    Cold Email

    One to one email sent to a prospect who has not opted in, aimed at starting a sales conversation.

    Definition

    Cold email is a personalized business email sent to a targeted prospect, positioned as a one to one message rather than a broadcast marketing email.

    Want booked sales meetings on your calendar?

    Month to month. Scoped on a 20 minute call.

    Why it matters

    Done right, cold email scales cheaper than calling and can produce 5 to 15 booked meetings per month per SDR. Done wrong, it burns your primary domain.

    How it works

    • Buy secondary sending domains and mailboxes
    • Warm each mailbox for 2 to 4 weeks
    • Send 20 to 40 emails per mailbox per day, rotated across many mailboxes
    • Personalize the first line and the ask, keep the email short
    • Route replies to a unified inbox and book meetings fast
