#229 Pitch Sequences with Allison Hardy

#229 Pitch Sequences with Allison Hardy

Author: Emily Reagan | Digital Marketing Mentor, Speaker November 12, 2024 Duration: 41:25

Funnel Series #5

What the heck do we say when somebody submits a form? What do we need to email them back? If you remember my conversation with Jen Robbins earlier in the series (ep.226), we talked about how most business owners don’t even have these crucial follow-up emails in place. So if you’re a budding unicorn marketing assistant, this is a perfect opportunity to flex your muscles, take the lead, and gain valuable copywriting experience by writing the sequence yourself.

My guest is Allison Hardy, an Email Marketing Strategist who helps coaches and experts enroll more clients into their courses or memberships—on autopilot. She’s also the founder of the Funnel of the Month Club and host of the 6-Figure Secrets Podcast. Her expertise has been featured in Huffington Post, YFS Magazine, and she was even named one of Washington, D.C.'s most influential professionals under 40 by Washington Life Magazine. 

Listen to learn more about:

  • The seven must-send emails in your pitch sequence and why they are essential for conversions
  • Why Allison isn’t a huge fan of traditional welcome sequences and what she recommends instead
  • How to personalize and customize email funnels for your client’s business (hint: it’s not a one-size-fits-all approach)
  • Tips for ensuring your emails guide subscribers smoothly through the customer journey without overwhelming them

Tune in to find out exactly what info subscribers need next to make a solid buying decision—and just as importantly, what you shouldn’t be sending them.
