Imagine this

  • You sign up, join the program and start the free trial.
  • You got the welcome email with product features full of links with the promotion.
  • The next day you got an email about another feature and how it works.
  • The next day you got an email to upgrade to get more features.
  • In the following days, you got only emails with promotions and features about the program,

Now imagine this

  • You sign up, join the program and start the free trial.
  • You got a warm welcome message with the promise you will achieve your goal with the program and the support link if you need assistance with something.
  • After two days, you get an email to schedule a call with the support staff to ask them everything about the program.
  • The next day you get a helpful article on using the features to get more value from them.
