Ever find yourself rewriting the same email… for the 47th time? 🙃 This episode is your permission slip to stop winging it and start winning with strategic, automated email systems.
I’m joined by the brilliant Colie James — systems strategist, filmmaker, and email template queen — and she’s here to help you transform your client communication from chaos to clarity. We talk about how to set up automations that feel human, save hours of admin time, and actually wow your clients from first inquiry to final delivery.
Whether you’re a photographer, creative service provider, or business owner tired of copy-paste stress, this episode will show you how to work smarter with emails that do the heavy lifting for you.
In this episode, we talk about:
Why your email systems might be silently sabotaging your client experience
Colie’s favorite tools (Dubsado, HoneyBook, Airtable!) and how she uses them
Ways to make email automations feel personal, not robotic
The most important emails every creative should automate
How to get off the rewrite hamster wheel and build trust from the inbox
Why automations = more freedom, not less heart
