Marketing
5-Letter Welcome Sequence
A new lead receives the right email at the right moment — built on the proven Thanks → Value → Proof → CTA → Trust framework.
The problem
A lead downloads your guide and forgets you exist. A week later they buy from a competitor — because no one stayed in their inbox while they were warm.
- ▸ 7+ touch points needed before purchase (Rule of 7/8/10/20)
- ▸ Email open rates fall below 15% without proper warmup
- ▸ 60-80% of leads never get a single follow-up email manually
Our solution
Triggered ActiveCampaign sequence fires the moment a lead opts in: Email 1 (Thanks + delivery), Email 2 (Value/use case), Email 3 (Social proof), Email 4 (Strong CTA), Email 5 (Trust). Goal-hit logic stops the sequence the moment the lead converts.
How it works
- 01Trigger tagMake.com tags the contact in ActiveCampaign with form_ebook_opt_in_submitted (or equivalent) on form submit.
- 02Email 1 — ThanksSent within 2 minutes. Delivers the lead magnet PDF, sets expectations for the next emails.
- 03Email 2 — ValueSent +24h. One concrete use case or insight from the guide. Soft CTA to read or watch more.
- 04Email 3 — Social proofSent +48h. Customer story or case with measurable result. Builds credibility.
- 05Email 4 — Strong CTASent +72h. Direct ask: book a call / start trial / claim discount. Time-bounded if relevant.
- 06Email 5 — TrustSent +120h. Founder note, FAQ, or guarantee — for leads who almost converted but hesitated.
- 07Goal-hit auto-stopIf lead books a call, makes a purchase, or hits any goal stage — Jump-To node removes them from the sequence and updates Pipedrive stage.
