Hi. I’m Kay
The Email & Automation Strategist helping Small Businesses marketers get more profitable juice out of their tech
I’m going to level with you - Email & Automation queen isn’t the career I had in mind when I left school.
But there is literally nothing else I’d rather be working on!
To help convince you that I am one of the world’s most experienced email & automation tech specialist trainer, and an excellent imparter of Email & Automation strategy, please come with me on a rapid review of my life so far...
I promise, it’s just the edited highlights and will take just a few moments
The Edited Highlights
I live in Cornwall, just 12 miles from where I grew up (I did leave for a bit, but this place is addictive)
Cornwall was beloved to me already (beaches, sea, language and culture), but when they installed SuperFast Broadband I was smitten forever.
I trained and qualified to be a maths teacher.
Because loved teaching complicated concepts, figuring out the best way to explain something, and seeing that moment of joyful understanding sweep across a learner’s face.
But... it turns out that I didn’t love teaching large groups of teens…..and they apparently weren’t that fond of me either.
So I turned my attention to adult learners, working with the NHS and the Open University (and some other places that are less impressive and so don’t get a mention).
I realised that teaching people who had chosen to learn the subject you were teaching was a lot more rewarding.
Then I had kids, and ran into some health issues (not the kids' fault!) so I took some time out of work.
And then one day - the sliding doors moment happened...
A mum friend introduced me to using the ActiveCampaign email platform (integrated with a WordPress store) for marketing automation tech, because she knew it would appeal to my systems-loving, efficiency-craving, analytical mind...
I was hooked (massive understatement!) on how utterly brilliant modern email & automation tech is.
So over the next couple of years, I got certified on ActiveCampaign, founded Slick Business Ltd, and created the Slick Business Academy - whoop whoop!
And here we are now, offering training for small business marketers like you to get waaaay more juice from that fabulous email marketing automation tech. Winner!
Now I’m empowering businesses all over the world to make the most of their Email & Automation platforms so they can have happier customers, more sales, and slick automation.
By working with 1-1 clients, successfully improving and integrating tech eco-systems, I’ve honed my skills on the tech platforms, and developed robust automation system to make more sales, deliver a better customer experience, and create systems that truly work.
I love the big email tech platforms (especially ActiveCampaign!) but their online training and support on its own will not help you maximise the benefit of your account. Which is why I created my own Slick Business training membership.
Remember when you bought your first car? The dealer/seller would’ve given you a guided tour of what the buttons do, and handed over a manual, but they didn’t show you how to actually drive it. They certainly didn’t give you a demo of parallel parking, U-turns, handbrake turns and other cool things you can make your car do (OK, not the handbrake turns, you should not be doing those on a public road).
And they certainly didn’t give you any advice on how to avoid the many, many mistakes with a car that can land you in trouble.
That’s exactly how it is with onboarding for most email tech tools.
They’ll give you some instruction on how to interact with the platform, and show you a tour of the features.
But they don’t show you the many possibilities those features unlock for your business, or how to easily avoid small mistakes that can cause you big trouble later.
I SAW SMALL BUSINESS MARKETERS...
- NNot unlocking the full potential of their email tech platform
- NGazing at the cool wizardry some email marketers are doing, and not realising they could perform the same magic if only they knew how
- NFalling into the same hidden bear-traps, mistakes, bad habits, and easy-to-fall-into bad practice ways of working with the tech tools
- NGetting stuck in the same places when trying to get the same repetitive, routine things automated with their tech eco-system
- NFretting over email deliverability and not knowing they have control over that.
THAT MADE ME SAD
Because I love email marketing tech tools.Â
And I love small businesses (and the people working in them) even more!
