Episode Transcript

Essential points on email marketing from this Episode:

Focus on a connected strategy through marketing, sales and social media.

Train your website to be your best salesperson.

The biggest asset a business has is the contact list.

Starting from scratch? Start your email list with contacts you already have (ask them first!).

Many websites use downloads to build contact lists, but that’s not the only way.

Before you clean up your contact list, make sure they’re actually not opening your emails.

Dripped content through emails can be your best marketing approach. Use the lead nurturing framework worksheet.

Pro tip: Use Post-it notes to help plan your next drip campaign.

Determine the frequency and schedule of what works for your marketing campaign and when the client is most likely to open the email.
