The Opportunity

Strategy Overview

The Problem We're Solving

AMG responds quickly to form submissions—but after that initial contact, there's no system to stay top-of-mind. Prospects who aren't ready to buy yet drift away. There's no ongoing content establishing AMG as the industry expert they should trust when they ARE ready.

"B2B manufacturing sales cycles are long. The prospect who requests a quote today may not be ready to buy for 3-6 months. Consistent thought leadership and nurturing keeps AMG in front of them throughout that journey."

Nutshell CRM Integration

All automation built inside your existing CRM

How It Works: Nutshell Integration

1

Lead Capture

Website forms feed directly into Nutshell. New contacts are automatically tagged based on which form they filled out (quote request, whitepaper download, newsletter signup).

2

Sequence Triggers

Nutshell's email sequences trigger automatically based on tags. Download the whitepaper? Welcome sequence starts. No activity in 90 days? Re-engagement sequence kicks in.

3

Sales Visibility

Your team sees every email opened, link clicked, and engagement signal right in Nutshell. When a cold lead suddenly opens 3 emails in a week, you'll know they're warming up.

Zero new tools. Everything lives in Nutshell—the CRM you already use. No learning curve, no extra logins, no scattered data.

Lead Magnet

The Domestic Sourcing Whitepaper

A 12-page whitepaper titled "Domestic vs. Offshore Sourcing: A Total Cost of Ownership Analysis for Automotive Metal Components."

  • 82% of manufacturers have moved or are moving production back to US
  • Total cost of ownership framework comparing 10+ cost factors
  • Supply chain disruption data: $110B losses from semiconductor shortage

Why It's Monthly, Not One-And-Done

The Setup Was the Easy Part

Fair question: if Month 1 already built the system, what are you paying for after that? This. Email marketing isn't "set it and forget it"—left alone, content goes stale, deliverability slips, and results flatline. Every month, I'm the person actively running and improving the machine:

26 issues / year

A New Newsletter, Every Two Weeks

Researched, written, and sent—ghostwritten as Melissa. Fresh thought leadership that keeps AMG in front of buyers between quotes. This alone is why it's a subscription, not a one-time build.

Every send

Written to Maximize Your RFQs

Every email is written persuasively—using proven direct-response methods—with one goal: turning readers into RFQs. We don't just chase opens and clicks; every send is engineered to put more requests for quote in front of your sales team.

Built-in reach

LinkedIn Posts From Every Issue

Each newsletter is repurposed into LinkedIn content that builds Melissa's authority and pulls new subscribers into the funnel—no extra lift on your end.

On demand

New Sequences As You Grow

Trade-show follow-ups, product-line nurtures, win-back campaigns—I design and launch new automations as opportunities come up, not just the three we started with.

Every cycle

Continuous Testing & Optimization

I A/B test subject lines, CTAs, and send times on every send. Results compound because someone's actively tuning them—Month 1's numbers are the floor, not the ceiling.

Monthly

Reporting, Deliverability & Hot-Lead Alerts

Plain-English reporting on what's working, list hygiene so you stay out of spam, and a flag straight to your sales team in Nutshell the moment a cold lead heats up.

Month 1 built the engine—on the house. Everything after is an operator actively driving it and pushing the numbers up. That's the difference between renting a tool and hiring a partner who owns the result.
