§ 01 — Included

Eight disciplines, one program.

Most agencies do two or three of these and call it a day. We do all eight because the missing ones are usually why outbound stops working.

§ 01.01RESEARCH

ICP & segment mapping

A written profile of the three buyer segments that convert, and the two that look right but don't. We work from your close data, not guesses.

§ 01.02DATA

List building + enrichment

Apollo, Clay, and custom enrichment stitched into one verified list per segment. Emails verified at send time, not build time.

§ 01.03SETUP

Sending infrastructure

Dedicated sending domains. SPF, DKIM, DMARC aligned. Warmed IPs. You never send from your primary domain again.

§ 01.04COPY

Angles, not templates

Three to five angles per segment, each under 90 words. A/B'd against each other, winners scaled as the program builds.

§ 01.05SEND

Measured sending

Sent every morning, paced across multiple mailboxes, kept well under provider thresholds. No blasts. Nothing that looks like a machine did it.

§ 01.06DELIVERABILITY

Weekly deliverability audit

Inbox placement tests across Gmail, Outlook, and common B2B mail servers. We see a reputation drift before you feel it in replies.

§ 01.07HANDOFF

Reply handling

Shared inbox. Positive replies get context-rich booking messages within four business hours. Negative replies get a clean thanks. No begging.

§ 01.08REPORT

Weekly sync, monthly review

We meet every week to walk through volume, what's landing, and what we want to test next. Monthly we sit down for a proper program review. No slide decks, no junior handoffs.

§ 02 — Anatomy

What a good cold email looks like.

A real first-touch email, names redacted, sent about six months ago. Hover the highlights to see why each piece is there.

Why this works
01

Trigger that implies the pain

A new biz dev hire is verifiable on LinkedIn in 30 seconds. It signals exactly one thing: they want predictable pipeline beyond referrals. The trigger does the positioning work before the pitch starts.

02

One clear deliverable

"18 qualified intro calls in eight weeks." Not "grow your pipeline." Not "scale your agency." A number a founder can hold against their own target.

03

Tangible close, not a calendar link

Offering a sample target list removes the risk from saying yes. They get something useful before committing to a call. It filters for people who actually want what we're selling.

04

Length

83 words. On mobile, it's one screen. Every additional paragraph past this halves reply likelihood.

§ 03 — Infrastructure

The plumbing nobody sells, but everyone needs.

The fastest way to tank a good email program is to send from the wrong place. We provision the full stack before we write a single subject line.

01
Sending domains

Dedicated, never primary.

We register dedicated sending domains for every program, kept completely separate from your main. If reputation dips, your main inbox never notices.

02
Authentication

SPF / DKIM / DMARC, aligned.

The three records every outbound program needs and half get wrong. Properly aligned so Gmail and Outlook trust every send.

03
Warmup

Two to three weeks, before send one.

Inbox warmup that mimics human conversation across dozens of real accounts. By the time we send you, inboxes look lived-in.

04
Mailboxes

Multiple, rotated.

Every segment spreads across multiple mailboxes. Daily volume per box stays low. Providers see steady, human-shaped activity.

05
Placement tests

Gmail, Outlook, weekly.

Live inbox placement tests across major providers every Monday. Drift gets corrected before it reaches your prospects.

06
Ownership

It's all yours at exit.

Domains, mailboxes, data. All transferred to you at the end of the program. No hostage situations. No re-warmup if you hire us again.

§ 04 — Timeline

How a program runs, week by week.

What a retainer looks like from kickoff to steady state. Setup takes the first few weeks; replies typically start around week four. If early performance doesn't hit pace, we restructure at no extra cost.

Wk. 01
Discovery

Shape the buyer.

Two workshops: ICP deep dive, objection inventory. We leave with three segments, five triggers, and a written positioning hypothesis.

ICP
Wk. 02
Infra

Stand up the stack.

Sending domains registered, SPF/DKIM/DMARC set, mailboxes provisioned, warmup started. List building runs in parallel.

Setup
Wk. 03
Copy

Write the first wave.

Three to five angles per segment, draft → partner review → final. You approve every piece before a single send.

Copy
Wk. 04
Launch

First real sends.

Low volume, segmented, paced. Replies land in a shared inbox you have access to from hour one. First meetings book this week or next.

Live
Wk. 05–06
Optimize

Winners scale, losers die.

Angles that clear a threshold get more volume. The rest get killed or rewritten. Deliverability audit every Monday.

Scale
Wk. 07–10
Steady state

Pipeline comes online.

The program hits operating cadence. Weekly reports. Monthly partner review. Meetings land on your calendar with context: role, company, reason for interest.

Pipe
Wk. 11–12
Review

Decide what's next.

Full program review. If it's working, we expand to new segments or channels. If it's not, we tell you honestly and part ways.

Next

Typical reply rate

2–5%

Interested replies on first touch, across active programs. Cold-email industry average hovers around 1%.

Team on your program

Same always

The people you meet on day one run your program through the end. No handoffs, no junior staff mid-engagement.

What we won't do.

Let's see if we
can help.

Thirty-minute intro call. We'll ask what you're selling and to whom, then tell you whether outbound is even the right channel. If it is, you'll leave with a rough plan for your first 60 days.
