5 stages of... email?


I'm gonna let you in to a little secret about effective email sequences today.

This is the core of all of the email sequences I create, and the reason why they help people print money.

It's also one of the key elements I'll be explaining in the upcoming email marketing workshop.

This approach is at the core of the below success.

In the above, we created a simple 2-week email sequence and sent it to a list that hadn't been emailed in 2 years.

But in those 2 weeks, we reactivated the list and made almost $14k by the end of the promo.

What's the secret?

You've got to think about WHY people buy - or more accurately why they DON'T buy.

A lot of people approach email promo sequences with the thought of...

"If I just say buuy now enough times, people will do it."

It don't work that way.

You have to consider the different cohorts within your audience and the adoption lenses they view offers through.

Here's what I mean.

Picture your audience.

Do they all have the same goals, struggles, and reasons for taking action?

No.

There will be overlaps, but to think they're all the same is madness.

That difference means they'll look at your offers through different lenses.

Some people are price sensitive and want to know what they're getting and the guarantees you offer to minimise risk.

Others are very technically minded and want to understand exactly how the thing works to make a more informed decision.

Others focus on the problem, some on the solution.

Some might be motivated by the transformation.

All of these people have different questions and hesitatiosn that stop them from buying.

A good email sequence doesn't say the same thing over and over again.

It addresses different problems at different points to remove obstacles and help people feel comfortable spending money.

Some people need only one, others need 2-3 to be addressed before they buy.

There's no exact science to this, but in the upcoming email marketing workshop I'm going to share the "catch all" plan I use.

This is a sequence I've used across different industries and price points that removes the majority of obstacles and helps your ideal customer feel comfortable buying.

Which is a fancy way of saying "this helps you make more cash".

Was chatting on the GM+ call yesterday (you can join us for those here) and we got into the details of attracting higher-level clients by standing out from the competition. The kind of clients who will… Pay you higher fees See you as an advisor, not just a tactical implementor Listen to and value your feedback and advice to them And if you get in early enough, maybe even be open to you taking some equity These are the dream clients we all want to work with. They’re less hassle, better payers,...

I’m reworking a bunch of offers and ideas at the minute. And I’d love some feedback on what you’d find most valuable and useful. First though, I’m gonna explain the reasoning behind this little shift - I broke this down in detail in GM+ recently, but want to expand on it a little here. So I’m looking to create 12 offers so I can easily promote one per month to the email list. An easy cycle where, every month, we can offer something that helps people grow their biz. Also, these will double up...

I’ve lost the battle, but not the war with building custom AI Agents to create assets as products. I just can’t get it to replicate the same kind of output as the Custom GPTs. I’ve recorded a video below, but I’ll kick off with the difference in one area of one of these AI Assistants. So, for the $1 Product Strategy Advisor Custom GPT, the output for each stage is like the below… “1.
