What I do
Marketing strategy, marketing operations, or both. Ways to work together
Marketing strategy
I work out who's in your audience, what each group needs to hear and which offer to show them, then give you a plan for what to fix first.I work out who's reading, what each of them wants next and which course, book or membership to offer them.I work out who's on your list, what each of them needs solved and when to offer a call.I work out who your supporters are, where each of them is with you and the right next ask for each.
Marketing operations
My team and I do the work: email, website, funnels, creative, lead generation and personalization. We can help your team, own it, or direct it.My team and I run your newsletter, launches, website and the systems behind them, so each reader sees the right offer.My team and I run your nurture and sales emails, website and lead magnets, so each prospect sees the right next step.My team and I run your newsletters, giving appeals, website and digital fundraising.
Personalization
Websites and emails that change for each person, plus quizzes, calculators and assessments that show you who they are.Your site and emails change for each reader, and quizzes match each one to a course or product.Your site and emails change for each prospect, plus calculators and assessments like the one Rachel uses on every sales call.Your site and emails change for each supporter, and quizzes and resource finders match each person to what they need.
