She explains value, and how to go about delivering it to your audience. She talks about the language used within emails, and how it makes or breaks it for her. She also talks about giving actionable tips in your emails, and how much of a difference it can make.
Jessica also talks about list hygiene, and how much it can help to trim the list down to the people who love and engage with you. The impact it has on your open rates, and why that’s important.
She breaks the taboo around sales emails. She explains the subtleties that go into a solid sales email that actually converts, instead of the clunky emails that repel people. She makes a comparison to dating that somehow makes perfect sense to email marketing.
