Nurturing is BS

Published 12 months ago • 2 min read

I ended up removing all of my "14-day email nurture" sequences and I'm so happy I did.

For years I'd been following the common advice around email nurture.

You know the stuff...

  • It takes a lead X touchpoints to buy from you
  • You need to offer X value before you even think of pitching
  • People won't buy your product if they don't know who you are

It's all BS as far as I'm concerned now.

For years I ran a multi-week welcome sequence to introduce myself, offer value to the user, and then segue into a soft sale of something.

The result?

A handful of sales in a few years.

So I switched things up to be way more aggressive.

New subs now get a simple welcome then a 5-day sales sequence of a low-cost workshop.

This one to be exact.

The result?

More cash collected, better growth, and I've identified the serious customers - or the givers - in the audience.

All that without a nurture sequence.

How's that possible?

It's a combination of 2 things.

  1. Someone who has a specific problem
  2. A low-cost solution to that problem being put in front of them

If you can make the promise of removing that problem and the price is right, people don't need a long nurture sequence.

They just need the thing that removes the pain.

And if you're still not convinced and think "but my customers need a nurture sequence"...

...know I used to think the same.

But when you've got complete strangers entering your funnel and handing over ~$300 without kowing a thing about who you are, your perception of this all changes.

Long story short, the idea of nurturing ver weeks and months is not the best way to find great customers.

Find a problem they have, solve it with something small, sell it to them.

This identifies the serious peeps who you can then sell more to.

Yo! Quick one. I’m opening up 3 1:1 spots to help people install the exact system I’ve used to: Bring in daily buyers Turn 5–10% into $5K to $25K clients Add $50K+ profit to businesses doing $10K+ months No extra team.

It’s not fully open yet ( still finalising the structure and price) but I wanted to give you a heads-up since you’ve already bought from me before.

Hey, Let’s keep this simple. ACCER Model Builders closes tonight. Now, is this a fake countdown designed to trick you into buying? No. I’m not going to pretend the program disappears off the face of the earth after tonight. But here’s the truth: This is an evergreen offer… … I’ll probably run it again.… But I have no idea when.… Might be next month.… Might be never. And if you’ve been reading these emails, watching the video, and nodding along thinking, “Yeah, this actually sounds like what I...
