Patrick Scott Pitman
Join us April 29–30 in sunny Austin, TX for a hands-on, small group workshop. Together we’ll optimize your optin subscriber funnels, quizzes, and pre-purchase / welcome flow automations.

Why Participate?
Who’s leading & participating?
Who's participating in the workshop?
Meet two of the registered participants:
How much does the workshop cost?
$197 USD.
Why the application process?
We’ll learn from everyone in the room. So everyone in the room matters. It’s not just who is at the front teaching.
When you answer a handful of questions on the application form, we’ll be able to anticipate whether we can really help you.
Since it’ll be a small group under 15, we’ll choose applicants who are not directly competitive in an industry, and have enough in common to collaborate well together.
What are the dates and time commitment?
The event runs from 9 am Apr 29 through 2 pm Apr 30.
If you’re traveling to Austin by plane, arrive the evening of Apr 28 and plan your departure after 5 pm Apr 30.
Plan to commit 2 hours prior to the event so as to participate in the webinars Apr 16 and Apr 23 that will preview the workshop training.
What tools or platforms do I need for the workshop?
We’ll be teaching with the Klaviyo, Digioh, and Gatsby platforms for the purpose of examples. You can gain benefit from the workshop if you use other platforms, but our hands-on help may be limited.
If you don’t already have a Digioh or Gatsby account, contact them for a 50% off trial offer for 3 months as a workshop participant.
What to expect
This isn’t a sit-back-and-listen event. It’s two days of rolling up your sleeves and getting subscriber funnels optimized.
What’s waiting for you:
🌮 Cold brew, guacamole, and sunshine.
🩴 Casual dress, comfy vibes.
💻 Laptop open, pros looking over your shoulder.
🧠 Expert guidance + peers who’ve solved similar problems.
Leave with optimized opt-ins, a fresh welcome flow, and the sense that you’re now ahead of schedule.



Spring into DTC Subscriber Growth
Let’s face it—your “fix the welcome flow” task has been on your list for a while.
You’ve wanted to launch new popups. Rewrite those first-touch emails. Maybe even figure out how to dynamically personalize it without crying when you open Klaviyo.
But between Slack pings, shifting sales goals, and design revision requests, there’s little time. You want check the box completions — not another PDF idea guide.
Plant Quizzes, Popups & Flows
Tired of vague advice and “You should test X” webinars?
This workshop gives you:
✅ High-converting quizzes & popups ready for QA then launch.
✅ A solution for inviting Instagram followers onto your email and SMS list.
✅ A Welcome Flow in Klaviyo where the trigger logic and content are optimized to sell.

Lianna Patch, Gabrielle Pitman, and brand marketer Jason in Austin.
No more staring at blank screens. No more “I’ll fix that later.”
You’ll be supported by experts in funnel design, copywriting, email automations, and story-telling. Bring your laptop!
