Without it, marketing and connecting with people becomes challenging.Create automated email workflows. These are a sequence of emails that are sent when triggered by a client action. Start with creating a welcome email sequence, one that is triggered when a client signs up for your email list.The welcome sequence is just the beginning. Once a client has gone through the welcome sequence, introduce them to an evergreen nurture sequence. Introduce the paths they could branch off of that when they are done with the nurture sequence, this is where we give them opportunities to be a donor, volunteer, or more.We need to cross-communicate with our people because volunteers might be interested in being donors and donors might be interested in volunteering as well. People care about more than just one silo of our work. “One of the most stable email tactics that I use is automating workflows. The difference between a one-off email, and a workflow is it has more than one email in it, which makes it a process or workflow. These emails can be triggered by certain events - if x then y.” “The most important piece to remember is to bring value into this email workflow. Make an evergreen nurture sequence.” “We're not going to send an email asking for money to people who haven't completed the welcome and nurture sequence yet because they're not ready psychologically. By the time they're done with this nurture sequence, ideally, they're ready for an ask.” - Cody Hayes Reach out to Cody Hayes at:Website: https://www.marketingmission.org/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marketingmissionorg/?hl=enLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/marketingmission/ Ask for and receive all you want, need and deserve without feeling rejected, ineffective, or pushy.
