Most people underestimate email. But if you’re only using it to sell, you’re missing the point—and your audience is probably missing your message. In this episode, we’re breaking down how email marketing can be one of the most relationship-driven tools in your business. We talk about the “jab jab punch” approach—how giving consistent value before asking for anything creates trust that lasts. From a realtor who stayed top of mind with helpful tips to a podcast manager who turned simple emails into must-read moments, these stories show how email can quietly become your most powerful connection tool. No fancy tech required—just consistency, generosity, and intention.

What you'll learn:

• How to write emails that build trust and connection
• Simple ways to stay top of mind without being annoying
• What to send (besides a pitch) that keeps people subscribed
