27
Strategy
1.  Become an expert of your topic/industry.
Think about how your company is the “Expert of XYZ”, make a list
of topics you talk about and how you solve customer pain points.
2.  Put yourself in your customer’s shoes.
Would you beneﬁt from reading information on how to solve XYZ?
3.  Write a list 15-20 possible E-mail titles that would grab your
user’s attention:
a.  “Solving common mistakes of XYZ”
b.  “10 tips for better ways to do XYZ”
c.  “Short guide on how to increase your XYZ success”

28
Strategy – Continued.
4.  Determine what’s your usual sales cycle to convert leads to customers
How many “touch points” it usually takes for you to convert leads to
customers. Use info to decide how often you’ll email your leads
5.  Write each of your e-mails on a Word document
Including the title, body & calls to action of each one.
6.  Additionally write a few emails to actually promote your products.
They should only be 15-25% of the total emails you’ll send.
7.  Make a list of the ﬁnal emails topics you’d like to include.
Decide how far apart you’ll send each one. Example: First email on day 0, 2nd
on day 7, 3rd on day 15, 4th on day 35, etc.

31
How to connect your Website and E-mail Marketing?
●  A website and e-mail marketing software are two independent
set of tools, but there are ways to connect them
●  Most common: make an online form on your website, that
upon submission, saves a user’s information into an E-mail
marketing users database.
10: Make your marketing more eﬃcient
by automating your lead and sales funnels.

32
Ways to connect E-mail Marketing with your website/CRM
1) Manual: Manually enter contacts’ emails to your E-mail marketing software -
not the best choice, too time consuming and you’ll forget to do it.
2) Manual, but faster: Export your customer’s name and email from your
website/CRM into an Excel sheet (CSV), and import into your E-mail software.
3) Most common: As previously mentioned (web-to-lead form).
4) Separated but in Sync: Using a CRM software or website plugin that
automatically syncs information from/to your E-mail subscriber’s list.
5) All-in-one Marketing automation software. Your CRM and E-mail marketing
living on the same database.

What method should you implement?
●  Depends on number of contacts, frequency of new
leads, length of sales cycle.
