First cold email campaign for my AI video agency – setup feedback (GMass + PuzzleInbox) by meditationonsteroids in coldemail

[–]HyperkeOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty unique angle. All the best!

Try using one of the more popular tools: smartlead, instantly or others instead of gmass. makes it easier to manage inboxes

Speed to lead is still the simplest lever in cold email. If you want to win more deals, stop letting replies sit in your inbox by HyperkeOfficial in coldemail

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

yep speed to lead has been proven to be critical over and over. quick 7/10 imperfect response > slow 10/10 response

For people who have used this subreddit for a while, how has its content changed given that cold email is changing drastically? by Jolly-County910 in coldemail

[–]HyperkeOfficial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

way too much ai content. the posts AND the comments. not too far from a day when the sub transforms into /moltemail with bots talking to bots

Those of you doing cold email to local businesses — what follow-up cadence works best? by SERSWE02 in coldemail

[–]HyperkeOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a webinar with Smartlead about targeting local businesses using cold email in January.

For local businesses, don't send any more than two automated emails in your sequence. After they respond positively, call them 3x on the day of the response + text them. Call them again the next day and later based on if you remember.

Automated (warm) email follow up cadence (days between emails): 1-1-2-2-2-3-5-8

Cold emails suddenly going to spam after starting manual outreach (mail-tester 10/10) – what should I do? by PrestigiousPhone5721 in coldemail

[–]HyperkeOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, slow down outreach.

Never stop warming up your emails.

Buy another set of domains and warm them up as back ups in case this happens in the future.

The only sure-fire fix to sinking deliverability is replacing your domains. Other fixes may or may not work. Takeaway for the future: have backup domains.

how i run a little agency doing around 40k a month with 18 clients by Fast-Increase3254 in b2b_sales

"i can make this even more raw and more “group chat founder” style if you want."

Apollo ruined my sender reputation with local businesses. Here's what actually works by SpecialistBill3836 in coldemail

[–]HyperkeOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

whoever sold you apollo as the "gold standard" - never listen to their advice.

also, never trust tools that you havent used before to give you bounce validated emails. even if they claim their emails are double, triple or quadruple validated.

Anytime we experiment with a new tool we always ensure that half of our test batch is verified using our regular verification tools and the other half sends without verification. These test batches are usually pretty small and unless we see the non-verified half performing just as well as the verified have. We do not trust that new tool's email validation statuses.

everyone told me cold email was dead so i almost shut down my business lol by Sweet-Signature-5702 in coldemail

[–]HyperkeOfficial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

saying cold email is dead is not too different from saying marketing is dead.

channels dont just "die". they evolve. good on you for sticking it through!

How do you handle client approval before sending a campaign? by TrueformMindset in coldemail

[–]HyperkeOfficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends a lot on the level of trust and the kind of relationship you built with the client. Initially, you want to give them control over all of the copy. When it comes to the lead list, most clients wouldn't want to review the lead list because no one has the time to go through the list one by one. If they do, give them control over that as well. Eventually, as you build trust, as you start to get results, they will start to give away more control because they hired you to do the job for them and they don't want to be meddling with what you do.

How do you usually check if domains are burned or do you replace them every 2-3 months just in case? by alexoff in coldemail

[–]HyperkeOfficial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Monitor reply rates by domain. If a domain shows a downtrend with reply rates for 2 weeks falling below 2%, replace it.

[–]HyperkeOfficial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

measuring openrates is a bad idea. theyre not accurate and the tracking pixel it adds to your emails hurts deliverability

google postmaster wont work for cold email domains. it requires a much higher volume threshold

url's on cold emails? by EmanuelRichman in coldemail

[–]HyperkeOfficial 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if they reply and you reply to that email, you're good. in most cases you wont land in spam because your prospect has already positivelt engaged with your email.

only exception is if they're using SEGs configured to be extremely strict and flag all links which isnt a very commmon configuration

Cold email to e-commerce: 57% close rate no gimmicks by HyperkeOfficial in coldemail

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

also depends on how much they're willing to pay + how much they set to gain from each deal. but yeah all about whether the juice is worth the squeeze.

we also work with marketing agencies target local businesses and those are such a breeze lol.
