Winback email sequence for web2app quiz completers

How Headway (and Asana Rebel) email users who completed the quiz and left an email but didn't pay — ~8 discount-escalating emails, tight cadence, emoji subjects, one button back to the paywall — and what share of sales to expect.

Winback email sequence for web2app quiz completers

TL;DR

  • Target: users who left their email in the quiz but didn’t buy1.
  • ~8 emails (Headway), all about the discount — no content/nurture12.
  • Cadence: a few hours, then ~1 day, ~2 days…; never more than 2–3 days between emails — push while they’re warm from the quiz13.
  • Each email: emoji in the subject (raises open rate), one button that returns to the paywall1.
  • Escalate discounts: ~70% → +10% → up to 90–95%. Late in the sequence, any payment beats none3.
  • Expect email to drive ~10% or less of funnel sales on average; 20% is an exceptional ceiling32.

Details

Headway’s sequence. Email 1: “Confirm your registration” with emoji and a single Confirm button that lands on the paywall. Later subjects like “Your self-growth plan is ready — now up to 70% off”, then “additional 10% off”. Some emails switch from designed templates to a plain, personal-looking format. Discounts climb to ~90%13.

Why go so deep. The probability of payment falls the longer it’s been since the quiz, so Igor argues for going “all in” on 90–95% off late in the sequence3. Steve frames it as e-commerce tripwire logic: get a small first payment, then the customer is easier to monetise4.

Asana Rebel (Steve’s sign-up). Confirmation email Apr 30; May 1: two emails with 50% off; May 2: “50% off, only a few hours left”; May 3: a doubled offer, then six months off — i.e. multiple emails per day at peaks2.

Disagreements / caveats

  • Igor didn’t have Headway’s exact timings; the cadence is his typical recommendation1.
  • Deep discounts to non-buyers can train users to wait; consider limiting them to the email channel and to one redemption.
  • Make sure email consent and unsubscribe comply with local law (GDPR/CAN-SPAM).
