347 - The Perfect Timing Formula for You...

LARYSSA WIRSTIUK
About this episode

What if your email campaigns are falling flat - not because your copy is bad, but because you’re saying the right thing at the wrong time?

There’s a formula to knowing when to sell and when to nurture—and no, it’s not just “follow your gut.” If your emails feel like they’re missing the mark, you might be pushing when you should be building trust… or warming up when your audience is ready to buy.

In this episode, I’ll show you how to stop guessing and start sending the right message at the right time—so you can finally get results. You’ll learn how to meet your subscribers where they are in the journey, build deeper connections, and make the ask when it matters most.

💡 You’ll learn:
✨ Why sending the wrong message at the wrong stage kills engagement—and how to fix it
✨ The 3-part Curiosity → Connection → Conversion progression for email marketing
✨ What happens when you nurture too much vs. sell too much—and how to find the balance
✨ How to use list source, behavior, and engagement clues to time your emails strategically
✨ How to apply this framework to product launches so sales feel like a natural next step

Plus, in The Gold Mine, I’m talking about the bittersweet side of growth. It’s not always the purely positive experience it’s made out to be. Sometimes, moving forward means letting go of a version of your business—or yourself—that’s been with you for a long time. I’ll share why it’s okay to feel loss alongside excitement, and how that complexity can actually make you a stronger entrepreneur.

If you’ve been stuck in a cycle of over-nurturing, over-selling, or just sending emails without a clear sense of timing, this episode will give you a practical framework to align your messages with your audience’s readiness—so your marketing works better and feels better.
