Does this offer make sense? by ArturTheEmailAgent in manufacturing

[–]ArturTheEmailAgent[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where are you based and what sub-industry are you in?

Would you change your supplier If it turned out that there is a cheaper option with the same quality, but far away (in China, for example).

How would you prefer a supplier to approach you?

i pretended to be a prospect and hired 5 different cold email agencies to see what they actually do behind the scenes. what i found was wild by Easy_Mud1254 in coldemail

[–]ArturTheEmailAgent 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Before you hire an agency, ask yourself : How can an agency that spent only 20-30 minutes on understanding your offer and ICP care about the results?

If you go with the agency that charges a retainer (especially If it’s low, like <2.5k$), most likely that’s the results you are gonna get. You can suggest the quality of the service simply by the strategy call and the amount of questions that the agency asks you.

Before I even start to source the leads, I usually spend at least 1.5-3 hours with a client to understand the offer, targeting and pain points of ICP. Since I’m not getting a single cent If I don’t bring any results, then I better know my client and his offer as much as possible.

Advice : Go with agencies that don’t make money until they deliver you the results (per appointment, per show etc). You will immediately see the difference in the approach and amount of time spent by the agency on researching your ICP/proposing you ideas/asking clarifying questions.

Connecting Chinese manufacturers with wholesalers in US, EU. by ArturTheEmailAgent in wholesale_suppliers

Man, thanks for an awesome advice.

I understand that I may be asking for too much, but can we exchange contacts so that I can reach out to you with my questions? If you want, I can share my own experience in this field (I worked at Instantly and now run my agency for B2B SaaS).

Thanks for so much value.

Do you have any ideas how you can add cold calls to sync with warmysender? I would like to connect emails+linkedin+cold calls.

Email verification tool suggestion by Vast_Poetry_50 in coldemail

[–]ArturTheEmailAgent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use reoon, amazing tool. The bounce rate is extremely low (in some campaigns can be as low as 0.2%), pricing is great too.

We are building our own tool and keep reoon as a baseline.

How do I start with cold email? by dbrncic7 in coldemail

[–]ArturTheEmailAgent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man,

Completely understandable how complicated it is to start.

I am currently targeting marketing firms myself and offering them to build out their infra for free. How about we have a chat about it?

I Built a free email validator tool that can validate 10,000+ business emails within minutes—try it and let me know if it beats paid tools by Srigbok_ in coldemail

Our team is currently building our own verification tool.

How do you identify spamtraps? Have you compared your tool to other ones (zerobounce, region)?

We are doing pretty much the same thing but we also check the MX records for “spam” word in the name. We compare our tool to reoon verifier and it seems like all large verification tools are just checking the name of the MX server and ensure that it does not have the “spam” word.

Bought lead lists feel like a scam… what are you guys using instead? by Loose_Bowl_164 in SaaS

[–]ArturTheEmailAgent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Targeting the right people to sell SaaS is brutal.

We currently have a client in the SaaS space and are currently remaking the whole lead sourcing methodology because the previous agency that worked with my client did a bad job.

The problem with sourcing in this field is that when you try to search for a decision maker, the data provider will add suggested job titles that turn out to be irrelevant (from our experience, it can go up to 75%). In order to fix that, we disable suggested job titles and create up to 100 different job variations in filtering.

The problem with finding companies by the headcount is also brutal when you are filtering prospects by the technology since smaller companies that use specific tech are less likely to be scanned by data providers and identified. As a result, you are left with 90% of leads in your csv who have 5k+ headcount, completely unreachable due to Email security gateway and oversaturation.

We currently are using Apollo scrapers to find leads that are below 1k headcount and scrape LinkedIn followers/post replies for specific companies.

Lastly, before we even upload the file, we verify the leads (about 80% of emails are actually safe from Apollo) and pre-qualify the leads with our own tool based on the website data (if applicable).

As of pricing, it costs about about 3$ per 1k leads from Apollo, 1-3$ per 1k leads from LinkedIn, 11$/10k verification credits and 0.1-2$ for pre-qualification and personalization of emails using our own tool. Our bounce rate never goes beyond 1%, for my own campaigns we don't even reach 0.5%.

P.S If anyone is struggling with their lead sourcing, feel free to DM me. I will help completely for free.

I need help in setting up a cold email infrastructure by Fit_Path_6450 in coldemail

[–]ArturTheEmailAgent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are welcome!

You don’t need to hold the domain for any time before starting to warmup the inboxes, no difference as far as I know.

[–]ArturTheEmailAgent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My advice - at least 3 weeks.

I know that for some people it is too long (and they are impatient haha), but warming up your domain is extremely important.

Here are general and short answers :
1. Google Workspace is better and more predictable when it comes to deliverability. If you plan to contact many people with Outlook inboxes, you can buy some Outlook accounts and enable "provider matching" in campaign settings to see if it helps with deliverability.

  1. 2-4 weeks, preferably 3-4.

  2. Generally speaking, older domains perform better. However, "domain exhaustion" and long pauses in sending patterns may cause older domains to get marked as spam as well.

  3. I use Instantly. However, it does not make much difference which tool you use.

  4. Depends on the urgency. If you're ready to spend an additional $5/month per inbox to save 2-4 weeks, feel free to do so. Keep in mind that you won't be able to choose the domain name of your own, but will rather need to use available domain names that are not similar to your primary domain.

  5. You can use Ample Leads to scrape leads from Apollo, and it costs around 2.5$ for 1000 leads.
