When we have a person’s birthday on file, it enables us to build goodwill by providing timely birthday messages. Combined with other data it can be used to provide a more targeted experience. For example, if we have the birthday of someone who is not yet a customer, we might send them a birthday discount in an attempt to get that first purchase.

Paul Sokol has been using Keap since it was called Infusionsoft back in 2008. He even worked for Infusionsoft directly for five years: first as a Success Coach (launching over 200 new customers on the software) and then as a Product Manager. This book is a potent distillation of automation fundamentals that Paul has discovered through his tens of thousands of hours of in-the-trenches implementation.
