Free welcome sequence checklist šŸ‘‡

A great welcome sequence does 5 things:

1ļøāƒ£ Delivers immediately — send within 5 minutes of signup. Delay = lost trust.

2ļøāƒ£ Gets a reply — ask a simple question in email 1. Replies train Gmail you're not spam.

3ļøāƒ£ Sets expectations — tell them exactly what they'll get and how often.

4ļøāƒ£ Delivers value fast — give your best tip or resource in the first 3 emails.

5ļøāƒ£ Segments early — track who clicks what so you know exactly what they want.

Most people send one generic welcome email and call it a sequence.

This is why their list goes cold in 30 days.

Hot take:

Your email service provider is not responsible for your deliverability.

Mailchimp won't save you.
Klaviyo won't save you.
ActiveCampaign won't save you.

They give you the tools.
YOU are responsible for how you use them.

Sender reputation?
That's on you.

List hygiene?
That's on you.

Authentication setup?
That's on you.

The ESP is just the car.
You're the driver.

Agree or disagree? šŸ‘‡ Let's talk about it šŸ‘‘

Hot take:

Your email service provider is not responsible for your deliverability.

Klaviyo won't save you.
Mailchimp won't save you.
ActiveCampaign won't save you.

They give you the tools.
YOU are responsible for:

→ How you warm up your domain
→ How clean your list is
→ How engaged your subscribers are
→ How many complaints you're getting

Blaming your ESP for bad deliverability is like blaming the road for a car crash.

The driver matters more than the vehicle.

Real story:

A coach with a 6,000 person list was convinced his funnel was broken.

Spent $2,000 on a new landing page.
Hired a copywriter to rewrite his sequence.
Changed his offer twice.

Results? Same.

Came to me as a last resort.

First thing I checked — spam placement.

74% of his emails never reached the inbox.

His funnel was fine.
His copy was fine.
His offer was fine.

Gmail had quietly blacklisted his domain 4 months earlier after a high complaint rate.

One domain fix and a 3 week warmup later — open rates went from 11% to 38%.

The money was always there.
It was just being filtered out.

3 quick wins to improve deliverability this week:

1ļøāƒ£ Remove unengaged subscribers — anyone who hasn't opened in 90 days is hurting your sender score. Cut them loose.

2ļøāƒ£ Send from a custom domain — or as your sender address is an instant spam trigger. Always use your own domain.

3ļøāƒ£ Warm up before you blast — never jump from 0 to 1000 emails overnight. Build volume gradually over 2-4 weeks.

One of these alone can move your open rates noticeably.

All three together? Game changer. šŸ”„

Mindset check to start the week:

Most people quit email after 2-3 bad campaigns.

They blame the platform.
They blame their niche.
They blame their offer.

Never once check if their emails were even delivered.

The winners in this space aren't more talented.

They just refused to quit before they found the real problem.

This week — don't guess. Diagnose.

Sunday is planning day.

Before you send a single email this week — answer these 3 questions:

1ļøāƒ£ Who are you sending to? (warm list, cold list, or segmented?)
2ļøāƒ£ What's your sending frequency this week?
3ļøāƒ£ Have you checked your domain reputation this month?

Most people skip all 3 and wonder why results are inconsistent.

Hot take:

Hiring a copywriter before fixing your deliverability is like buying a Ferrari with no engine.

Looks great. Goes nowhere.

The best email copy in the world = $0 if it lands in spam.

Fix the foundation first.
Then worry about the words.
