1️⃣ Set Up Your DNS Records Properly
Before diving into any email activity, ensure your DNS records are configured correctly. This step is crucial for establishing your domain's credibility and avoiding spam filters.
- SPF Record: Authorizes your email server to send on behalf of your domain.
- DKIM Record: Digitally signs your emails, proving they weren’t tampered with.
- DMARC Policy: Aligns SPF and DKIM to protect your domain from spoofing.
📌 Pro Tip: Check our article in this regard on how to set up DNS records.
2️⃣ Warm Up Your Mailbox Gradually
Jumping straight into high-volume outreach can harm your domain reputation. Start by warming up your email account.
- Send Small Volumes: We begin with 10–20 emails daily and gradually increase over 2–4 weeks.
- Interact with Emails: We ensure that all emails are opened, replied to, and marked as important to simulate organic behavior.
📌 Pro Tip: Check our article to learn more about the warm-up process.
3️⃣ In 2 Weeks, Start Outreach Slowly
Once your domain is warmed up and has built credibility, you can start cold outreach. However, take it slow:
- Begin with Targeted Lists: Send emails to small, highly relevant segments first.
- Monitor Deliverability: Keep an eye on metrics like bounce rate and spam complaints to ensure your emails are landing in inboxes.
📌 Pro Tip: Gradually scale up your volume over time, avoiding sudden spikes.
4️⃣ Create High-Impact Email Templates
A successful cold outreach campaign relies on engaging and personalized email templates.
- Keep It Short: Your prospects are busy—get straight to the point.
- Focus on Value: Highlight how your product or service solves their problem.
- Personalize: Use details like the recipient's name, company, or role to make your email stand out.
- Add a Clear CTA: Make it easy for recipients to take the next step, like booking a call or replying.
📌 Pro Tip: A/B test different subject lines and templates to find what resonates best.
5️⃣ Use an Email Verification Tool
Sending emails to invalid addresses can hurt your domain reputation and decrease deliverability.
- Utilize our email validator list feature to verify email addresses before sending.
- Clean your email list regularly to avoid bounces and improve campaign performance.
📌 Pro Tip: Always verify new leads before adding them to your outreach list.
