customer relationships. Because he was able to focus on sales early on, Josh was able to begin reaping the benefits of compounding in learning, building relationships, executing on projects, and establishing trust from the very start.

The format of an email address is local-part@domain, where the local-part may be up to 64 octets long and the domain may have a maximum of 255 octets.[5] The formal definitions are in RFC 5322 (sections 3.2.3 and 3.4.1) and RFC 5321—with a more readable form given in the informational RFC 3696 (written by J. Klensin, the author of RFC 5321) and the associated errata.

Addressfull form

Interpretation of the local-part is dependent on the conventions and policies implemented in the mail server. For example, case sensitivity may distinguish mailboxes differing only in capitalization of characters of the local-part, although this is not very common.[12] For example, Gmail ignores all dots in the local-part of a @gmail.com address for the purposes of determining account identity.[13]

The example addresses below would not be handled by RFC 5321 based servers without an extension, but are permitted by the UTF8SMTP extension of RFC 6530 and 6531. Servers compliant with this will be able to handle these:

How to pronounceaddress

Get work experience early on. While academics are of course important, Josh found his work experience during college was most instrumental in shaping him as an employee and preparing him for the professional world. Navigating a workplace is complex and often much more challenging than it sounds. Learning to work with other people in a corporate setting, owning responsibility for collaborative deliverables, and driving business progress are things that you can only internalize by doing in real work or internship settings.

RFC 2606 specifies that certain domains, for example those intended for documentation and testing, should not be resolvable and that as a result mail addressed to mailboxes in them and their subdomains should be non-deliverable. Of note for e-mail are example, invalid, example.com, example.net, and example.org.

Despite the wide range of special characters which are technically valid, organisations, mail services, mail servers and mail clients in practice often do not accept all of them. For example, Windows Live Hotmail only allows creation of email addresses using alphanumerics, dot (.), underscore (_) and hyphen (-).[10] Common advice is to avoid using some special characters to avoid the risk of rejected emails.[11]

The IETF conducts a technical and standards working group devoted to internationalization issues of email addresses, entitled Email Address Internationalization (EAI, also known as IMA, Internationalized Mail Address).[36] This group produced RFC 6530, 6531, 6532 and 6533, and continues to work on additional EAI-related RFCs.

An email address consists of two parts, a local-part (sometimes a user name, but not always) and a domain; if the domain is a domain name rather than an IP address then the SMTP client uses the domain name to look up the mail exchange IP address. The general format of an email address is local-part@domain, e.g. jsmith@[192.168.1.2], jsmith@example.com. The SMTP client transmits the message to the mail exchange, which may forward it to another mail exchange until it eventually arrives at the host of the recipient's mail system.

Apply learnings from sports to business leadership. At Harvard, Josh was on the golf team and was also a manager for the basketball team. Looking back, sports has been the best manual for him in learning how to lead. Through sports, he was able to take away lessons around being competitive and a self starter, fostering mental toughness, responding to adversity, and being flexible and versatile, which have all been crucial to success in sales.

Be authentic and upfront. Police are trained to determine who is lying and who is telling the truth, so they are especially sensitive to insincerity. Consequently, Josh looks for sales reps who are very authentic and who can present the product with tons of genuine conviction in a truthful, transparent, and respectful manner. Instead of overpromising or introducing crucial details only later in the conversation, Josh coaches sales reps to be upfront in explaining the dynamics, such as where and to what extent pricing can be negotiated and what timelines pertain to each discount or offer.

The addresses found in the header fields of an email message are not directly used by mail exchanges to deliver the message. An email message also contains a message envelope that contains the information for mail routing. While envelope and header addresses may be equal, forged email addresses (also called spoofed email addresses) are often seen in spam, phishing, and many other Internet-based scams. This has led to several initiatives which aim to make such forgeries of fraudulent emails easier to spot.

An email address also may have an associated "display-name" (Display Name) for the recipient, which precedes the address specification, now surrounded by angled brackets, for example: John Smith .[6] Email spammers and phishers will often use "Display Name spoofing" to trick their victims, by using a false Display Name, or by using a different email address as the Display Name.[7]

Don’t pigeonhole yourself in an identity. For a long time Josh always thought of himself as an executor. But over time, he realized that this characterization of his strengths sometimes led him to lose sight of the bigger picture and underestimate his ability to grow into other strengths. In breaking away from this identity, he was able to not only think of and manage what was urgent and immediately ahead but also the long term, which was crucial for his transition into leadership roles.

Josh started off as a development rep on the sales team, creating leads through creative tactics like sending handwritten letters to police chiefs. After spending some time as a account executive in the Northeast, he then took over the video cloud team, which grew quite quickly under his leadership. Afterwards, he took over domestic sales and most recently, the full global sales function as CRO.

Significant demand for such addresses is expected in China, Japan, Russia, and other markets that have large user bases in a non-Latin-based writing system.

The transmission of electronic mail from the author's computer and between mail hosts in the Internet uses the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), defined in RFC 5321 and 5322, and extensions such as RFC 6531. The mailboxes may be accessed and managed by applications on personal computers, mobile devices or webmail sites, using the SMTP protocol and either the Post Office Protocol (POP) or the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP).

The local-part of an email address has no significance for intermediate mail relay systems other than the final mailbox host. Email senders and intermediate relay systems must not assume it to be case-insensitive, since the final mailbox host may or may not treat it as such. A single mailbox may receive mail for multiple email addresses, if configured by the administrator. Conversely, a single email address may be the alias to a distribution list to many mailboxes. Email aliases, electronic mailing lists, sub-addressing, and catch-all addresses, the latter being mailboxes that receive messages regardless of the local-part, are common patterns for achieving a variety of delivery goals.

Invest in customers holistically. Law enforcement is a relatively small market, so since the early days, Axon knew it was crucial to maintain strong customer relationships. Happy customers who are delighted with products are much more willing to purchase more, churn less, and share the product through their teams and networks. Consequently, NPS (Net Promoter Score) is a metric that Josh and the broader Axon team track very closely to determine not only how satisfied customers are but also how much they would voluntarily recommend the product to others. In achieving their now very high NPS score of 63, Axon has invested in customers holistically beyond the sale itself through organizing customer events and earlier this year at the height of the pandemic, donating PPE to all customers.

An email address identifies an email box to which messages are delivered. While early messaging systems used a variety of formats for addressing, today, email addresses follow a set of specific rules originally standardized by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) in the 1980s, and updated by RFC 5322 and 6854. The term email address in this article refers to just the addr-spec in Section 3.4 of RFC 5322. The RFC defines address more broadly as either a mailbox or group. A mailbox value can be either a name-addr, which contains a display-name and addr-spec, or the more common addr-spec alone.

Take time to find your authentic leadership style. One of Josh’s favorite quotes is one by Miles Davis: “Man, it took me a long time to sound like myself.” Too often, leaders focus on what they should say instead of what is true to them. Your team members want a leader who is human and a leader who is honest and focused. People trust you more when you are authentic in your communication and true to yourself.

An email address, such as john.smith@example.com, is made up from a local-part, the symbol @, and a domain, which may be a domain name or an IP address enclosed in brackets. Although the standard requires the local-part to be case-sensitive,[1] it also urges that receiving hosts deliver messages in a case-independent manner,[2] e.g., that the mail system in the domain example.com treat John.Smith as equivalent to john.smith; some mail systems even treat them as equivalent to johnsmith.[3] Mail systems often limit the users' choice of name to a subset of the technically permitted characters; with the introduction of internationalized domain names, efforts are progressing to permit non-ASCII characters in email addresses.

Due to the ubiquity of email in today's world, email addresses are often used as regular usernames by many websites and services that provide a user profile or account.[4] For example, if a user wants to login to their Xbox Live video gaming profile, they would use their Microsoft account in the form of an email address as the username ID, even though the service in this case is not email.

EAI enables users to have a localized address in a native language script or character set, as well as an ASCII form for communicating with legacy systems or for script-independent use. Applications that recognize internationalized domain names and mail addresses must have facilities to convert these representations.

Email addresses are often requested as input to website as validation of user existence. Other validation methods are available, such as cell phone number validation, postal mail validation, and fax validation.

Addressmeaning in Hindi

The domain name part of an email address has to conform to strict guidelines: it must match the requirements for a hostname, a list of dot-separated DNS labels, each label being limited to a length of 63 characters and consisting of:[8]: §2

Focus on what other people hear, not what you say. Oftentimes, the message itself matters much less than the way in which it is communicated. How you position your message is incredibly important. It can be motivating or demotivating, which makes a meaningful difference in your relationships, culture, and team morale.

In addition to the above ASCII characters, international characters above U+007F, encoded as UTF-8, are permitted by RFC 6531 when the EHLO specifies SMTPUTF8, though even mail systems that support SMTPUTF8 and 8BITMIME may restrict which characters to use when assigning local-parts.

It’s amazing what can be achieved if nobody cares who gets the credit. Through sports, Josh experienced first hand just how much a team could achieve if no one is focused on getting credit. With that time and mental energy freed up to focus on the common goal, any team can efficiently reach new heights.

Josh had met Rick Smith, the founder and CEO of Axon, through a social organization at Harvard and felt that he was an innovative and ambitious entrepreneur. So he joined Axon right after graduating from Harvard in 2009 and has been there ever since. He started in the Leadership Development Program, a rotational program through which he spent time in the legal, marketing, and product departments before joining sales.

Leverage the power of compounding. While Axon has a Leadership Development Program to help new, early career hires better understand the company holistically, the Company recommends that these hires come in with some understanding of their interests.
