TopicUpdateDecision / Next Step
🔒 Security — Pirated Plugin Identified cracked/nulled plugin as probable source of failed login attempts. Removed and replaced with licensed version. Resolved $85 spend approved by Michele. Active brute-force attempts should stop.
📧 Reengagement Campaign Initial campaign launched and completed. Over 10% of viable customers successfully reached. Monitoring for stragglers. Complete Jason will continue tracking deliverability reporting.
🌱 Spring Nurture Campaign Copy drafted. Spring seasonal insight from Michele: customers tend to wait when things start blooming — need a compelling counter-CTA. First campaign posts scheduled to launch week of April 6. In Progress Develop spring-specific CTA before launch. Add Jobber appointment link to emails (see below).
🔗 Jobber Appointment Link Michele confirmed that including a direct Jobber appointment booking link in campaign emails was highly effective in past Jobber-native sends. Customers in system clicked through easily; scheduling was frictionless. Decision Made Add Jobber appointment request link to all spring nurture campaign emails. Jason to implement.
🌐 WordPress / Security Sprint (WS1A) Jason confirmed approach: set up hosted WordPress environment, make all security and structural changes there, then copy changes over to existing live server. In Progress Staged approach confirmed. Reduces risk to live site. Opens path to fully hosted WP in future. Target: changes ready within a few days.
🏷️ Old Stump Removal Campaign Michele ran a targeted Jobber campaign for stump removal with higher club member discount. Result: bookings made + enthusiastic customer response. Noted Validates club segmentation strategy. Rob and Michele are proactively exploring campaign opportunities — keep lines open for ad-hoc ideas.
📩 Email Overlap Concern Michele had concern that structured nurture campaign might duplicate Jobber's automatic follow-up. Clarified: the two campaigns are distinct flows and do not overlap. Resolved Michele aligned. Encouraged to keep questions coming.
Workstream Scope Summary
WSNameWhat Gets BuiltDeliveryFeeWordPress?
1A Security Hardening WordFence, 2FA, plugin audit, backups, GA4 + Meta Pixel installation. Pirated plugin removed ($85 — approved). Staged via hosted WP. Week 1 $3,500 In Progress
1B Phase Zero Blueprint Site feature architecture, design comps, brand system, conversion page specs May 1 Read-only
2 Q2 Member Marketing 11-email Club calendar (Spring Pruning + nurture), res. & commercial segmentation, collaborative copy review. Jobber appointment booking link included in all spring nurture emails (per April 2 client request). Jun 30 $3,500 No
3 Meta Paid Social Facebook/Instagram campaign build + execution, creative, res. & commercial audiences, landing pages in Kit Jun 30 $7,500 No
4 Lead Warming + Club Welcome 3-email lead warming sequence (Jobber → Zapier → Kit), Club welcome sequence (Kit) Apr 27 $2,500 No
WordPress approach (updated April 2): Security hardening will be executed via a staged hosted WordPress environment — changes built and tested there, then deployed to the live server. This reduces risk to the production site and creates a natural path toward a fully hosted WP environment in the future. GA4 and Meta Pixel installation follow once the security sprint is complete. All other workstreams continue independently.

What Gets Built Now — No Access Required

Automation Architecture

Three automated flows that run without manual intervention once built. All built on Kit + Zapier.

Flow 1 — Lead Warming (WS3 + WS4)

Estimate Request Submitted
Jobber form on site
Zapier
Jobber "Estimate Created"
Kit Tag Added
"Warming Active"
3-Email Sequence
D0 / D2 / D5
Stops on Job Approved
Zapier removes tag

Flow 2 — Club Welcome (WS4)

New Club Member
Sign-up form / Home Show import
Kit Subscriber Created
Tag: "Club Member"
Segment Check
Residential vs. Commercial
4-Email Welcome Sequence
D0 / D3 / D7 / D14

Flow 3 — Meta Lead → Kit Nurture (WS3)

Meta Lead Form Submitted
or Kit landing page form
Zapier or Kit native
Lead data captured
Kit Subscriber + Tag
"Meta Lead — Residential" or "Commercial"
Lead Warming Sequence
Same 3-email flow
Pixel dependency note: Meta Lead Forms can be used without the pixel on the site — they run entirely within Facebook/Instagram. This means WS3 and WS4 can go fully live before WordPress access is granted. The pixel unlocks website conversion tracking and retargeting audiences — it improves campaign performance but isn't a blocker for launch.

Automation Strategy — How This Builds Itself

The goal is maximum automation with high quality output. Here's how the build is structured to minimize manual labor without cutting corners.

Build Once, Run Forever

Every email sequence, automation flow, and campaign structure is built once and documented in the Exhibit A spec. After June 30, all sequences continue running under the existing retainer with no rebuild required. The only ongoing labor is monitoring, optimization, and content refresh — not infrastructure.

Copy-First Approach

All email copy, ad copy, and landing page copy is drafted and approved by Sperry before a single login is touched. This means platform setup is a mechanical load operation — no back-and-forth after access is granted. Copy review with Michele happens in Week 3 over email; no live session required.

Parallel Workstreams

WS2 (email calendar), WS3 (Meta), and WS4 (sequences) build in parallel. WS1A (WordPress) is the only sequential dependency — it's scoped but doesn't block anything else. Phase Zero design blueprint is built independently of platform access.

Deferred Dependencies Don't Block Launch

Meta Lead Forms work without the pixel on the site. Kit landing pages work without the pixel. All four sequences run without WordPress access. The pixel and GA4 add conversion tracking fidelity — they're important but not required to launch campaigns and start collecting leads.
