Once we set up a new account for you and get your data imported, we want to do a Sphere of Influence campaign. The Sphere of Influence campaign runs on a time sequence about every six weeks. If you add a thousand people at the same time, you’re then going to have a thousand tasks six weeks from now to give people a phone call, and you’re going to get a thousand text messages that go out six weeks later.

The system can handle that without a problem. However, the goal is to get people to respond. If you send out a thousand messages and half of them respond, you’ve got 500 people you’re trying to interact with on the same day. What we recommend is you space that out and add people into the Sphere of Influence campaign a little more segmented.
Usually, what we’ll do is we’ll set you up with a little dashboard widget that shows all the people that you want to put on Sphere of Influence but are not yet there. There could be 900, there could be 2000, there could be 50.
Select Contacts to Add to Campaign
You can click on the list to see the results of every contact. From here, I can select how many people to call in a day or how many people to text and interact with during a day. My number is 10. I just think that’s a comfortable number, but of course, if you have admin help or maybe have more time available, you can do 50. You could do 100 if you think you can handle that. We’re just going to show you a couple of little examples here. I’m going to select, let’s say these two people. I’m going to go to actions, and I would go to apply or remove a tag.
Action – Apply or Remove Tag
All of our campaigns are instigated and started by applying a tag. I’m going to go through my list here. You’ll notice mostly Autopilot ISA tags at the beginning. These are all in alphabetical order and the autopilot campaign has the most tags. I’m just going to scroll through those until I get down here to the Ballen Sphere of Influence campaign, and I’m going to look for the Launch Sphere of Influence. I’m going to go ahead and click on that and hit Save, and I’m going to process the action. Now, those two people that I just selected, or the 10 or 50 or however many we are going to then have that tag applied, and then the sequence will then continue to run for them and that’s really all we need to know.
Suggested: How to Import Contacts into Infusionsoft
When you go back to your dashboard, if you have that little widget again, you can hit the little reload button and it should show you if we created this widget for you, it should show you the difference. Let’s say you had 94, you added 10 people, it should then say 104, and then again you can go right back and hit this number of contacts and do it again tomorrow and the next day and the next day.
