Why work with me?

From SaaS and Ecom Founder to elite email deliverability expert

I built Sales Ignition as a focused consultancy because I got tired of watching brands leave revenue on the table — not from a lack of email strategy, but because their emails weren't landing in the inbox.

After working with brands from Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, Ford to fast-growth DTC startups, I developed a proven system: fix deliverability first, then build flows that convert.

  • Klaviyo-certified with deep Shopify Plus expertise
  • Served brands from $1M to enterprise scale
  • Built emaildelivery.co & inboxsmarts.com — my own tools
  • Email strategy that bridges deliverability AND revenue

Case study

See how a single deliverability fix unlocked $240k/year for a DTC brand

When emails don't land in the inbox, every dollar spent on acquisition is wasted. I prove the ROI of every engagement with clear before-and-after metrics.

No fluff, no vanity metrics — just real revenue impact, because that's all that matters.

Here's what brand owners and marketers say about me

@client_handle · Jan 12, 2024

"…Open rates jumped from 18% to 41% overnight."

We'd been struggling with deliverability for over a year. Every agency gave us the same generic advice that didn't move the needle. Steven diagnosed the exact issue in 48 hours and had us fully restored in two weeks. Our open rates jumped from 18% to 41% overnight, and the revenue impact was immediate and measurable.

"…Our abandoned cart flow now generates 22% of total revenue."

I knew our Klaviyo setup was underperforming but had no idea how bad it was. Steven rebuilt our entire abandoned cart and post-purchase flows from scratch, restructured segmentation, and fixed our sending domain at the same time. That single flow now generates 22% of our total monthly revenue — the best ROI investment we've made.

About me

So, who's Steven?

I stand out from other email marketers because I understand deliverability at a technical level AND strategy at a revenue level.

That's why I know the difference between fixing symptoms and fixing causes. While most email agencies obsess over copy and design, I obsess over whether your emails are actually landing in the inbox first.

I run Sales Ignition as a focused, single-person consultancy out of South Carolina — which means you always work directly with me, never a junior account manager.

I also built emaildelivery.co and inboxsmarts.com — tools that thousands of brands use to diagnose and fix deliverability issues.

So, listen! If you

  • Are tired of email agencies that only care about design
  • Want real deliverability fixes, not band-aid solutions
  • Are looking for someone who understands both tech and revenue
