Tue Feb 03 2026
You’ve got a lead magnet that people are downloading, but then...crickets? Let’s fix that!
In this Email Empire episode Allison Hardy breaks down the real MVP of your email funnel: the nurture sequence. It’s not about fluff or filler, it’s about helping your email subscriber see their problem differently so they’re primed to buy before you ever pitch.
If you’ve ever felt like your email funnel isn’t selling the way it should, this episode is your behind-the-scenes look at what’s missing, and how to fix it.
TAKEAWAYS:
A nurture sequence isn’t just a warm welcome, it’s a strategic series of emails designed to shift your lead’s mindset and get them ready to buy.Unlike a welcome sequence, your nurture sequence focuses on your subscriber’s pain points, assumptions, and logical next steps, not on you.The goal isn’t to sell immediately, but to reveal new layers of their problem so your offer becomes the clear solution.Allison shares two concrete examples (including her own $80K email template funnel) to show how well-crafted nurture sequences do the heavy lifting before the pitch even hits.LINKS YOU MIGHT FIND HELPFUL:
