Q

Email Type 2: Automated Campaign Sequences

A
  • All of the messages are preloaded
    • An on boarding sequence (a series of emails that you write that introduces people to your way of thinking, into your worldview, and helps them get to know, like, and trust you)
    • Pre-event autoresponder sequence (aka the “tractor beam” sequence -> it draws prospects toward you; e.g., 4-7 email pre-event autoresponder sequence leading up to a webinar)
    • Post event autoresponder sequence (aka the “pattern buffer” sequence; directed toward the email subscribers who, for some reason, didn’t attend the webinar/ event or buy the thing you were selling)
    • The pattern buffer sequence either steers them to a replay of the webinar or another piece of content in another format
    • Post sale autoresponder sequence (crafted to solidify the sale to remind them of why they bought the product or service they purchased; to encourage them to use the product or service they purchased because of the benefits; to prevent them from asking for a refund)
    • Post sale autoresponder sequences referred to as “automated retention machines” (recommended to be written for each product that is sold)

SOCIAL EQUITY REFILL MACHINE OF NICENESS

What on earth am I talking about? The S.E.R.M.O.N. is a series of emails that are sent out with no intention to get them to sign up for any new list. No intention to get them to sign up for a webinar. No intention to get them to buy anything. These are emails that just spread good will, that give them something free.
