Hey, there. Welcome back to the Automate Your Dream podcast. This is your host, David Anderson, and today's show is for my fellow wed the wedding industry partners out there and I share story on what led me to create a system that will basically allow me to have less brain drain when it comes to following up with emails leads that are coming in from wedding shows or wedding networks. So stay tuned. You might learn a thing or two and then also maybe start to reevaluate just some of the things that you do on a day to day basis. When it comes to getting everything done and simply what's on your plate, so hope you enjoy. And let's get to it. Did you know that that are millions of new ideas created every single day by a special group of people who call themselves entrepreneurs? More importantly, some of these ideas can literally change the world. But sadly, most of these ideas will never develop into what they were meant to be. Too many struggle with simply having enough money, time and energy to maintain the intentional focus required to nurture their ideas from concept to reality. If you've experienced that feeling of losing hope, you're not alone. That's why I created this podcast so we can talk about the tools and strategies that will help you improve your revenue, regain your time and energy so you can unlock the impact your dream was meant to have. My name is David Anderson, and welcome to the Automate Your Dream podcast. Hey, welcome back, guys. This conversation is going to be very much specific to my friends and the wedding industry, so if you're not in the wedding industry, you've got to just bear with me, but this can apply to a lot of different types of businesses once you once you understand what we're trying to achieve as far as the end result. So let me first give you the problem now. So I've been involved in the wedding industry for about the past. It's over ten years now. And years ago, I signed up to be a part of this wedding network where couples who are beginning their journey of planning their wedding, they get to sign up as subscribers to get access to the vendors that are part of this network. So think of it this way, literally anything that you can think of. To help you plan your wedding or if you think of the things that you need for a wedding, you can find within this network now as a vendor. You pay an annual subscription to be a part of this network as a vendor, and that gives you access to a list. But here's the thing about this list. This list is not simply a spreadsheet that's emailed to you. Like what is done after completing a wedding show, you're on a list to receive information or to receive the information of the leads. Who are the couples who are, you know, signing up for this list? Okay. So basically, every time someone signs up and becomes a new member of this wedding network and they need help in planning their wedding, whether it's looking for deejays or phone numbers, their floor is cake bakers or decorators or venues or officiant literally anything you can think, you know, party bus, limousine, you know, transportation, all those different things you can find as being a part of this network.
Now, going back to being a vendor, so you receive emails periodically. Basically, any time someone subscribes to this network, you receive an email and the emails are formed in the same way. So the the email subject, you know, you see, you know, the name of the wedding network news, subscriber details inside of the email, you have a table basically of information most of the time. And it's e-mail, it's just information for one couple, for, you know, for one lead. Sometimes you have multiple for e-mail, but for the most part, it's, you know, for each subscriber that signs up generates an email that goes out to the entire network. Now, whether that's done manually or automated, not sure what matters is the point that as I'm going throughout my day to day life and, you know, developing and run
