What’s the best way to build your brand in 2022? Ezra Firestone and John Grimshaw team up to answer that question for you. If you thought for a minute that ‘email is dead’ (or too hard, or too costly), then listen in as Ezra and John make their case: Email will be key through 2023.
Today’s episode is a clip from their hugely popular workshop ‘The Email Evolution Bootcamp’. Ezra Firestone was actually the first to popularize the idea of going in-depth with email automation, and his E-Commerce brand generated close to 10M through email in 2021. Plus, our host John Grimshaw has overseen the sending of over 440 million emails! So listen as they share their keys to success and explain why you need to double down on Email right now.
Plus, you will learn:
- Why lead generation is the future of growing businesses.
- The game you need to be willing to play (if you want to win).
- Ezra’s Epiphany (that has led to tremendous success).
- The Four-Email Sequence that will make you a lot of money.
