Just a short one from me today — I picked up a bit of a bug over the weekend, and I’m taking a couple of days to rest and recharge. But I didn’t want to skip this week entirely because we’ve got some important system updates to share, and I also want to remind you…

Is your email list damaging your deliverability without you even knowing it?

If your open rates have dropped or more emails are hitting spam lately, it’s not just you — and it’s not random either.

This Wednesday, I’m running a live training exclusively for Gold Star Pro users:

How to Clean Your List Before It Kills Your Email Results
📅 Wednesday, 28th May
🕚 11:30 a.m. New York / 4:30 p.m. London

We’ll cover:

• How to identify cold contacts in your system
  

• How to build an automated re-engagement flow
  

• How to sort and tag your contacts using workflows
  

• And how to mark people as DND so you’re not emailing the wrong crowd
  

This is a hands-on session — I’ll show you exactly how to do this inside Gold Star Pro so you can walk away ready to take action.

Join us live and get it done with me:

Tired of Paying Zoom Fees Every Month?

If Zoom is eating into your profits with yet another monthly subscription, this might be the smartest move you make all year.

There’s a lifetime deal going right now for a Zoom alternative called GoBrunch — and I’ve personally jumped on board.

Here’s why:
Not only is it a one-time payment (starting at just $89 😲), but I’ve also been in direct contact with the founder of GoBrunch, and they’re in active talks with our Gold Star Pro dev team about a potential integration.

Right now, it doesn’t connect directly to Gold Star Pro — but if that integration happens (and it’s looking promising), this could be an absolute game-changer.

No more Zoom fees.
Just a lifetime tool that could slot right into your business — if it’s the right fit.

Click the button below and search for “GoBrunch” on AppSumo to check it out while the deal is still live.

Embed a Form on an External Site

Did you know you can take forms you’ve created in Gold Star Pro and insert them onto pages on other websites? I know many of you are still in the process of transferring your previous sites over to Gold Star, but in the meantime, you can begin collecting customer data inside of GSP by using our forms.

Here’s how to do it:

I’d Love to Get Your Feedback

In coming weeks we’re going to be simplifying The Business Academy as much as possible - we’ve realized as we’ve grown the amount of content has also grown and it’s time for a tidy up. But before we do, I’d love to hear from you how we could make it better?

If you’ve got any ideas on how we could simplify, reorganize the content, and make it easier to use, please hit reply on this email and let us know!

Smarter Google Ads Campaigns with Less Effort

Running effective ads just got a whole lot easier inside Gold Star Pro.

You can now create and manage Google Ads campaigns right from the platform, with smart suggestions that help you pick the right keywords, audience, and budget for your business.

This means less time figuring things out on your own, and more time reaching the right customers with campaigns that work.

Control Who Sees What with New Role-Based Tool Visibility

Gold Star Pro now gives you better control over which tools are visible to each team member.

With role-based tool visibility, you can choose what each person sees based on their job, helping to reduce clutter and make sure your team only accesses the tools they actually use.

This helps keep everyone focused and makes onboarding new staff simpler.

A Smoother Way to Buy Domains in GSP

We’ve improved the experience of buying a domain in Gold Star Pro to make it more user-friendly.

Whether you’re starting a new site or rebranding, the updated process now includes easier searching, clear pricing, and a simplified checkout—all designed to help you get the domain you want without the confusion.

Create Better SMS Messages with Built-In AI Help

Crafting the perfect text message is now much easier with the new AI-assisted SMS feature in Gold Star Pro.

This tool helps you come up with message ideas and polish your wording, so you can send professional and effective texts with less effort—perfect for promotions, appointment reminders, or quick updates to your customers.

Let Shoppers Save Favorites with Product Wishlists

Gold Star online stores now include wishlist functionality, giving your customers the ability to save products they’re interested in for later.

This encourages more repeat visits and can lead to more purchases over time—especially useful during sales or gift-buying seasons.

Share Courses with the Right People Using Private Channels

Delivering course content to specific groups is now easier with private channels in Gold Star Pro.

You can organize who sees what, making it perfect for sharing training or paid content with the right audience—whether that’s staff, premium customers, or members of a special program.

Check Out More Updates

These are only some of the updates; click here to see more of the updates not featured in the newsletter.

That’s all from me this week — short and sweet, just like I promised.

I’ll be back to full speed soon, but in the meantime, don’t forget to register for Tuesday’s training and check out that GoBrunch deal if Zoom’s been burning a hole in your budget.

And if you’ve got thoughts on how we can make The Business Academy even better, I’d really love to hear them — just hit reply and let me know.
