Automation Nightmares, Ghosting Attendees, & Other Event Sins đź‘€
Sep 29, 2025 12:56 pm
Hey ,
Planning events without systems is basically like juggling flaming swords… blindfolded. 🔥🎪 (And yes, most of us are guilty.)
In our latest Virtual Summiteers session, we got brutally honest about what’s working—and what’s definitely not. Here’s the highlight reel:
- Ericka’s confession: Waiting until the last minute to ask speakers. (It’s giving “hope is a strategy.”)
- Joe’s workflow flex: NASA-level podcast system… that he sometimes forgets to use.
- Thomas’ move: Repurposes one video into 20 clips across 3 weeks. Efficient and enviable.
- Zakia’s superpower: 40 Cast Magic prompts churning out blogs, lead magnets, and courses while the rest of us still wrestle with Zapier.
And then came the pain points we all admitted:
👉 Follow-up sequences that are basically ghosting.
👉 Testimonials nobody’s asking for (goldmine = ignored).
👉 Automation that feels like rewiring a spaceship.
👉 Speaker outreach chaos that could’ve been solved with a template.
Here’s the kicker:
systems, automation, and delegation aren’t “nice-to-haves.” They’re survival strategies.
💡 Imagine if your post-event workflow actually followed up, nurtured, and converted—without you pulling all-nighters.
👉 Curious how to fix your systems, stop ghosting attendees and finally get your workflows under control?

See you Friday at 10am ET,

P.S. Next month we’re going big-picture: strategic vision + roadmaps for 2026 (while keeping 2025 momentum alive). Don’t miss it.
