info_outlineWelcome back to the Sales Email Summit, hosted by Liz Wilcox! In this hilarious and totally relatable episode, our guest Aprille Reed keeps it real about juggling entrepreneurship, four kiddos, and trying not to be “that” person who only emails when there’s something to sell. If you’ve ever hit pause on your email list or worried about reappearing with a big ol’ sales ask, you’re going to want to hear Aprille’s story of a monster 52% (and up to 79%!) open rate, the subject line she swears by, and her refreshingly unfiltered take on guilt-free selling.
Pour your coffee, cozy up (or chase your toddler, no judgment), and get ready for a pep talk that’s equal parts practical and LOL-worthy.
Episode Highlights
A Flash Sale to Remember- Aprille dishes the details behind her “Winning With Mini Webinars” flash sale—the one that scored a mind-blowing 52% open rate from her entire list… after weeks of total silence. Talk about inbox magic.
Booty Call Emailer? Let’s Get Real- Ever feel awkward emailing your list only when you want a cash injection? Aprille admits she didn’t want to be that “booty call emailer”—but spoiler, she did it anyway, with zero warmup, and shares why it all worked out (plus her must-have unsubscribe link tactic).
Subject Lines That Sell- The secret sauce? Aprille breaks down exactly how her subject line (“How to sell more with a 15 minute presentation (+ $347 off Winning With Mini Webinars)”) did the heavy lifting to boost those dreamy open rates. It’s clickbait, but in the best way.

Key Takeaway
You do NOT need to email your list every week to sell. Sometimes, just showing up with a genuinely valuable offer is enough. Don’t stress about being perfect or “warming up” your list to death. Show up as yourself, send the email (even if it’s been a while), and let your people self-select. Oh, and don’t underestimate a killer subject line! 🚀
Snag the templates. Send the emails. Get the sales. And don’t overthink it, Aprille definitely didn’t!
