How to recover bigger carts (and why most stores miss it)

The S.A.L.E. Method blends smart automation with human follow-up—so you recover more revenue without extra ad spend.

S.A.L.E. method

Who This Is For (and Why I’m Writing)

This newsletter is built for one type of person: entrepreneurs who want to grow online sales. If that’s not you, no hard feelings, unsubscribe and free up inbox space.

But if you’re building an e-commerce brand, running a Shopify or WooCommerce store, or planning to start soon, you’re in the right place.

Quick backstory. I’ve built and scaled e-commerce businesses past $100M in sales. I’m also part of the Driven Mastermind, which has me traveling the world to learn directly from some of the sharpest founders and marketers alive. I’ll share what works (and what doesn’t) so you don’t waste money learning the hard way.

From today, you’ll get two short issues a week:

Tuesday → Revenue Trigger (a proven lever that reliably drives sales).
Friday → Quick Win (a fast, 20-minute change you can try the same day).

Let’s start with something big. In Q1 we tested a cart recovery system that pulled in nearly $800k in 90 days for one store.

This Week’s Revenue Trigger: The S.A.L.E. Method™


Most abandoned checkout flows are too simple: 2–3 emails, maybe an SMS. They treat every cart the same—a $20 order and a $500 order get identical follow-ups. That’s broken.

The S.A.L.E. Method™ fixes this with four layers:

  • S – Smart segmentation: stop treating $20 carts like $500 carts.

  • A – Automated flow: dialed-in emails and SMS for scale.

  • L – Live alerts: instant pings when high-value carts walk away.

  • E – Engage with humans: quick personal outreach that closes the biggest gaps.

Think automation for the many, personal touch for the big spenders.

Example: a skincare brand averages $75 orders. Their standard flow recovers 8–10%. With S.A.L.E., a rep gets flagged when a $300+ cart drops. A quick nudge—“Want me to hold this kit before it sells out?”—pulls that order back. The system compounds over time.
