Episode 106: 5 Steps To Set Up Your Email Marketing Automation Platform (The Tech Smart Boss Way)

Over the past 2 years, I’ve talked on the podcast a lot about content marketing, segmentation, customer personas, email deliverability, and automation.

But I’ve never pulled it all together into an actionable task list of how to set up an email marketing automation too to bring it all together, until this episode.
