A direct line to your top customers

Your top 5-10% of customers fund the business; give them a private channel: a VIP SMS list, WhatsApp group, or small community space, and treat it as a relationship, never a blast list.

A small slice of customers drives an outsized share of revenue, and they deserve a channel that isn't the newsletter: a VIP text list, WhatsApp group, or private space where they get early access, real asks for input, and direct answers. The rule that makes it work: relationship content only, never generic promos. AI helps you pick the channel and the cadence; the sincerity has to be yours.

The top 5-10% of your customers usually pay for everything else, and they're the ones a private channel is for: a VIP SMS list, a WhatsApp group, or a small community space where they hear things first and get heard first.

AI can help you pick the channel and plan the cadence. What it can't fake is the sincerity, which is the whole point.
