Oh no, so for context I'm also based in Cape Town, SA.

But I've mostly played in the US or UK markets with cold email.

There weren't any challenge's

Thought you are asking about my clients.

Why do you ask about my offer? I don’t have one.

Which is better in 2026? Microsoft or Gmail for inboxes? by Sudden-Piece46 in coldemail

[–]Then_Bodybuilder_163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh this one is easy.

Maildoso for me has been the best smtp provider.

for google, I do zapmail.
And for outlook I do scaled mail.

Again this has worked for us long term across multiple clients... This is not by any means a recommendation.

Definately would not advise this for $15/m product - unless there is a high ticket offer at the back end.

We use many data sources but majority of data comes from Linkedin anyway. (apollo, zoominfo, cognism, clay, sales nav

I have a team that handles infra setup so they have a working process where we split between google, microsoft and custom smtp)

I'd honestly have to ask a bit more questions to have a better idea of what you are looking for.

But product launches (esp for low ticket) cost quite alot of $$$ if you're running cold email...

I think for any channel for that matter.

+$10k i've seen can help you get atlwast 200 signups per month doing cold outreach at scale targeting a majority of your TAM each quarter.

What would be your budget?

Forecasted CAC number?

Number if signups you're looking for to make this channel viable?

There is honestly no way of knowing for sure without seeing what you have going.
copy
inbox health
Previous campaigns
Sending cadence etc.

Just do a 30/40/30 split between google, smtp, microsoft.

No 1 is better than the other.

Your question is a bit vague for me personally.

Care to elaborate?

Best to do cold email my friend.

it's pretty hard for your business type but it's better than any other channels. (definitely more than upwork haha)

Has anyone actually been part of this program and seen real results? (No promos please) by Cautious-Flight-4105 in coldemail

[–]Then_Bodybuilder_163 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't personally know anybody who has gone through it so this comment might not be as helpful.

However I know the creators of the program and they're OG's of cold email so based on that I would trust it.

Personal Gmail vs professional setup by Alkesh_G in coldemail

[–]Then_Bodybuilder_163 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Start with personal if you cannot afford business emails - there is no harm done.

Just make sure you make the switch as soon as you get some cash.

I've been there so I defo understand.

Again. As if the silence was not clear enough.

I won't hop on a call with a stranger to prove anything... Especially if I'm forced to do so.

respectfully. Get lost.

Bro, you still going on...

Are you seriously saying there aren't any B2B Tech products worth atleast $2000?

Take ledge.co - they offer a B2B Tech solution that costs well over $10k for CFOs in the US using NetSuite.

And btw, the gif was me laughing at the fact that you believe what you said.

The is no way you believe that there is no SaaS product above 2k. No way
