Narrative Driven Email Sequences

Here's one we created for a public speaking coach that added 40% more course registrations in 3 months...

Day 1
Subject Line: Things were bad… real bad. 


Hey,

It’s Darren here. 

You know, public speaking used to TERRIFY me. Real quick, let’s rewind to 1992…

After a crushing business failure, I’d moved back in with my parents, trying to claw my way out of debt…

Things were bad… real bad.

Driving on the I-15 one night, cassette blaring, Brian Tracy suddenly asks through the speakers, “What would you dare to dream if you knew you wouldn’t fail?”

Without missing a beat, I think, “I’d make people laugh!” 

Only problem… I wasn’t funny. Not at all. 

‘Ok, Darren. Why are you telling me this?’ you’re thinking.

Well, that night was the start of a journey. 

But it hasn’t been smooth…Actually, you won't believe the wild ride I took to get here.

And I want to bring you along!

Best,

Darren "Can't Wait to Share More" LaCroix
P.S. The journey starts tomorrow… you won't believe the response I got…


Day 2
Subject Line: Blue Screen of Death


Oh man, this was MORTIFYING…

So I gave it a shot. My friends called me crazy and stupid.

There I am on stage at a Boston comedy club, nerves fried.

What happens? 

I bomb…miserably. Like, nuclear bomb.

Then the headline comedian yells, "Keep your day job." Ouch.

But I stuck to my mentor’s advice... “Never turn down stage time.

”Ok, I’ll try something more serious", I thought.

Fast forward to a huge tech conference, I’m back on stage.

My PowerPoint freezes up. I guess it’s true… when it rains it pours.

Now I’m staring at a blue ‘screen of death’, forgetting every word I prepared. 

People start yawning and checking their phones. 

Then someone shouts "Get off the stage man!" 

People start booing! Epic fail.

But wait till you hear about the wild discovery I made!

Darren "Flops Lead to Tops" LaCroix
P.S. Next up - the story of how I stumbled on a concept that changed everything!


Day 3
Subject Line: What Have I Stumbled Upon?


After that embarrassing tech talk fiasco, I was ready to quit speaking forever. 

My self-esteem = shredded.

Then, my mentor asked something powerful…“Who are you when you're speaking on stage?" 

"I'm speaking to the audience," I said.

"No, no, no. WHO are YOU when you're speaking on stage?"

"What are you talking about?" I asked, puzzled.

"It's not about perfection, Darren. It's about AUTHENTICITY," he said.

That's when I realized - I was too caught up trying to be the "perfect" speaker. I had completely LOST myself.

After this awakening, I developed my own speaking style.

It’s focused on what I like to call 'authentic self-expression.'

And it worked. I mean, it WORKED.

Within a year I was absolutely killing it on the big stages! And now I can't wait to share it with you too.

Best,

Darren "Can't Fake Authenticity" LaCroix.
P.S. Keep your eyes peeled for the next one… I’m gonna show you how everything changed dramatically.


Day 4 
Subject Line: The Shocking Hidden Benefit


Here's something crazy I discovered once I embraced authentic speaking…

It not only improved my speeches, but my LIFE too!

I used to be anxious, unsure of myself, afraid of what people thought. 

But telling my story authentically brought out a confidence I never knew I had.

Suddenly, I could talk to anyone effortlessly. 

Job interviews were a breeze. Dating and relationships got simpler. 

It was like discovering a superpower hidden inside me this whole time.

Authentic speaking won't just transform how you present yourself on stage…It has ripple effects that can improve every area of your life. 

Unreal right?! 

But here’s the catch: you HAVE to take action and sign up for my course to experience this for yourself. 

No more waiting! 

Allow me to guide you through embracing your authentic speaking voice. 

I promise - you'll discover a whole new you in the process.

Best,
Darren "Can't Fake Authenticity" LaCroix
ps The world is waiting to see the REAL you shine bright on stage!
