September 2016 Amazing System Training

This month was a whopper of a call! We shared with the AS community the new “Post Event Survey System”, free to all AS members! We began with a quick demo and recap of what happens from a high level overview. Then, we took everyone step by step on how to set this up during our advanced workshop. All of the templates are provided! This type of hands on advanced workshop is normally reserved for our Inner Circle Group Coaching calls but this month, it’s free for all active Amazing System members. Now you’ll be able to receive honest feedback and testimonials from your clients all on auto-pilot. Enjoy!

Step by step guide (advanced)

  1. Download Divi layouts (optional)*
  2. Create two pages in your WordPress, one called “Event Survey” and the other “Survey Thanks”. Import Divi layout into each respective page (optional)*
  3. Inherit 3 autoresponders (425617) – Inside 1Shop, click on “email & marketing” then “autoresponders” then “inherit”
  4. Create custom fields (survey questions) matching my fields in this form. Inside 1Shop, go to “Contacts” then “custom fields” then “create new”. Check out this full list here.
  5. Create two web forms. Inside 1Shop, go to “email & marketing” then “web forms”.  One form will be called “Full Survey” (click here for full survey details). The other form will be called “Smart Link – Post show survey” (Click here for details)
  6. Create Smart Link from the form you just created “Smart Link – Post Show Survey”
  7. Set Unsubscribes (view details)
  8. Update links in autoresponder messages. “Post Event Survey – Started” needs the “email merge link” from your “event survey” page. The “Post Event Survey – Request Feedback” autoresponder message needs your smart link added that you created in step #6. You add this as a hyperlink to each colored box but make sure the end of the link says &surveyrating=x. Replace the “x” with the corresponding number of the colored box your updating. When you have that done, duplicate this message and set the delay for 2 days and change the wording to mention “two days ago we invited you…”
  9. Update alternate destination in “Post Event Survey – Completed” with your email address
  10. Update all “from email” addresses with your email address for these 3 autoresponders
  11. Paste in raw form code (from full survey form in 1shop web forms) into the “full survey” page and do minor modifications. Remove the email, firstname and lastname fields (in the code) and replace with the hidden fields listed below. See 1:58:00 of the video above.

[sourcecode language=”plain”]
<div class="mc-field-item">
<input type="hidden" name="email1" value="[as what="Email1"]" />
</div>
<div class="mc-field-item">
<input type="hidden" name="mc-firstname" value="[as what="firstname"]" />
</div>

<div class="mc-field-item">
<input type="hidden" name="mc-lastname" value="[as what="lastname"]" />
</div>
[/sourcecode]

*If you’re not using Divi, you’ll have to add the proper merge codes and text to your pages. On the “Event Survey” page, make sure to thank them for the rating and encourage them to fill out the full survey form. To do this, you’ll want to use these merge codes on your “Event Survey” page:

[sourcecode language=”plain”]
[as what="firstname"]

[as what="surveyrating"]

[show_as_form][/sourcecode]

On the “Survey Thanks” page, make sure to Thank them for their feedback. Personalize that with the firstname merge code:

[sourcecode language=”plain”][as what="firstname"][/sourcecode]

  1. you had us duplicated “We need your help” via “send to” for a day 1 or 2 day follow up.
    Do we have to unsubscribe it if they fill out the 1st day? As we wouldn’t want “We still would appreciate your help” If they already did it.

  2. I did realize I made a small mistake during the call. When making the form, “Smart Link – Post Show Survey” it should subscribe “Post Event Survey – Started” as the autoresponder. You do this in the web form configuration in 1shop under “Email & Marketing” then “web forms”. I mistakenly explained on the call that that form doesn’t subscribe an autoresponder and that was incorrect. It does actually subscribe this autoresponder: “Post Event Survey – Started”.

  3. I haven’t been using the “Post Event Survey System”. So I thought I would revisit all the work I had done along with this training. Only to find out my “Post Event Survey System” was broken. After some digging, I think was just that I needed to update the Form Thank You URL’s from http to https . (like: https://amazing-magician.com/…… )
    Thanks again for all you do David!!!
