Tab's ARMy of sales Back in the day, there was an online course a lot of us bought. It was called Autoresponder Madness. In it, Andre Chaperon covered email marketing, copywriting and storytelling. AFAIK, 'soap opera sequences' originated in ARM. You see SOS's a lot in welcome sequences - a series of personal story emails, each ending on a cliffhanger so you are keen to keep opening. Another part of the course taught the power of deeply relatable, targeted sub-sequences… Like a criss-crossing network of 2-3 emails, a self-selected email experience for your subscribers, triggered by their choice of which link they click. He taught this with the example of how, in an email about segmenting in emails, he might mention he uses Drip as his email marketing software, which enables him to apply a contact tag when a link is clicked. Someone who clicked on 'Drip' would be taken to Drip via his aff link. And that click would trigger a series of 3 emails talking about the merits of Drip - like a 3-day aff launch campaign. And at the same time they entered the Drip sequence, they would be removed from the main email list until the final email had gone, at which time they'd rejoin the main list. I can still recall reading this all those years ago and thinking what a cool idea it was. Very clever. But also, what a colossal amount of work and a total brain-fry set of workflows to build on the backend to do this 'properly'. Over the years I've built the odd one or two criss-crossing sequences, but nothing on Andre's level. Until this week. Now, I have Tabitha, my new AI assistant, on the team. I don't need to fry my brain or spend weeks building this behemoth of hyper-relevant ARM-style email cleverness. Tab can build it. So that's what Tabitha has started doing for me this week. I'm coming up with the ideas… Tabitha is writing the first draft of the email sequence… I'm rewriting them - because the draft unlocks my inspiration in response… Tab builds the workflows that power it all. And the best part? Within hours, sales began to trickle in. If your capacity or tech know-how are not on a par with your BIG ideas, you need a Tab in your life.

“When is all this effort going to turn into cash in the bank?" For the first year in my business, I spent hours posting and engaging online every day. Making a ton of friends, ensuring that loads of people knew my name and what I did, and receiving enquiries regularly. - but every day, Bill would ask the same question... “When is all this effort going to turn into cash in the bank?" I was regularly telling him how this person had enquired, and that person is really interested – but they weren’t buying. I thought it was because “I couldn’t sell”, but now I know it had NOTHING to do with ‘how’ I was selling. It was ‘what’ I was selling that was the problem. At the time, I was selling social media management. Enrolling a new client for me meant preparing a TON of content for them – scheduling content to give them a presence online. My absolute favourite way to ‘work’ is teaching and supporting. My least enjoyable task is scheduling content. So, while I was doing ‘all the right things’ to generate leads, energetically I was repelling sales, so I didn’t have to do my least favourite task. If you are NOT truly IN LOVE with EVERY aspect of WHAT you are selling – WHO you sell it to - and HOW you deliver what you have sold – you will be subconsciously REPELLING the sales you are trying to attract! I had been ‘taught’ that “the money in social media was in' managing clients’ accounts”. So, I was selling (or attempting to!) what I thought I ‘should’. That doesn’t work. Building the business you love, working with clients you love, where leads AND sales flow to you with ease – starts in YOUR heart! If you need help to achieve this, then we should talk about the ways I can help you to do so.

“So Veronica, I’ve taken multiple steps to get your so-called free 33 PDF product ideas and it took me through to some sales page for paying for some PDF product. Stop sending sp.ammy emails. And take me off your list.” Got this 👆🏻 in my email yesterday 👀 I could talk about how the reference to my “so-called free” is symbolic of the low trust in people like us these days. I could explain how signing up for emails and receiving said emails is not what s-pam is… - or I could say something snarky about how it’s quicker to just click the ‘take me off your list’ button than it is to type all that out. And I could talk about the irony of “trying to download your 33 PDF product ideas” and “sales page for some PDF product” appearing in the same sentence. But I won’t… Because this response has 💩 all to do with my (actually free) 33 PDF product ideas guide, my selling a paid PDF product that gives you everything you need to sell your paid PDF product (the audacity!), or my tech. My email/so-called-free guide/tech wasn’t the problem. Not getting the thing they wanted, in one smooth transaction was the straw that broke the camel’s back for them. And then they projected that pain into my inbox. (I did reply: “Gah. Tech can be so frustrating when it doesn’t do what it’s meant to.. I’m sorry mine gave you a bad experience. Here’s the PDF. “ Then DND’d them as they wished.) Water off a duck’s back to me. (That’s not an open invite lol!) Reading it inspired me to write this remind you that pushback like this is not about you. It doesn’t mean you are wrong, bad, sp-am-my, or whatever other term they use or you receive through the tone. It means you are becoming more VISIBLE. It means you are making a bigger IMPACT. It means you are REACHING those who need what you do. Your reaction to “feedback” like this should NEVER be to shrink… but to grow. Selling a hyper-targeted PDF product builds a bankable asset that helps you reach more of the people who want to know what you know… So you make a bigger impact and grow an email list of repeat buyers who read what you send. 👉 Get started today by downloading my (genuinely) free list of 3️⃣3️⃣ hyper-targeted sellable PDF product ideas you can create in a weekend.

I was talking to one of my clients this week about what they perceive as the value of a service they offer. They felt that they should charge a low price because it’s easy for them to do and doesn’t take a lot of time. Thing is, it’s only quick and easy now because they’ve put in the leg work over the years gone by. They’ve spent time learning, Tried out different ways and figured out what works and what doesn’t. And they’ve built a bank of templates, processes and contacts to get a great job done faster! I’m reading Rob Becket’s book and of Edinburgh Festival, he says if you give him an hour on the phone now he will have sorted a venue, posters, accommodation and a PR. But that’s only because he’s spent 12 years on the circuit, building up the contacts and know-how. If you’re struggling to charge because you think what you do is easy for you, the value to your clients is in your shortcutting their route to the result. And if you want the shortcuts from my 25+ years of writing words online that grow audiences, build and nurture communities snd convert into leads, sales and opportunities to be paid well by people who value your gifts … - then let’s connect and start that journey today.

❌Discounting offers people have already paid full price for recently… In this online expert industry, trust is our currency. When people invest in our offers, they put their trust in us. . When they see the same thing they bought offered at a lower price a short time later, it sucks. ☹️They can feel stupid for buying early. ☹️They can feel it’s unsafe to buy your offer next time in case the same thing happens again. ☹️It makes affiliates uneasy about promoting you in case it happens to the people who trust their referrals. Because it will impact their reputation too. Soon, it will be BLACK FRIDAY and you might be thinking what you can sell. ❤️I’m an advocate of ‘abundant’ offers. Meaning, not discounted but something extra, special. 🔥Maybe it’s bundling up your service with a product - yours or someone else’s 🔥Maybe bundling several of your digital products together to make a kit. (Like my 2024 Standout Content and Copy Kit that I sold last Black Friday and created and dropped in December) 🔥Maybe it’s something new you pre-sell at the lowest ever price. (I like to launch with my pricing at its lowest and then increase over time.) 🔥Maybe it’s something you bring out of retirement for a short time. (I did a Black Fr-eye-day deal for an old program to raise money for private cataract surgery a few years ago). Abundant offers can be fun to plan. They’re fun to promote and sell. And buyers will feel great about their decision to buy again.

When you think about starting and growing your list, consistently communicating with your subscribers, and reliably generating sales through email marketing, you might have questions, such as: ❓Where should I build my list, and how do I set it up? ❓What incentive should I offer people to sign up for my emails, that they will want to get into after they've downloaded it, as much as a cat peering through the window wants to get into a fishmongers? ❓Do I need a welcome sequence, how often should I send emails, and what would I say? ... and you wish you could find the answers. That's where I come in... veronicapullen.uk/lists-of-l… · When can I expect to receive an ROI from the Inner Circle? · How much time will it take to implement? You may be thinking the same, so I’m going to answer them here. When can I expect to receive an ROI from the Inner Circle? Pretty quickly… but how quickly is up to you. You see, when you join, there are a few priorities you could choose, and two of them are based on you getting a rapid ROI. You could follow my 5-step framework to craft an engaging story with a persuasive call to action and sell your offer in your first few hours as a member! Or you could get inspiration from the “Plan an Abundant Offer” workshop and pull together a new type of offer (a transformational, premium package instead of single sessions, for example), and use the “Cash in a Flash” marketing module to launch it in the next few days and enroll new clients. Or choose a different priority and go at your own pace. Entirely your call. How much time will it take me to implement?

Allow 2-3 hours per week for learning and 30 minutes a day for your important daily sales and marketing activities.

Well, I’m sure you don’t need me to spell it out. If you want to reach more of the people who want to pay for your help, make a bigger impact with your message and consistently receive new enquiries for your programs and services, then join the Copy and Content Generators Inner Circle and start turning your words into a queue of potential clients.

Who are the leaders in your field already selling to your ideal clients? Who are the experts selling similar services, products or programs to you? Study their message. Scrutinise their copy. Review their marketing. How are they describing what they’re selling? What specific words and terms are they using to communicate the value of their offers to their audience? What can you model in your own promo? Recently I recommended a client study the copy on Boden’s website. If you’re not familiar, Boden is a British fashion retailer who are targeting “affluent buyers”. Therefore their copy is written to appeal to people with more money to spend than the average high street customer. Instead of dismissing emails you receive and ads you see in your feed as annoying, value them as your marketing and copywriting swipe files.

😯 When you rave to your friends about the series you’re watching on Netflix, you’re selling Netflix. … yet you shy away from raving about your own programs in case people think you’re pushy. 😯 When you post photos of the fab meal you enjoyed at a restaurant and recommending others visit, you’re selling that restaurant. … yet you won’t ask your audience to visit your website to browse your menu of available offers in case they think you’re being too “salesy”! 😯 When you check in at your holiday location and share a daily rundown of all the great places you visit during your stay, you’re their unpaid sales rep too. … yet you’ll only send one email about your offer in case people think you’re annoying. While you’re over there telling yourself you feel 🤢 about selling, you are happily acting as the salesperson for your favourite brands for no reward. And the reason for that…? Because talking about something you’re excited about doesn’t FEEL like selling. That’s why, when you work with me, you create online programs you’re SO excited about, you are buzzing to share and your passion oozes through the screen so your ideal clients are drawn towards you and selling is ease-ier. Ready to become the sought-after expert with an audience of excited paying clients and eager raving fans who are selling YOU and recommending you to their closest friends and family? If you feel the calling that it’s your time to step up and stand out with purpose-fuelled programs, magnetic marketing and sizzling sales copy? Message me to begin your journey.

Actual quote from Katya Varbanova: “I give Veronica an email that converts at 5%. She does her copy tweaking thing and it converts at 10%” How YOU can do ‘my copy thing’ is what I teach, step by step, when you choose to work with me. You'll see how to create persuasive copy and content (which will also apply to the words you say in your video and audio content) And then I’ll show you how, by making a few simple tweaks, you turn your good words into magical dream client magnets. And a LOT more as well. Want deets?
