What it triggers

An opening line, to show the angle. It never goes out as written.

Your user conference is 6 weeks out. The part most teams struggle with is the follow-up in the week after, want our checklist?
  • Email: A different message for each split, about the event itself.
  • LinkedIn outreach: Reach the event owner before the next one.

Where it goes wrong

  • One message for every event. Hosting a paid conference and attending a meetup are different problems.
