Frequently Asked Questions

Does it matter which email tech I use?

Nope!

Whatever email tech you're using right now, from MailChimp to HubSpot and everything in between, we've got you covered.

It's not what you've got, it's what you DO with it that matters, and we're here to help you, regardless of the tech tool you've chosen to use to send your emails.

We started out specialising in ActiveCampaign users, then threw the Academy doors open to all email marketing platforms.

MailerLite, Kit, Klaviyo, FluentCRM etc all welcome - and we have resident Guest Experts on each of the major platforms to jump in with help on finding the right buttons!

Inside our trainings we often use ActiveCampaign to demo, but we can help with implementation on any platform, and will always get stuck in to help you figure it out fast.

Why do we need this on top of paying for our email tech tool?

Honestly - paying for swishy Email & Automation tech without knowing how to get value from it is like buying a Ferrari and leaving it parked on your driveway.

Think of it like having an expert driving instructor to show you everything from how to turn on the engine without stalling, to how to pull a handbrake-turn on the race-track - so you get maximum ROI from all that shiny tech without a painful journey.

The alternatives?

You could work it all out on your own - but that's like bouncing your Ferrari around the parking lot for a few months. Time-consuming, frustrating- and it winds up with banged-up systems, emails sent to the wrong people & costly customer-facing errors. Urgh - I've seen these messed up email setups and it is NOT pretty.

You could use the tech support desk - but that's like asking the sales-dude at the Ferrari show-room to teach you to drive it. They won't help with strategy or have deep experience of how email marketing works in the real world of your business. And that's if you can even get a real human to talk to you, never mind the AI "help" bots!

You could hire someone who says they have mad email & tech skills to do it for you - but that's like hiring a random chauffeur to take you to the corner store. Your Ferrari gets a few more miles on it, but you're none the wiser and now have a big hole in your bank account.

Regular access to truly expert support and training to use the tech you're paying for has a huge impact on increasing your ROI from that tech. This Academy gives you that.

I’m short on time already - how will this help me?

Automating more of your business will free up your time - but how do you fit in the time to get the right automation in place… It’s a bit chicken-and-egg, right?

In the Academy, we show you where the low-hanging fruit is, to get the biggest time-sucks off your table fast, and take you quickly step by step through how to automate each process.

And we're built to serve real business humans like you, who need to fit action and progress into small chunks of time - no fluff, no fillers, no faffing about.

Like this:

5 mins:
Scan the weekly email for quick learning and news
Ask for help in the Community to get unstuck

10 mins:
search the Knowledge Base to grab a new sneaky move, watch a mini-tutorial on a real use-case or a figure out feature you need to use right away

20 mins:
drop in to Office Hours for a mini-consult with Kay or to lurk and work

Longer:
4 x 15 mins to watch training videos and improve skills
2 x 60 mins to nail an automation or integration with real-time support from Kay
1 day to watch and fully implement the email deliverability training

I’m new to email marketing - can you help me get started?

Yes. We meet you where you’re at, with no overwhelm, all the support you need, and early easy wins.

If you’re a new email sender, or migrating from one tool to another, we’ll help you get the scary-sounding foundations like email authentication right, alongside how to actually write and send regular emails without the overwhelm.

Great for training up a new team member without breaking all the things too - just add them as your free bonus nominee.

Start with our Essential level if you're a new email sender.

Our email tech is in a mess - can you help us untangle things?

Yes.  We provide focussed support, tools and training to untangle, tidy up, and clean up contacts.

In fact, this is our top most appreciated content inside the academy!

You’re not alone, it’s not your fault, and we’re experts in helping de-mess email & automation systems accounts to where they’re a joy to work for your team, with happy profitable leads and buyers.

As part of the membership you get access to priority booking and discounted rates for our 1:1 services so if you need really BIG untangling help we can accomodate that too.

Can my VA / employee / freelancer get access too?

Yes - and it’s totally legit, and included for free for every member, with our Nominee system

Each Academy member can nominate one person who works in their business to get access to everything the member has.

Because two heads are better than one when it comes to email tech, right?

We built this in from the start of the Academy at the request of our members - so there's no need to sneak around to get the access you need to work as a team.

We just need to get it done - can we hire you?

You can book 1:1 time with me via our Consultancy Services - members of the Academy get discounted rates but the you're welcome to book if you're not a member at this time.

This service is great to get a jump start on how to work through a big project, strategy crunch, or untangling a big mess.

If you need an extra pair of hands for ongoing implementation after your 1:1 consultation, we can match-make you with an experienced Service Provider who has trained with us.

I want ninja Email Marketing skills - what’s in there for me?

The best, fastest way to become a ninja is to learn from a ninja-master.

She’s the uber-ninja - and you're invited to come learn alongside in our Advanced level.

My email tech does not use English as the main language - can you still help me?

Yes.

We have many members using tech accounts in languages other than English, and find that we can troubleshoot those accounts just as effectively as English-language accounts with a little patience and persistence.

All teaching and communication is inside the Academy is conducted in UK English so a good command of spoken and written English is needed. We always do our best to use plain English, and take time to make sure everyone has a shared understanding.
