*SALES EMAIL SUMMIT* Kennedy– how to make sales in the middle of your launch by doing the unexpected

The Email Sound Booth with Liz Wilcox

Alright, email nerds and biz mavens, this episode is an absolute banger! We sit down with Kennedy, a true legend in the art of the sales email, to drop truth bombs about breaking that dreaded “launch valley” you know, that snooze-fest slump in the middle of your sales campaign when the hype fizzles and your inbox starts haunting you with tumbleweeds. Kennedy spills his favorite campaign-saving secret: the “X reasons NOT to buy” email (yep, you read that right). We also dive deep into the real purpose of email (spoiler: it’s not just about open rates!), how to make your calls-to-action pop, and why doing the exact opposite of what everyone expects is pure email gold. Episode Highlights Flip the Script: Try the “Reasons Not to Buy” Email Kennedy dishes out his razor-sharp tactic to zap your list back to attention mid-launch: send a tongue-in-cheek, sarcastic email listing hilarious “reasons” NOT to buy. If your weight loss program leaves them shopping for an entire new wardrobe, poke fun at it! It’s memorable, refreshingly honest, and delivers your personality in spades. Stop Being Obvious—Obvious Is Invisible! “Anything that is obvious is invisible,” Kennedy says. (Let that marinate.) When you hit your subscribers with exactly what they expect, you become background noise. Take improv’s lead and pull an “opposite day” move with your messaging—it's the surefire way to keep your emails getting noticed and clicked. Clicks Matter More Than Opens Kennedy throws much-needed shade at the obsession with open rates—what’s the point if nobody clicks? He shares his Click Tricks playbook (fo’ free!) with creative, sometimes wild ways to present your links, because that routine “click here” is invisible now, too.

Don’t just chase opens – get them clicking, laughing, and buying. Basically: your subscribers’ attention is the hottest commodity, so keep ‘em on their toes! TL;DR: Life’s too short for basic emails and invisible CTAs. Be unexpected, your sales (and sanity) will thank you!
