00:00:08 Vanessa Roberts
Hey everybody, let me know if you can hear me Vanessa here, this beautiful chilly morning. Hey Michael. All right, so and you can see my screen. We’ve got AQ and a session set up for today and ask me anything if you will. While we can’t go into your actual small batch account like I can’t help you reset a password or something publicly, actually hold on one second for me. About now, can you hear me now? I disconnected and reconnected my microphone. Did that solve the problem?

00:08:21 Vanessa Roberts
Awesome. OK. Hi Scott. I was just talking about our mastermind that we had last week. I don’t know if you heard Scott was in house with us. OK, so Michael, now that y’all can hear me, let me jump backwards because I don’t know where you lost me, but your ertc sign up, I can help you get signed up. But if you’re looking to further set up your account, that is going to have to go through the ertc training and support team. But I can help you get signed up and tell you how to find the support.

00:08:53 Vanessa Roberts
All right, so once you’re logged into small batch, under revenue generators, either click product feature Ertc or you can click the top level page link and you can see all of the revenue generators that we’ve shared and find the employee retention tax credit link right here. Both of these two links take you to the ertc page. To sign up, click right here. Sign up as and then to fill out your first name, your last name, your preferred e-mail. We love it when you use the same e-mail for small batch and ertc etcetera, etcetera, so that we don’t have multiple contacts for you, but that’s up to you. Select your country, your phone number. Now, this is what throws some folks off. Choose your unique ERTC express field ID.

00:09:42 Vanessa Roberts
This can be literally anything, Michael. You could put Michael Miller, right? Whatever you put here is what is going to be used to create your referral link, the link you will share with customers so that they can apply for the ertc. So I will make an example. OK, let me see right, so my unique identifier, I could do Vanessa ERTC 2025 right? I click register and my account is instantly made. OK, that Vanessa ERTC 2025 is seen right here in my URL. So my personal lead capture site is this, and the identifier that I selected on the previous page becomes the end of that URL.

00:10:55 Vanessa Roberts
Does that make sense? That’s why it has to be unique. It is your unique identifier, and you can see that it’s immediately live. I’m going to click on it and go to that page and it’s a fully developed tracking URL. Anyone who fills out the form on this page right here tracks back to you. Now when you complete that opt in form, you’re going to get a welcome e-mail to both the portal, which is where you track your deals, as well as the ERTC Express field agent training membership site. So look for both of those, and if you don’t see them, you’re going to want to visit this URL for support. ERC dot team slash support.

00:11:43 Vanessa Roberts
OK, I’m going to grab that. This is what it looks like. It gives you instructions on how to set up. OK, so Michael, that’s already live for you. All right, so here’s the link to support this URL right here. This page gives you some instructions on how to access, set up your support account, etcetera, etcetera. So go here and read over that and then you can access the ERTC Express support system. OK, any questions there?

00:12:16 Vanessa Roberts
All right, Michael. Yes, more questions. OK, Yep, I see you typing. So how do I set up the direct e-mail campaign? OK, so that is a small batch service. Once your link is live, what you’re going to want to do is go through the complete done for you system walkthrough. OK, because with the done for you, you need to make sure that your e-mail is set up and ready to send mail. OK, so I see that you’ve purchased your domain through GoDaddy and set up e-mail through GoDaddy, right?

00:13:17 Vanessa Roberts
So the next step is you need to do an account warm up. And this is where our team accesses your new e-mail account and sends mail to and from your account so that we can train the e-mail service providers. That mail you send is not spam, right? So we send out of your account to accounts that we control. We receive the e-mail from you, we open it, we read it, we click it, we reply to it, and we mark it as safe, right? So this gives you a foundation of having an e-mail account that isn’t reported as spam, that gets a lot of opens and clicks, etcetera. So it tells Google and the other providers that e-mail sent from this address is valuable and desired, helps you land in the inbox, right? So that takes about 7 days.

00:14:14 Vanessa Roberts
So after you request the account warm up, while that’s happening, you need to start requesting your unlimited lead generation. OK, this is important. This is where you get your lists. You can request a list every single day and we do not limit the results that we give you. So the lists are generated based on the criteria you provide. And again, that training call that is visible right here, it goes into way more detail. This is just a broad overview, but when you request a list, think of it as a keyword and a location. So you could request HVAC businesses in Atlanta, GA.

00:14:56 Vanessa Roberts
So we will pull every single HVAC business in Atlanta, GA and send it to you for you to contact. So you can request a list like that every single day. OK, so you can start on that. Start building a database, your own personal database, library of contacts, the same day you start your account warmup. Don’t delay. OK, so you’re done for you campaign setup is what you’re talking about, the direct mail campaign? Direct mail is a term reserved for mailing physical items to businesses. This is a done for you e-mail campaign.

00:15:35 Vanessa Roberts
So there’s a training on how to set up just this portion of the done for you. Basically, after you have set up your platform and all that means is you choose between these 5 providers and you link your e-mail that you set up with GoDaddy to one of these providers so that you have an account for mass e-mail, OK? Once you’ve selected it and your account is set up, you simply come in here, give your information, right? Confirm that your account has gone through the warm up, your campaign platform login details. Tell us how you log into your platform, OK, Because we log in as you to provide the service for you. OK, provide your contact list, your e-mail message, OK, Answer these questions. So we have ERTC service marketing. This was the first ERTC campaign ERTC 2024 is the more recent.

00:16:45 Vanessa Roberts
This is the one we recommend you use. So simply select this, fill out your customizable fields, and then submit your request. OK, to review the Done for You campaign so that you know what you’re saying, under resources ERTC 2024 campaign, you can review the campaign emails. So this is the exact content that we use. Alternatively, you can use the Done for You campaign set up with an e-mail campaign that you write yourself. So if you want to take the ertc campaign that we have created for you and built into the Done for You system and personalize it, customize it, change it, update it, whatever you want, you absolutely can do that. You simply save that campaign as a Word document or a Google document, make your changes, get it to be exactly how you want it to be. And then here, instead of selecting one of the provided campaigns, you would say, I have my own e-mail campaign.

00:17:58 Vanessa Roberts
And you would choose the file to give us the words to say for you. OK, So if you’ve written A10 e-mail sequence, you’ve written it, created it one time. Maybe you ChatGPT, maybe you purchased an e-mail campaign, maybe you wrote it yourself by hand, from scratch. It doesn’t matter where you got it. One example of a great use case is if you are participating with a revenue generator partner, where you’re selling a product that someone else has offered and giving you e-mail swipe for. Here is how you can use our Done for You services to mail someone else’s e-mail content. e-mail campaigns, e-mail swipe. Does that make sense?

00:18:43 Vanessa Roberts
So regardless of what campaign you want to use ERTC Body Miracle Set C, Local Growth Machine, General Digital Marketing, or some specific affiliate that you are working with who gave you e-mail copy, all of that can be used to set up a done for you e-mail campaign using this very simple form. OK, Michael, did I answer your question? Are there any more questions? Oh, fantastic, Michael, I’m so glad. All right, so again, this call right here is to break down any barriers that are holding you back technically or understanding the implementation, the best practices of small batch. So if you’ve been trying to get started but found yourself, you know, struggling or you had questions or just wanted some clarity, even if you have started and you have clarification questions, that’s what I’m here for today at your disposal. All right, I’m looking for the simplest way to get started. That’s me.

00:19:56 Vanessa Roberts
All right, well, I got to tell you, this is it. The Ertc program has, I believe, about 150 some odd days left before. Applications to the IRS are cut off. That’s April 15th, 2025. Now is, you know, they like people say a year from now, you’ll wish you started today. The best time to have started definitely 18 months ago, right? The second best time of this whole span is absolutely right now, because now the moratorium on processing ertc has been lifted. We have proven ourselves ertc Express has proven themselves to be a Titan in the industry, right?

00:20:45 Vanessa Roberts
We stood the test of the IR s s waging war at and attacking all the ertc service providers, right? The fear mongering and thud of reporting all over the news, all over the Internet that ertc was rife with fraud and businesses would be basically automatically audited and that it was just the most terrible thing, risky thing you could do. That’s all been proven to be a lot of noise that, in my opinion, was designed to scare businesses off from taking advantage of this absolutely legal, absolutely compliant program because it got bigger than they meant for it to and it was getting more expensive than they meant for it to, and it was more work than they wanted to process. At the IRS. We’ve gotten through all of that and we are seeing literally, this is not an exaggeration, hundreds of notices being delivered to just our customers. I’m not talking about the program wide, just ERTC customers are getting hundreds of notifications every single day that their quarterly refunds are being processed. Scott Hall was with us in person in Peachtree City last week and he heard Brian say the numbers are pretty, pretty impressive, pretty astounding. And you know, we were literally jumping on the ERTC team members to make sure that they are calling every single person who has received a notice about their refund coming due.

00:22:36 Vanessa Roberts
We are getting on the phone with them and having a person, personal voice to voice phone conversation, congratulating them, letting them know their checks are coming. Because when those checks come and the fees are paid, that’s when our agents get paid, right? So that’s why everybody at the Mastermind last week was very interested in making sure that got done. Yep. Scott Hall says collections. Yeah, it’s the most exciting part of this, this venture. Of course, you know, we put the work in over the past two years. We planted the seeds and we watered them, and we nurtured that garden when so many others were abandoning the plot and letting it, letting it all rot.

00:23:22 Vanessa Roberts
We tended the garden, nurtured it, and we’re watching it grow. And now we are definitely reaping that crop, reaping those rewards. So Michael, I would say the simplest way is, Yep, do exactly what I just said with make sure your ertc account is set up, go through the ertc training, and then simply use the Done for you campaigns every single day. Once you get it rolling with one e-mail address, the next step is to just add another e-mail address and double your efforts. Michael asks. I’m not sure I understand the program to have those discussions. Is there a specific team of Small batch folks that make those calls? OK, Michael, the ertc program is different from Small Batch.

00:24:12 Vanessa Roberts
OK, so small Batch is just sending emails basically. I mean, it’s very hyper simplified, but as it pertains to generating ERTC deals, small bash is a tool you will use to send emails about the ERTC. OK ERTC Express is its own company with its own support team. It’s a full time brick and mortar staff that makes those phone calls to process the deals. OK. So if you are going to be promoting the ertc revenue generator, which simply means that’s a program Small Batch endorses as a program that can benefit from the services provided by Small Batch. OK, right. Does that make sense?

00:25:01 Vanessa Roberts
We are not ertc. Express Small Batch is a tool for mass cold e-mail outreach ERTC is a service that you can market and sell with small batch. OK, So for learning about ERTC, absolutely make sure you’re attending the ERTC trainings, that you’ve gone through the ERTC course. You will have much better results with your clients if you are able to intelligently discuss ERTC with them and you understand that program. But that is all provided through the ERTC field agent training. Awesome. Yeah, OK, you understand that part? Great, great, great, great.

00:25:47 Vanessa Roberts
So when you signed up, you got ertc field agent training access. And yes, we have a team of account executives. I like to compare them to mortgage loan processors. Right. If you’ve ever gotten a mortgage, you know, somebody sold you on a mortgage and then they handed you off to somebody who, as a former processor, I can say this, actually knows what they’re doing to make sure that the file gets all of the questions answered correctly and the documentation, all the supporting documentation, all the required contracts are signed. So we’ve got our sales force agents. You’re just sending out those emails, right? But then once the person applies, they get handed over to the account executive or the processor who does make those phone calls, who holds the customer’s hand, who answers all their questions, explains all of the documentation, make sure all the contracts are signed, and then it goes over to the Cpas who actually produce the refund, and then it gets filed.

00:26:50 Vanessa Roberts
So to answer your question, yes, there is a specific team that makes those calls, but it is the ertc Express team, not small batch. Phone calls are not a service offered through the small batch system. Cool. All right. But yeah, but the two together, it works pretty well. We’re, you know, we’re hand in hand. I have a foot in both worlds. So all right, any other questions?

00:27:25 Vanessa Roberts
Anything else I can help with? John, Michael, Steven, I can go through anything. And at the same token, if there aren’t any questions, I mean that’s fantastic. You know, you can always come to us in support or comments in the Facebook group, but I won’t steal your time and just chit chat with you. I know everybody’s busy. We’ve got the holiday. Our offices will be closed starting Wednesday afternoon through the rest of the week, but we have a skeleton crew, so if you want to request lists each day or set up an e-mail campaign, maybe you’ve got a Black Friday campaign you’re ready to run, we will be able to take care of that for you. The actual day of Thursday we will not be setting up.

00:28:27 Vanessa Roberts
We will not have support on Thursday on actual US Thanksgiving, but every other day and weekends we do. All right, I see everybody is giving me a virtual wave and telling me goodbye. So I will say thank you so much for joining me today. Michael, thank you for excellent questions. I’m glad we were able to go over that and get you started. Follow up question there, Michael, do I need to set up a separate e-mail address? We recommend that you do not use your primary business e-mail address for your cold outreach. So if your business domain is the only one you have, then yes, we do recommend you get a different domain and set up e-mail on that domain.

00:29:17 Vanessa Roberts
So if for any reason your domain is compromised and an account is shut down, it doesn’t affect your primary business, your core, actual everyday use e-mail for each campaign. You do not need a separate e-mail address for each campaign. One e-mail address can send out approximately 50 emails a day in compliance with the small batch method that keeps you under Google’s radar, keeps your account from getting shut down. If you want to send more than 50 emails a day or more than one campaign every day at the same time, then yes, you would need multiple e-mail addresses. You are able to have up to three e-mail addresses on a single domain. So if you wanted to send three campaigns a day at the same time, three in a single day, which would give you about 150 outbound emails per day, you can have one domain. Say it’s Michael miller.com. You could have Mike at michaelmiller.com, Michael at michaelmiller.com and miller@michaelmiller.com.

00:30:42 Vanessa Roberts
3 emails, one domain. Each one can have a campaign. Each one can send 50 emails per day, right? And the following day, the second e-mail of the campaign can run in another 150 emails, right? If you want a 4th, 5th, and 6th e-mail, you will need a second domain, and then that second domain can have 3 emails each. OK, so that’s how you scale up. I do recommend that you get the hang of doing 1 e-mail, one campaign per day until you feel very comfortable with the system. OK, you’re monitoring your reply emails.

00:31:26 Vanessa Roberts
You’re making sure that you’re getting clicks and opens. You’re making adjustments. You know, have a week of practice before you spend more money, right? I’m not out here saying spend $1000 your first week, get upside down and then struggle. I want you to know what you’re doing and feel comfortable before you grow. So walk before you run, but once you run, you can absolutely Sprint. Yes. Fantastic.

00:31:54 Vanessa Roberts
Michael. Yeah, you are on the right path. But yeah, if you’ve got one domain that is not your primary business you but you want you want emails that are exclusively used for cold e-mail outreach. Yes. All right, Michael, I think it, I think it’s just you and me left. So if you’ve got any questions, I will help you with whatever you need. OK, so you’re saying the e-mail is forwarded to my main e-mail so if anyone replies they get forwarded? That’s a great plan, Michael.

00:32:36 Vanessa Roberts
So you don’t have to keep monitoring and checking and checking for replies. That’s a great idea. Absolutely, yes. Any questions about how to use the Done for You services? Again, the full training is on the home page. So when you log in or you can just click the logo here in the top left, it’s complete done for you. System walkthrough right there. All right, all right, go through that training.

00:33:16 Vanessa Roberts
Perfect. Go through that training. If you have any follow up questions, hit me up in support or tag me in the Facebook group and I’ll make sure either I or myself or a experienced technician can help you with any questions you’ve got. All right, everybody, thank you so much for spending your afternoon with me. I hope you have a safe and wonderful holiday and get to spend time with your friends and love ones and just, you know, take a day or two to relax. You know, we all need to reinvigorate, rejuvenate, recharge, and we’ll come back, close out 2024 strong and start 2025 on the right foot. All right, thank you so much everybody and I will see you soon. Bye.
