Is email really dead—or are people just doing it wrong?

In this episode of the Business Roundtable Podcast, host David W. Carr speaks with Ely Delaney, Automated Systems Strategist, author, and founder of Purple Knight Marketing. With over 25 years of experience, Ely helps speakers, coaches, and consultants simplify their marketing, automate their follow-up, and turn contacts into clients without becoming another voice lost in the noise.

Ely’s approach focuses on adding value, building trust, and creating human-centered automation. His signature “Follow-Up Fix” ensures that when prospects are ready, you’re the first person they think of.

In this conversation, you’ll learn:

• Why email marketing still works when done right
• How to lead with value instead of pressure tactics
• Why automation should feel human, not robotic
• How consistent follow-up builds trust and authority
• Why most sales are lost due to lack of follow-up, not competition
• How to design long-term campaigns that work on autopilot

If you’re a business owner, consultant, or speaker looking to create stronger client relationships and free up time with smart systems, Ely’s insights will show you how to follow up the right way.
