Manage episode 510202912 series 3619915
Most businesses fumble the bag after they get the lead. Perry and Emma break down why your email list is starving for attention—and exactly how to fix it.
Perry Belcher & Emma Rainville takes a no-BS dive into the art and science of nurturing leads the right way—starting with the crucial first seven days. Perry unpacks the psychology of buyer behavior, how to structure high-converting onboarding sequences, and why “just the tip” isn't just a bad joke—it’s a lethal email strategy. Emma keeps it tight with operational gems and tactical questions that pull out the real gold.
