PrefaceA Friendly Hello from Julie Friend and Cathy PoturnyHi there,We’re Julie Friend and Cathy Poturny, the minds behind eFriend Marketing and Creative Canvas Media. We’re excited that you’ve picked up this book, and we’re here to walk you through how automation can change the way you run your business, without all the stress.Let’s Start with a StoryImagine you’re running a mid-sized architectural rm in Iowa. Your team is top-notch, and you’ve built a great reputation for designing commercial spaces all over the state. But with every new project comes an avalanche of tasks, client follow-ups, sending out project proposals, managing deadlines, and handling inquiries. Your days are spent juggling so many details that it feels like you’re doing less designing and more reghting.Now picture this: instead of manually chasing after every lead or keep-ing tabs on every little deadline, you’ve got systems in place that take care of these tasks automatically. Emails go out to clients without you hitting “send,” project updates are delivered right on time, and new leads are nur-tured from the moment they show interest, without you lifting a nger. You’ve got the space to focus on what you love: creating those awe-inspiring designs.That’s what automation does. It’s like having an invisible assistant who’s always on top of things, so you can focus on growing your business, not just running it.

It’s like your own project manager that never misses a beat, while you stay focused on the bigger picture, delivering your next great design or closing that big contract.We’ve Been Where You AreIf you’ve ever felt like you’re drowning in tasks that keep you from grow-ing your business, we know how that feels.

The Problem?Too Much Work, Not Enough TimeYou’ve got a lot on your plate. Running a business means juggling sales, leads, and customers—all at once. But there’s only one of you, and there’s only so much time in the day. You want more sales, growth, and loyal cus-tomers, but doing it all manually is holding you back.The Solution! Automation Saves the DayImagine if you didn’t have to do everything yourself. Automation helps you take care of repetitive tasks, like sending follow-up emails or checking on leads, so you can focus on what matters—growing your business.13The Power of Automation in Sales and Growth13The Power of Automation in Sales and Growth

Lesson 1 Turn Visitors into Customers Automatically When someone visits your website, they’re interested. But what if they don’t buy right away? Don’t let them disappear. Use automated email workows to follow up with them after they visit high-intent pages (like pricing or product pages). This way, you can keep them engaged without lifting a nger.Example: When someone visits your pricing page, your automation sys-tem sends them a friendly email: “Need help choosing the right option? Let’s talk.” Now they’re more likely to get in touch, and you don’t have to do a thing.Lesson 2 Book More Meetings with Less EortYour sales team is busy. They can’t chase every lead. But automation can help by sending personalized emails to leads who visit your site, oering them a simple way to book a meeting.Example: After a visitor clicks through your product page, automation kicks in, sending them an email from a sales rep with a link to book a meeting. The visitor feels special because it looks like the email is just for them.15The Power of Automation in Sales and Growth15The Power of Automation in Sales and Growth

Lesson 1 Send Personal Messages Automatically Customers want to feel valued, and nothing says “we care” like a personal message. With automation, you can send tailored emails that show your appreciation—without typing a word.Example: After a customer makes a purchase, they automatically receive a “thank you” email with a discount on their next order. It feels personal, but you didn’t have to lift a nger.Lesson 2 Never Miss a Chance to DelightYour customers’ birthdays, anniversaries with your business, or season-al holidays—these are perfect moments to connect.

Chapter ThreeEngage Prospects and Build Lasting Relationships

Chapter OverviewThis chapter shows how automation can handle the prospect engage-ment process, from sending personalized follow-ups to qualifying leads and using chatbots for real-time interactions. Engage Prospects and Build Lasting Relationships

The Problem?Reaching Everyone Is ImpossibleYou want to engage with every potential customer who shows interest in your business. But there’s a problem—there are too many of them, and not enough time. Trying to reach out to each person manually? It’s ex-hausting and impossible to do eectively.The Solution! Automate Prospect EngagementAutomation allows you to connect with hundreds of potential custom-ers—automatically. It personalizes each message based on where a pros-pect is in their buying journey, keeping your brand in front of them until they’re ready to act.29Engage Prospects and Build Lasting Relationships

Lesson 1 Personalize Messages at Scale You don’t have to send generic, boring emails. Automation helps you tai-lor messages based on a prospect’s activity, like visiting certain pages or downloading resources. When the right message lands at the right time, it feels personal—even when it’s automated.Example: When a prospect downloads a resource from your website, they automatically receive a follow-up email oering more insights or a product demo. The system keeps the conversation going, and your brand stays top-of-mind.Lesson 2 Qualify Leads Without Lifting a FingerNot every prospect is ready to buy. Some are just browsing. But how do you know who’s serious? Automate lead qualication through smart workows that prioritize high-interest prospects. Let automation deter-mine who’s worth your time and ready for a deeper conversation.Example:When a prospect visits your pricing page, automation ags them as a high-priority lead and noties your sales team. Now you know they’re interested—without spending hours sorting through lists of contacts.30Click • Send • Sell

Lesson 3 Use Chatbots to Engage in Real TimeChatbots are like your tireless sales assistants, working 24/7 to engage pros-pects. They can answer common questions, guide visitors through your site, and even capture leads for follow-up. Best of all, they never need a break.Example:A prospect browsing your website asks a question via a chatbot. The bot provides helpful info and, if the prospect seems like a good lead, passes it on to your sales team. You just gained a warm lead, automatically.31Engage Prospects and Build Lasting Relationships

Chapter FourAccelerating Growth with Smarter, Faster DecisionsScaling Without Losing the Personal TouchScaling Without Losing the Personal Touch

Chapter OverviewThis chapter emphasizes how automation can assist in accelerating busi-ness growth through data-driven decisions, lead scoring, A/B testing, and real-time performance tracking. Accelerating Growth with Smarter, Faster Decisions

The Problem?Growing Your Business Takes TimeYou want to scale your business, make faster decisions, and act on oppor-tunities. But there’s too much data; without a dened system, it’s hard to know what deserves your attention. How do you move quickly while still making the right calls?The Solution! Automate Data-Driven DecisionsWith automation, you can make informed decisions faster. By setting up systems that monitor leads, sales activities, and customer engagement, you can automatically sort through the data, identify high-value pros-pects, and prioritize them for action. No more guessing. Let automation think for you.37Accelerating Growth with Smarter, Faster Decisions

Lesson 1 Focus on the Leads That Matter Most Not every lead is equal. Some are ready to buy, and some need more time. But how do you know who’s who? Lead scoring automation assigns points to prospects based on their behavior—like visiting key pages or opening emails. The higher the score, the hotter the lead.Example: A prospect visits your website multiple times, clicks on a product page, and opens your emails. Automation scores them highly, telling your sales team to prioritize this lead. Without wasting time, you immediately know who’s worth following up with.38Click • Send • Sell

Lesson 2 Constantly Improve with A/B TestingYou don’t have to guess what works best in your marketing—automate A/B testing to let the data show you. With automation, you can run con-tinuous tests on emails, landing pages, and even CTAs to see what drives the most engagement. Once you know, you can optimize your entire strategy based on real results.Example:Automation runs an A/B test on two versions of your email subject lines—one casual, one formal. After testing, you see the casual version has a higher open rate. From now on, you send emails with a casual tone, driving more opens and en-gagement.Lesson 3Track Performance in Real TimeYour business decisions shouldn’t rely on outdated information. Auto-mation helps by tracking real-time data on your leads, sales, and cus-tomer interactions. With dashboards and automated reports, you’ll al-ways know where you stand and what’s working.Example:Every week, an automated report lands in your inbox, sum-marizing how many leads were generated, which sales were closed, and what campaigns performed best. Now you’re making decisions based on real-time data without spending hours gathering it.39Accelerating Growth with Smarter, Faster Decisions

Chapter FiveScaling Without Losing the Personal Touch

Chapter OverviewThis chapter addresses the fear that automation might make customer relationships feel impersonal, showing how automation can enhance per-sonalization and loyalty, even as the business growsScaling Without Losing the Personal Touch

The Problem?Growth Can Feel ImpersonalAs your business scales, it becomes harder to maintain the same personal touch with customers. You’re sending more emails, getting more leads, and handling more inquiries. How do you keep each interaction meaning-ful without it becoming overwhelming?The Solution! Automation with a Personal TwistWith the right automation tools, you can keep that personal connection even while growing your business. By combining personalized emails, SMS, and pre-recorded voice messages, you can communicate with cus-tomers in ways that feel thoughtful and personal—even though they’re automated.45Scaling Without Losing the Personal Touch

Lesson 1 Use Emails to Stay Connected and Relevant Emails are still a powerful way to engage with customers, especially when personalized and timely. Automation lets you create email workows that respond to customer actions, keeping your communications relevant and valuable.Example: A customer visits your site but doesn’t make a purchase. Short-ly after, they receive a personalized email oering help, such as “Hey [First Name], noticed you were checking out [Product Name]. Need any assistance? We’re here to help!” This keeps the conversation going without overwhelming the customer, and you don’t need to send the email manually.Lesson 2 Add SMS to Reach Customers InstantlyEmails are great, but sometimes your message needs to land right away. With SMS, you can instantly reach your customers and prospects on their phones. SMS is perfect for time-sensitive oers, conrmations, or quick reminders.Example: After a customer signs up for a demo, they get a follow-up SMS: “Hi [First Name], thank you for booking your demo with us! Can’t wait to show you how [Product Name] can help your business.” This SMS feels personal, but it’s entirely automated and imme-diate.email is just for them.46Click • Send • Sell

Lesson 3 Enhance Your Outreach with Pre-Recorded Voicemails Voice communication adds a personal touch that text alone can’t match. Pre-recorded voicemails allow you to leave thoughtful, voice-based mes-sages for customers without having to make the calls yourself. These mes-sages can remind, nudge, or simply thank customers.Example: After a customer makes their second purchase, they receive a pre-recorded voicemail saying, “Hi [First Name], this is [Your Business]. Thank you for being a loyal customer! We’ve set up an exclusive discount for your next purchase—check your email for the details.” It feels personal and thoughtful, even though it’s automated.Lesson 4 Enhance Your Outreach with Pre-Recorded Voicemails Whisper calls can serve as gentle, personal reminders to keep your cus-tomers engaged. These pre-recorded calls allow you to check in without taking time away from your team, ensuring no customer feels neglected.Example: A potential customer books a demo but hasn’t conrmed. A whisper call is triggered automatically, leaving a message like, “Hi [First Name], we noticed you haven’t confirmed your demo with [Your Business]. I’m just checking in to see if you’re still inter-ested—we’d love to help!” This keeps the customer moving for-ward without requiring your team to make calls manually.49Scaling Without Losing the Personal Touch

Chapter SixTesting and Optimizing Your Automation for Maximum Growth

Chapter OverviewThis chapter emphasizes the importance of A/B testing and continuous optimization through automation, providing clear lessons on testing and improving emails, SMS, and landing pages for maximum eectiveness. Testing and Optimizing Your Automation for Maximum Growth

The Problem?Not Knowing What WorksYou’re running campaigns, sending emails, and engaging customers, but how do you know if it’s working? Without testing, you’re making guesses—and guessing won’t help your business grow. You need to know what’s driving sales, engaging your audience, and where to improve.The Solution! A/B Testing and Continuous OptimizationAutomation doesn’t just handle tasks—it also gives you the tools to test and rene your strategy. With A/B testing, you can easily compare dier-ent versions of emails, SMS messages, landing pages, and more to see what resonates most with your audience. This isn’t about doing more work—it’s about doing smarter work.55Testing and Optimizing Your Automation for Maximum Growth

Lesson 1 Test Your Emails for Better Results A/B testing your emails is the fastest way to nd out what works. Test sub-ject lines, body content, and CTAs to see what makes people open, click, and engage. Automation makes it easy to run these tests without extra eort.Example: You send two versions of an email to a sample of your list. One email has a subject line that’s direct, and the other is more play-ful. Automation tracks which one gets more opens. Once you know which subject line works, that version is automatically sent to the rest of your audience.Lesson 2 Optimize SMS Messages with Simple TweaksSMS is a fast and direct way to reach your audience, but that doesn’t mean you should stick with a one-size-ts-all approach. A/B test your SMS mes-sages to nd the right length, tone, and timing that engages your custom-ers.Example: You test two versions of a follow-up SMS. One is a short mes-sage, and the other includes more detail. Automation tracks which message gets more responses, helping you decide which version to roll out moving forward.57Testing and Optimizing Your Automation for Maximum Growth

Lesson 3 Test Your Landing Pages for Higher Conversions Your landing pages are critical touchpoints in your customer’s journey. Whether capturing leads or showcasing a new product, testing dierent page layouts, images, and CTAs can reveal what gets visitors to take ac-tion.Example: You test two versions of a landing page—one with a bold CTA button and another with a more subtle design. Automation tracks which version gets more sign-ups, and you can immedi-ately optimize your page based on real data.Lesson 4 Analyze and Adjust in Real-TimeWhat is the best part of using automation for testing? You don’t have to wait weeks to see the results. Automation gives you real-time data on what’s working and what’s not. With easy-to-read reports and insights, you can adjust your strategy quickly.Example:After running A/B tests on your emails, landing pages, and SMS messages, you get a report that shows which versions per-formed better. Automation helps you make data-driven deci-sions, so you can optimize your strategy on the y. book a meet-ing.

Chapter SevenTracking Performance and Making Data-Driven Decisions

Chapter OverviewThis chapter focuses on the benets of real-time data tracking, automated reports, and making informed decisions based on key metrics. It empha-sizes how automation simplies data gathering and performance analy-sis, allowing businesses to focus on growth. Tracking Performance and Making Data-Driven Decisions

The Problem?Flying Blind Without DataYou’ve automated your marketing eorts and started seeing results, but how do you know if your strategy is really paying o? Without data, you’re left guessing about what’s working and what’s not. You need a clear pic-ture of your marketing performance to make better decisions, but gather-ing and analyzing data can be time-consuming.The Solution! Let Automation Track Your SuccessAutomation doesn’t just handle the tasks—it also provides you with the insights you need to grow. By tracking your performance in real-time, au-tomation allows you to see exactly what’s driving results. Whether track-ing email open rates, SMS click-throughs, or overall lead engagement, au-tomation gives you the data you need to make smart, informed decisions.65Tracking Performance and Making Data-Driven Decisions

Lesson 1 Keep an Eye on the Right Metrics Not all metrics matter equally. To truly understand the impact of your marketing, you need to focus on the right key performance indicators (KPIs). Automation can track these metrics for you—whether it’s lead gen-eration, email performance, or customer retention.Example: With automation, you can monitor your email open rates, click-through rates, and conversion rates—all in one dashboard. This data helps you see which campaigns are hitting the mark and which need improvement.Lesson 2 Generate Automated Reports to Save TimeForget about manually pulling reports from multiple sources. Automation consolidates all your data into easy-to-read reports, showing you how your campaigns are performing in real-time. Whether you want a weekly summary or need a monthly deep dive, automated reports save you time and help you stay on top of your marketing eorts.Example:Every Monday, you automatically receive a performance report in your inbox, showing how your emails, SMS, and lead genera-tion eorts performed the previous week. This lets you quickly assess what’s working and where to adjust without spending hours on data collection.66Click • Send • Sell

Lesson 3 Identify What Drives Growth with Lead InsightsAutomation goes beyond surface-level data. By tracking lead behavior, you can see exactly what’s driving engagement. Whether it’s website vis-its, downloads, or social media interactions, automation gives insights into which actions are moving leads through your funnel.Example: You can see which leads engage with your high-value content, visit key pages, or interact with your emails and SMS messages. This data helps you prioritize the leads most likely to convert, empowering your sales team to focus on what matters most.Lesson 4 Make Data-Driven Adjustments in Real-TimeWith real-time tracking, you don’t have to wait to see the results of your eorts. Automation allows you to adjust your strategy on the go, rening your campaigns based on what’s working right now.Example:After reviewing your automated reports, you notice that one SMS campaign performs better than others. You immediately adjust your future messages to mimic the style and timing of the winning campaign, optimizing results in real-time.69Tracking Performance and Making Data-Driven Decisions

Chapter EightScaling Your Business with Automation

Chapter OverviewThis chapter highlights how automation enables businesses to scale smoothly by automating customer journeys, onboarding processes, marketing eorts, and day-to-day tasks. It reassures readers that growth doesn’t have to come with increased workload and encourages them to take action. Scaling Your Business with AutomationPage Intentionally Left Blank

The Problem?Growing Without Losing ControlYour business is expanding, and with growth comes complexity, more leads, more customers, more campaigns—and more potential for things to slip through the cracks. You want to scale, but how do you maintain quality and stay on top of everything as your business grows?The Solution! Automation Helps You Scale EortlesslyAutomation allows your business to grow without adding extra stress. It handles repetitive tasks, organizes workows, and keeps communica-tions consistent. Whether you’re managing a small team or a large one, automation scales with you, helping you stay organized, ecient, and focused on growth.75Scaling Your Business with Automation

Lesson 1 Automate Customer Journeys for Consistency As your customer base grows, providing a consistent experience at every stage of the buyer’s journey is important. Automation allows you to create structured workows that guide prospects from awareness to decision, ensuring no customer is left behind.Example: As your leads engage with dierent parts of your website, they automatically enter tailored email and SMS workows that nur-ture them at every step. Whether downloading content, sched-uling demos, or asking for pricing, automation ensures they get the right message at the right time—without you having to man-age it manually.Lesson 2 Automate Onboarding to Save TimeWhen you’re growing, onboarding new customers or team members can quickly become a bottleneck. Automation can streamline the onboarding process by sending automated welcome emails, setup instructions, or training materials to new customers and sta.Example:: When a new customer signs up, they receive a series of auto-mated emails that guide them through setting up their account, booking a product demo, and accessing key resources. This allows you to onboard customers smoothly without requiring constant manual oversight.Lesson 3 77Scaling Your Business with Automation

Use Automation to Expand Your Marketing Eorts As you grow, you’ll need to run more marketing campaigns, create more content, and engage with more customers—all while maintaining the same level of quality. Automation lets you expand your eorts without spreading your team too thin. From running multiple campaigns to A/B testing new ideas, automation keeps everything running smoothly.Example: You can run email, SMS, and social media campaigns in parallel, with automated workows keeping each channel aligned. Au-tomation also ensures that each message is personalized and sent at the right time, regardless of how many campaigns you manage.Lesson 4 Scale Without Increasing Your WorkloadGrowth doesn’t have to mean more work. Automation can handle many day-to-day tasks that come with scaling a business, such as sending fol-low-ups, tracking leads, and managing data. This frees you and your team to focus on strategy and big-picture decisions rather than getting bogged down in the details.Example: Instead of manually tracking lead data, automation does it for you. It scores leads, follows up with prospects, and even sched-ules reminders for your sales team—allowing them to focus on closing deals, not administrative tasks.78Click • Send • Sell
