Subscribers are nice, but are they translating into sales?


I thought to myself, 'Why am I even writing this email!?!'

Ok. I made a promise to you that I would, so there's that.

But really? Because I KNOW that if I am consistent, I offer value, I connect with you, you will go from subscribers to buyers.

Because, at some point in time you're going to want to up your email game and, fingers crossed 🤞🏻, you think to yourself, 'Oh! I wonder if that Jenn Green chick is free?'

But there are a lot of steps along the way from me just showing up in your inbox consistently to you yelling 'Take my money!'

So, what are the steps to turn subscribers into sales?

1.Email. Your. List.

When I work with clients, the first thing I do is sign up for their email list and see what happens. Want to know what happens more often than not? Crickets... I don't get a single email. Whether your list has 3 people or 3000 people, you owe it to them to show up as your full self and email them. Consistency builds trust. The very first thing you should do when you start taking your emails seriously is to schedule at a very minimum 3 emails that every single subscriber gets when they sign up to your list. Then you avoid the confusion that happens when you randomly show up in their inbox trying to sell your latest thing 😉

2. Let them get to know you.

Gone are the days of bro marketing (phew 😰). People want connection. Real connection. If you haven't sent your list a 'story' email lately, make that your very next email. We want to see the REAL you. Tell us what's been up in your life. Tell us a story from your childhood. Tell us a joke. And then connect that to what you do and how you can help them.

Did you know? I am one of 60 entrepreneurs who contributed to the totally free Automated Sales Bundle coming out next week. I will share all of the details on Monday, but I am releasing a free mini-course all about the 4 emails you HAVE TO send to bring more sales into your business.

3. Be STRATEGIC

'Jenn! What does this even mean!?!' It means that while sending an email is better than not sending an email, having a strategy is better than just sending random emails and sitting by your payment processor waiting for that 'ding'.

Things I ask my clients to come up with a strategy:

  • How are people getting on your list? Are they vetted with opt-ins and warmed up?
  • Are you in a sales cycle or a nurture cycle in your business?
  • Do you have a launch coming up?
  • Does your client have all of the education they need in order to buy from you?

Asking yourself these questions can help you come up with a plan for where your emails are leading your audience.

4. When is the last time you asked for the sale?
No, really...

Sometimes people come to me and say, 'Emails don't work! Nobody is buying from me!' My inevitable next question is, 'Ok, how often are you asking for the sale?' One of two things happens, they either look like a deer in the headlights OR they say, 'Every email!' ...and then I read those emails and can't find a sales pitch with a magnifying glass. You have to ask for the sale. You have to say, 'Do you have this problem? Great! I can solve your problem. Buy this specific thing by hitting this specific button to help you solve this specific problem with my very specific experience.' Ask for the sale.

That's pretty much it in a nutshell! This is how you turn your emails into an actual sales machine.

So, where are we going with these emails?

I am in a nurture phase in my business which means I am going to be getting up and personal in your inboxes while offering a TON of value.

I am building a suite of awesome freebies to teach you how to make more money with your emails.

I am here to help you turn your own subscribers into sales.

So, thank you for being here.

I remember the moment I finally hired a marketing agency to help me build my funnel. I was excited (because FINALLY, someone else was going to take something off my plate). I was nervous (because hiring is an investment, and everyone had been telling me to do it for ages). But mostly, I was relieved. This was a multi-million dollar agency. They had years of experience and glowing testimonials. They knew what they were doing… right? Yeah. About that... Pretty early on, I started seeing red...

Hey Reader, Let me clear something up: Automated sales aren’t a myth. They’re not a unicorn, or the Loch Ness Monster, or Pacey Witter. Which reminds me...It's time to rewatch the entirety of Dawson's Creek again... They’re real. And the secret behind every big name you follow? A killer email ecosystem that sells for them all year long. Here’s what funnels actually do for your business: They turn subscribers into buyers while you focus on other parts of your biz (or just relax for once...I...

I pissed off the internets. Last Fall, I did something ‘scandalous’, I asked a service provider about their political leanings. I said I was asking because I am very clear on my values, and it is important to me that my money is in alignment with them. I know not everyone agrees with this, but it is what feels right for me. They said they understood why I was asking, but that they didn't feel comfortable telling me. I said that I completely understood and thanked them. I thought the...
