This playbook contains core sequences and resources you can implement immediately to start capturing revenue you're currently losing. Each sequence includes exact timing, subject lines, copy frameworks, and best practices you can use right away.

The Revenue Opportunity

Most stores only capture 10% of their email potential. Without proper lifecycle sequences, you are leaving $10-15K on the table for every $50K in revenue generated.

The Reality Check

If you aren't running these 3 sequences, you are essentially paying to acquire customers just to let them leave.
