Hey all,

Welcome to session 21! In this one, I brought Val Geisler on as my guest for this episode. She is a super-smart email marketing optimizer, combining email marketing experience and skills with strategy.

Today, we’re talking all about email onboarding and its place in the overall customer experience and the big picture of a business. Thanks to Val’s background that centers exactly in customer experience, from events and retail to small businesses and tech startups, we went deep into the value and importance of having a well thought-out, strategic email onboarding sequence in place.

Listen in on my chat with Val to learn all about:
  • The power of quality email onboarding to reduce the need for outbound sales due to reduced churn and stronger relationships

  • The value of going beyond the “thanks for your money” once someone becomes your customer
  • The importance of email onboarding for service-based businesses
  • Finding the deeper root cause that someone signed up for your trial or product and discovering jobs to be done—hone in on three core tasks! (hint: talk to current customers, trial customers and churned ones)
