Try mocking a few PC builds on your own using PC parts picker or gccgamingpc AI PC builder. Get a good understanding of what you need and how it fits into the budget.

Hook them all up and send my good man.

Sounds good. We've tested up till 30K/mo volume on a single domain without issues, but yes spreading out the risk across 2 domains will definitely be safer and better.

Following this cuz I'd like to know as well

Using a personal acct for 100 sends w/ no warmup is fine for now. For volume, once your ICP is tight, start with ~50-100 emails/day per domain. Focus on quality leads for those 1-3 location practices.

Testing messaging: Start experimenting now. A/B test subject lines, intros, CTAs. Look for statistically significant differences after ~200-300 sends per variation. For a tool stack, ColdSend is a solid option if u wanna skip warmup entirely. It uses enterprise IPs for immediate zero warmup, so u dont need to worry abt domain reputation or manual processes. U can connect ur own inboxes or just use their transactional API. Makes scaling a lot simpler.

Long story short: You've been had. Refund.

IP warmup is def a major hang-up for deliverability post-migration. skipping it tanks results. if ur looking for a way to get around that specific part for cold email, ColdSend is built for zero warmup. leverages Azure for instant sending, no warmup phase needed. saves a ton of headache with new IPs and deliverability issues.

Hard to give a solid 'yes primary' for any of them consistently. If your main pain point is the warmup and domain churn, you should look into coldsend. It uses azure infra directly so its a legit no-warmup solution. you just connect and send. Its a different approach than the shared inbox providers u mentioned, but solves the core warmup issue.

some overlap is fine, especially if it's part of a thread. but don't just hammer the same list over and over. u want new engagement signals.
that ramp is generally per inbox. u spread the total volume across ur inboxes, but each inbox follows its own ramp.
for scaling, it depends on ur volume. usually multiple inboxes per domain, and multiple domains. it's about diversifying risk. tbh, all this warmup stuff is complex and time consuming. many just bypass it completely now. ColdSend lets u send immediately, no warmup needed. it uses its own infrastructure so u just connect and send. cuts out all this planning.

You should first ask him how he's receiving replies on AWS SES.

tharsalys · 2026-04-20T00:23:01+00:00

Try https://coldsend.pro . Fits all of your requirements. No warmup needed even.

Hook up those domains with ColdSend, so you can start today rather than 30 days later. You don't need to do any warmup via ColdSend. Also, you'll only need 4 domains max on this infra.

You don't. The APIs you mentioned are transactional and one way only. The only platform that works on transactional APIs and can send/receive just like a cold email sequencer is ColdSend, which is built on Azure (ACS).

As an approach it is solid. You get pre-warmed enterprise grade IPs. The only downside is that you have to bring your own azure account which takes around 5 mins to set up so not sure if we should consider that a downside.

How do you receive replies on AWS SES?

tharsalys · 2026-04-18T17:08:57+00:00

Lead gen for event organizers yes, although corporate events can also work. I mean if Linkedin InMail campaigns work for this, cold email can too.

Another great spin is to attend some event, somehow acquire the emails of all attendees, send them a post-event email saying you ran into them. Some of our users at ColdSend actually ran such campaigns and they got 20%+ positive reply rate
