The main challenge: Improve Email Deliverability and Optimize Customer Journey

MedSchoolCoach faced significant challenges in managing their email deliverability and optimizing their customer journey. Their reliance on a manual email system resulted in high bounce rates and unsubscribe rates, which affected overall engagement and performance.

So MedSchoolCoach struggled with key questions:

  • How to improve email deliverability and reduce bounce rates?
  • How to extend the customer journey and boost engagement?
  • Were their current email strategies effectively supporting long-term growth?

MedSchoolCoach needed a comprehensive solution to automate their email campaigns, improve their deliverability, and create a seamless, extended customer journey. This involved not only addressing the technical issues within their HubSpot ecosystem but also optimizing their email flows and customer engagement strategies to ensure consistent and personalized communication.

MedSchoolCoach faced challenges with high bounce and unsubscribe rates, which hindered their email engagement and performance. By implementing a comprehensive strategy, we focused on improving email deliverability, extending the customer journey, and enhancing overall user experience.
