A cold email is a short note to one person. Write it like one.
Cold outreach works when the address is real, the person is right, and the email reads as if it was written for them. We handle the first two: verified, current contacts with the role, company and industry fields that make the third possible. $99 once per file.

Six kinds of reply, six next steps
Every reply is worth something, including the negative ones. Sort them the same day.
Interested
“Sure, send some times.”
Answer within the hour. Offer two specific times, not a calendar link.
Not now
“Ask me again in Q1.”
Note the date. Write again then, referring to this reply.
Wrong person
“Talk to our ops lead.”
Thank them, ask for the name, write to that person mentioning the referral.
Unsubscribe
“Please remove me.”
Remove at once, everywhere. Send it to us and it leaves future files too.
Out of office
“Back on the 14th.”
Pause their sequence and resume after the return date.
Bounce
Mailbox not found.
Remove from the file. Report bounces to us within 7 days of delivery.
Read the symptom, find the cause
Most cold email problems show up in one of five numbers. Whether the fix is ours or yours depends on which one.

The email is generic, or the segment is too broad |
Narrow the segment and rewrite the opener around one role. |

Spam complaints above 0.1% |
The audience did not expect to hear from you |
Stop that segment. Check the role and industry filters match the offer. |

Fix authentication, cut volume, warm for two to three weeks. |

Title is right but responsibility sits elsewhere |

About cold email with our files
Is cold email legal?
To businesses in the US, yes, under CAN-SPAM, with a real sender, a postal address and a working opt-out. In the EU and UK it usually rests on documented legitimate interest. Not legal advice.
Which tool should I use?
A cold outreach tool built for sequences and reply detection. Not your newsletter platform, which will ban purchased lists.
What if many emails bounce?
If hard bounces pass 5% within 7 days of delivery, we replace the file or refund you.
How many cold emails can I send a day?
From a warmed mailbox, 20 to 50 new contacts a day is a common safe range. Use more mailboxes rather than more volume per mailbox.
Do you flag role addresses?
Yes. Shared inboxes like info@ and sales@ are flagged so you can leave them out of a first campaign.
How fresh is the data?
Checked monthly on the 9th, 11th or 13th, and again the day your file ships. Use rows within 60 days for cold outreach.
Can I send from my main domain?
No. Use separate sending domains so a bad week never touches your invoices or customer email.
Can I personalise from the file?
Yes. Job title, company, industry, size and city are on every row and map straight into merge fields.
