“You Win” Strategy• Purpose: To qualify leads in a way that makes

them feel like they’ve won something special

• When: Lots of traffic, need to filter the good from the bad. Or when you have limited staff and need to focus on best leads first.

Steps to “You Win”• Create custom fields for all responses

• Create an action set that “Sets a field to a specific value” for each option for each response

• Set up your decision node to handle each option

• Run the action sets in the sequences

for?

• What feelings were you experiencing?

• How was your personal life affected?#ICON14 @boxoutmarketing

Ask Strategic Questions

• If you had chosen a competing product, which one? Why?

• What could be better about our product?

#ICON14 @boxoutmarketing

• Get back at who did this to me, revenge

#ICON14 @boxoutmarketing

How to Convey Your Message By Email

#ICON14 @boxoutmarketing

Email Writing 101• Who is it coming from? (make the connection)

• Use pattern interrupts

• Send personal emails based on behavior

• “I noticed you visited our website…”

• The Power of One

• Write to one person, not the list. Be specific about who that person is and write the same way you would to that person.

#ICON14 @boxoutmarketing

to go

#ICON14 @boxoutmarketing

Bad Offers• Opt In for a free report on a site that sells

movie tickets

#ICON14 @boxoutmarketing

Split testing is like high school sex

#ICON14 @boxoutmarketing

…everyone’s talking about it, but

no one’s really doing it.

#ICON14 @boxoutmarketing

Testing Must Become a Habit

#ICON14 @boxoutmarketing

Split TestSubject 1: How tradition

may be hurting those you love

Subject 2: Don’t shoe your horse until you know

ALL these facts...

ResultsVersion 2: 99% more

clicksVersion 2: 104% more

optins785 total new leads

Testing Process• Start where you get the most traffic

• Do something drastic. Beware of the law of diminishing returns

• Use a tracking tool (Google Expirements) to measure responses

• Report your findings with your team.

• Success is contagious.

#ICON14 @boxoutmarketing

Summary• Successful campaigns aren’t built in tools.

• They’re created through a systematic process of identifying where your prospects are and where they want to go and then helping them get there.

• Actually building your campaign is the last step after actually determining how the campaign will be successful.
