Creating Your First Email Sequence: The Autoresponder
Email campaigns are the perfect way to stay top of mind, introduce new offerings, or drive demand during need periods. It’s also the perfect way to introduce new leads to your brand and services. It all begins with an autoresponder sequence. But what should you say? We cover, by topic, the focus for each email and how many you should send.
Types of Email Campaigns
With impressive open rates and unmatched ROI, email marketing gives you full control and ownership of engaging with your subscribers. Compare this to social media, which is dictated by algorithms and is only shown to a fraction of your followers. Learn about the top types of email campaigns service-based businesses should use as part of their email strategy.
The Power Of Email Marketing To Grow Sales
I love email marketing. Want to know why?
The ROI is crazy high – 3600%. For every $1 spent you can expect to earn back $36.
With email marketing:
1. You have a direct link to your customers (past, present & future) any time you want it
2. You can test new offers and promotions before investing in costly ads
3. There’s real-time data to help you know what’s working and what needs tweaking
When it comes to digital marketing, there are many options and all can deliver results in the form of awareness, engagement and most importantly, sales.
But dollar for dollar, email outperforms them all and is completely within your control, unaffected by ever-changing algorithms and 3rd parties.

5 years? 7 years? Not since you started your business?
Let's face it: updating your website is time-consuming! And even though you know you probably need to do it because you're a little embarrassed by your current site, it keeps failing to the bottom of your to-do list.

Are You Guilty Of Pitch Slapping?
Huh? What is pitch slapping? Even if you don't know it by name, we've all experienced it.
Your business is more than the services you sell. It's your brand and reputation, so everything you do is a direct reflection of you. That includes how you engage with your ideal customer and, ultimately, how you hope to help them. Pitch slapping can destroy relationships with potential customers. Learn what it is and what you can do to build long-term relationships with your clients.
What Comes After Your Homepage
Your homepage is only the beginning when it comes to providing website visitors the information they need to make an informed buying decision. Your Services and About pages are equally important. Always ensure your website's pages are focused on your ideal customer and their problems. Position your message from their perspective even when you're talking about yourself. Because in the end, it's still about them.
Building the Sales Relationship One Web Page at a Time
Today’s B2B buying process is increasingly focused on digital channels. Our prospective clients spend the most time (27%) performing online research and less time (17%) meeting with sales reps. If you want to connect with your clients in a genuine and lasting way that results in more sales, your website needs to be written to resonate. And it all begins with your homepage.
The Importance of Connecting Pain Points and Benefits
Knowing your unique value propositions is critical if you want to differentiate yourself from your competition. But you also need to take the time to listen to learn your ideal client’s pain points, because if you hope to connect in a way that results in more business, your key benefits must align with your ideal client’s pain points.
Positioning Your Unique Value Propositions
Understanding how and when to properly position yourself against your competition is vital if you want to connect and engage with your ideal customer in a meaningful way that moves the sale forward. It starts with listening to them talk about their problems.
Defining Your Unique Value Proposition
Your unique value proposition sets you apart from your competitors and is what your ideal customer will gravitate towards when deciding who to work with. Regular check-ins with past and current clients in the form of surveys and testimonials allows you to understand why people buy from you and identify if there’s been a shift in the market that impacts customers’ decisions.
Why It’s Important to Know What Makes You Unique
You need a really great sales story if you want to win the business of your ideal customer. And this includes knowing why people buy from you over your competitors. Understanding and communicating your unique value proposition is a key component of revenue-generating sales copy.
