A little help please?


How clean is your email list?

It's likely not as clean as you think, and that's gonna be costing you big.

A couple of days back I was discussing the difficulties with email marketing with my wife.

How Google in particular love sending this to junk or promo folders, meaning they never get read.

She checked her own promotions tab and found hundreds fo emails from brands she likes that she'd missed cause who checks the promo tab?

Anyway, I've noticed my email engagement dipping so started looking into why.

After an email from an email pro (Jason Resnick), I used a tool called GlockApps to check my email and, it ain't good.

Across the various email services like GMail, only half put my email in the primary inbox.

Not good at all.

So I'm looking at fixing that. A few things that would help is if you could...

  • Whitelist emails from @growthmodels.co
  • Drag this to your primary inbox (if it's not there already)
  • Hit reply and send a response with any info or content to me.

This should help improve deliverability and ensure more folk get to see this message.

Self-serving I know, but I'd really appreciate it.

I'll also be following the other recommendations I have from GlockApps.

If you want to check your deliverabilty, head to Glockapps, sign up, and follow their steps for the proxy check.

Don't worry, you can do this for free.

You'll get a cool report on how to land in the main inbox.

Anything else, let me know.

P.S. once more, if you could please...

  • Whitelist emails from @growthmodels.co
  • Drag this to your primary inbox (if it's not there already)
  • Hit reply and send any response to me.

Yo! Everyone's about to hit emailing hard this week with BFCM promos. I actually know a few folk who have already completed their sales promos for the year. They keep bringing it forward. I wonder if we'll ever get to the point of a Black Friday sale in like May. Anyway, I'm considering whether or not to run a BFCM sale myself. But before I switch into full promo mode, I wanted to give you a quick heads-up. If you want my help to scale properly in 2026, with a predictable system, daily...

Quick one for you this morning while I shoot off to the farmers market. A lot of people think their funnel or offer is broken. Most of the time, it’s not. They’re just aiming it at the wrong people. When your ICP is even slightly off, everything feels unpredictable: wrong buyers vague messaging low-ticket that never ascends high-ticket that feels impossible to sell Good news is it's a reasonably easy fix. If you get crystal clear on who this is for, the restof the messaging woes become easy...

I was chatting with a client the other day about tweaking their front-end offers. They know I’ve been running a lot of AI-based front-end tests, so they asked what’s working and what’s not so we could improve their system. (If you want similar help, hit reply, I’m taking on a few people at the minute.) Here’s what I told him… Yes, AI-based offers sell. If the positioning is right, they sell very well. But if you set them up wrong, you leave a tonne of money on the table. Let me show you. I...
