Existing List Sequence — 52 Claude Skills LTO
Date: May 8, 2026 Status: Draft — needs Kathryn review Platform: MailerLite Audience: Existing CIB subscribers who have NOT purchased the 52 Skills Trigger: One-time automation: in "CIB Subscribers" AND NOT in "52 Skills Buyers" Exit: Purchases 52 Skills → exits this sequence, enters Sequence B (buyer nurture) Length: 2 emails over 3 days
Why 2 Emails
$7 to warm traffic is an announcement, not a campaign. These subscribers already know Kathryn. They already ran the CIB — they've experienced the product format. The value equation is solved: 52 skills, same structure, $7.
Hormozi: perceived likelihood is established. Taki: write like a person, not a funnel. Brunson: the reframe is the hook — don't bury it in a 5-email arc. Kern: if the offer is clear and the trust exists, one email with a follow-up is honest. Five emails pitching a $7 product to people who already know you is more pressure than the price warrants.
E1 — Day 0
Subject: I built 52 of these Preview text: Same format as the CIB. $7 for all of them.
When you signed up, I had one skill to share — the Client Intelligence Brief.
Since then, I've built 52 more. Same format. Same structure — trigger moment, inputs, quality checks, output. Upload the file, run it, use the output the same day.
They cover 8 categories: business development, proposals and pricing, client onboarding, client delivery, client communication, content and visibility, operations, and practice strategy.
Proposals, SOWs, session recaps, pipeline reviews, referral asks, fee increase letters, case studies, capacity planning — if it follows a pattern you rebuild every time, there's a skill for it.
$7. One payment. Keep them all.
