A newsletter is a consultant's best sales tool
Clients hire consultants they trust. A short, useful email every few weeks keeps you in mind until they are ready, and it costs nothing but an hour.
startbuddi makes that hour shorter. Chip drafts the email from your notes in your brand voice, the review step catches mistakes, and the report shows who clicked, so you know who to call. New leads can get a welcome sequence automatically.
- Newsletters written with Chip, in your voice.
- A welcome sequence for new leads.
- Replies land in your inbox, next to the contact.

Questions people ask
How often should a consultant send a newsletter?
Often enough to stay in mind and rarely enough to stay useful. Every two to four weeks is a sensible rhythm to start with.
Can new leads get a welcome sequence?
Yes. An automation can send a series of emails when someone fills your form. Automations unlock on Starter.
Can Chip write in my style?
Yes. Write your voice in the brand kit and Chip follows it in email drafts.
What does it cost?
Email marketing unlocks on Starter ($29 a month) with a 30-day trial.
