A client reached out because their email sequence wasn’t working.
Emails were going out, but replies were low and follow ups were messy.
The problem wasn’t the number of emails.
It was the structure.
So I rebuilt the sequence using automation.
Here’s what changed:
Leads were tagged correctly the moment they came in
Emails were sent based on user behavior, not fixed dates
If someone replied, the sequence stopped automatically
If they clicked but didn’t respond, a different follow up kicked in
Everything synced cleanly with their CRM
No more blasting the same message to everyone.
No more awkward follow ups after someone already replied.
The client noticed the difference almost immediately.
Higher replies.
Cleaner inbox.
Less manual work.
Email sequences work best when they react to people, not timers.
That’s where automation really shines.
