01 / Define the promise

What did the signup form promise? Who joined, and what did they consent to receive?

Deliver the promised resource first. A resource request alone is not permission for every future marketing campaign.

02 / Email 1: deliver and orient

Draft a clear subject, the resource link, one way to use it today, and the sender identity.

Starter: Here is your [resource]. Start with [one page/task]. You can finish it in [realistic time].

03 / Email 2: solve one small problem

Draft one helpful lesson and a short exercise. Include a reply question that helps you understand the reader.

Ask about their actual challenge, not for sensitive customer data. One useful idea is enough.

04 / Email 3: connect to the offer

Explain when free guidance is enough and when your paid service could help. Include scope, a real price or scoping process, and one CTA.

A fit-call CTA should explain that the call is free and the service is paid. Avoid invented deadlines or scarcity.

05 / Choose timing and exits

Record when each message sends, what stops the sequence, and how unsubscribes and existing customers are handled.

Check automation rules in your email platform; do not keep pitching someone who already booked.

06 / Review before sending

Check consent, working links, plain-text readability, mobile layout, sender details, unsubscribe and applicable email requirements. Define the action you will measure.

Send yourself a preview. Judge useful replies and qualified next steps alongside clicks; opens alone can be misleading.
