Multi-stage screening, real lifecycle and deliverability problems as the audition, references called. 100% Identity-verified and criminal-background-checked. You choose what access to give, and you can remove it any time. Week 2 Is when your first lifecycle email goes live. Welcome, abandoned flow, post-purchase, win-back. Pick three. If you have a list you’re not emailing consistently, or emails going out that aren’t doing much, this is what the first 30 days look like when someone skilled takes ownership of the channel. ## What your first 30 days look like. Every engagement starts with a kickoff call with your account manager. The goal is simple: understand your business, your audience, your current email setup, and the full scope of support you need. From there, we match you with an email specialist based on personality, experience, and skill set, not simply availability. Once read-only access is granted to your ESP, the timeline below begins. Day 1-5 ### Your list audit. The email specialist matched to you gets into your ESP, reviews the last 30 days of sends, and delivers a written audit by the end of your first week: open / click / unsubscribe trends and the deliverability gaps to fix first. Day 12 ### Lifecycle map + first template. Welcome, post-purchase, win-back, and broadcast cadence mapped and documented. First broadcast template drafted in your voice and ready for your approval. Day 21 ### First lifecycle live. First broadcast sent. Deliverability monitored daily. A report in your inbox showing open / click / conversion against last month’s baseline, with the two changes that moved the numbers. Day 30 ### Weekly cadence running. One broadcast a week, lifecycle on autopilot, deliverability checked weekly. By month two, you have a channel that works without your attention. Sender reputation is up, list churn is down, and the dashboard is someone else’s job. No contracts. Month to month. [Book a discovery call](/book-call/) to get started. The actual comparison ## Not the $5/hr email VA tier. The in-house email lead tier. A senior email specialist running your list, for what you’d spend on a junior in-house hire. Minus the recruiting, the tool training, and the year of getting deliverability right.

The person you actually call. Every account has a dedicated account manager, separate from your email specialist. They run the kickoff, own the match, and are the person you reach if something needs to be rematched, escalated, or just sanity-checked. Every assignment has a quality bar. You aren’t the one chasing it. **One dedicated match.** If your assistant ever needs to change, we run the handover. From clients ## Real reviewers. Real names.
