    Positive Reply Rate

    The percentage of replies that show interest, not a bounce or unsubscribe.

    Definition

    Positive reply rate isolates the replies that indicate real interest, filtering out out of office, unsubscribes, and clear no's.

    Want booked sales meetings on your calendar?

    Month to month. Scoped on a 20 minute call.

    Why it matters

    Total reply rate can be inflated by unsubscribes. Positive reply rate is the honest number that ties to meetings booked.

    How it works

    • Tag each reply as positive, referral, not now, or no
    • Track positive reply rate weekly per campaign
    • Rewrite copy and offer when it drops below 1 percent
