A CRM and automation platform used by coaches, agencies, and training brands to run pipelines, funnels, and email in one place.
Read ↗Pipeline, nurture, Klaviyo, snapshots, show rate. Not a dictionary of software features — notes on what usually fails, and what to make true.
These are operating words. If your team uses them and cannot audit them, the CRM is folklore. Pick the term you keep saying in meetings. Read the failure. Then open the related problem page.
A term is useful when a new hire can explain it without a story.
If two people use the same word for opposite stages, reporting is theatre.
Software does not install meaning. You write the definition, then the field.
Each note is: what usually fails, what to make true, where to read next.
If the leak is already expensive, skip the glossary and talk.
A CRM and automation platform used by coaches, agencies, and training brands to run pipelines, funnels, and email in one place.
Read ↗An ecommerce email and SMS platform. Flows do the compounding work; campaigns should not replace them.
Read ↗Designing the path after acquisition: nurture, purchase, retain, re-engage — as one system.
Read ↗Keeping and growing existing customers. For DTC this is flows and LTV. For coaches this is show-rate, delivery, and re-enrollment.
Read ↗What a customer is worth over time. Acquisition without LTV is a treadmill.
Read ↗The source of truth for queries, pages, CTR, and positions. Useless if nobody sequences the work.
Read ↗Behavior and landing data. Combined with GSC it becomes an operating loop, not a dashboard hobby.
Read ↗Damir’s productized loop: connect GSC, GA4, and the live site, then rank what to fix, publish, link, and measure.
Read ↗A packaged CRM configuration. Governance matters more than the zip file.
Read ↗Stages with exit rules. If 'won' is a feeling, reporting is fiction.
Read ↗A sequenced set of messages with one job each, routed to a human when it matters.
Read ↗Whether you reach the inbox. Domain auth, list hygiene, and complaint rate are the system.
Read ↗A flow, not three panic coupons. Timing should match AOV and consideration.
Read ↗A finite sequence for lapsed buyers with a stop rule. Not a forever discount.
Read ↗The operating layer after the order: shipping truth, use, second purchase, review — in that order.
Read ↗Senior ownership of a 90-day sequence. Not a title on a Slack channel.
Read ↗Register, remind, attend, replay, offer — as one CRM journey, not five tools.
Read ↗Video sales letter. Follow-up must change with watch state or you paid for a video, not a system.
Read ↗Quiz and scoring. Only useful when outcomes write into CRM stages.
Read ↗Scheduling. Show rate is an ops number; the CRM has to see every booking.
Read ↗How campaigns survive into the CRM. If they die on the thank-you page, reporting is cosplay.
Read ↗Recency, frequency, monetary. A sane way to stop emailing everyone the same thing.
Read ↗A respectful end for unengaged contacts. Protects deliverability and sanity.
Read ↗How pages pass authority. Isolated posts start from zero every time.
Read ↗Structured data that helps machines parse your expertise. Necessary, not sufficient.
Read ↗Answer engines cite structured, authoritative content. Unstructured expertise is easy to skip.
Read ↗Templated pages at scale. Safe only with whitelist combinations and unique substance.
Read ↗How search engines spend attention on your URLs. Thin doorway pages waste it.
Read ↗Being understandable and citable to answer engines, not just ranking a blue link.
Read ↗Offers that require application, proof, and paced nurture. Checkout-link thinking cheapens them.
Read ↗A timed group program. Onboarding is part of the product.
Read ↗A filter with manners. Incomplete and unfit applicants get different paths.
Read ↗Time from inbound to human. Routing rules make it a number, not a hope.
Read ↗A designed path after a missed appointment. Calendars fill with ghosts otherwise.
Read ↗Reusable merge fields. Junk drawers here break every email.
Read ↗A naming spec for source, offer, and status — kept separate on purpose.
Read ↗The Klaviyo number that tells you if a flow earns its keep.
Read ↗Flows compound. Campaigns pulse. If campaigns do both jobs, fatigue wins.
Read ↗Brand and proof before the coupon. Preference capture belongs here.
Read ↗A lighter touch than cart. Collision with cart flow is the usual failure.
Read ↗Removing the dead weight so the living list still reaches the inbox.
Read ↗SPF, DKIM, DMARC. Non-optional if you send for a living.
Read ↗Who can change the core CRM package, how locations are notified, how you roll back.
Read ↗One core, local exceptions on purpose, reporting that rolls up.
Read ↗Written assignment rules, overflow, and visibility when leads get stolen.
Read ↗Company and buyer are different objects. Training brands that skip this stall at renewal.
Read ↗The path after a program. Without it, every launch starts from zero reputation.
Read ↗Two calendars that must coexist in one CRM without trashing the list.
Read ↗Failed payment recovery with access rules and a human save path.
Read ↗A group you do not mail so you can see if the send actually moved revenue.
Read ↗Who must not get this message. Layered, not a single 'unsubscribe' hope.
Read ↗Whether Klaviyo actually sees viewed product and cart. Setup theater is common.
Read ↗The event every ecommerce flow depends on. If it is dirty, every metric is dirty.
Read ↗The conversion that turns a buyer into a customer. Post-purchase exists for this.
Read ↗Predictable reorder timing. Consumable brands that skip it rent customers.
Read ↗Peak planned in Q-minus-1. Flows stay on. Post-peak win-back is booked in advance.
Read ↗Queries grouped by job-to-be-done, not by whoever shouted the keyword first.
Read ↗URLs sitting in positions 8–20. Often the fastest organic work if you sequence it.
Read ↗A hub and supporting pages that share internal links on purpose.
Read ↗Coverage deep enough that search and answer engines can treat you as a source.
Read ↗Someone who owns the system, not just the idea. Damir’s default working mode.
Read ↗A scoped offer with a repeating delivery, not a custom everything-shop.
Read ↗Each month’s work makes the next month cheaper. Isolated activity does the opposite.
Read ↗Working notes
How to think with machines without turning your business into a prompt farm. Request the file. It arrives by email — not a public dump, not a drip of slogans.
