Platforms to Use

⇒ Apollo.io
⇒ Lemlist
● Go to sequences
● Create 2-3 step email sequence with example scripting
● Add emails from excel doc and map fields
● Add to sequence!
Understanding Deliverability
⇒ Deliverability = Your emails making it to the inbox
⇒ In order to ensure good deliverability, you want to “warm up” your
email address
⇒ Either begin by sending a small amount of emails + subscribing to
email lists like Groupon etc. that emulate normal human behavior, or
sign up for Lemwarm so that you can start sending out larger numbers of
emails over time
⇒ You also want to make sure that you are cleaning your list using a
platform like neverbounce prior to sending so that you do not affect your
sender rating
And so on.. Daily sending limit through GSuite is 400 per day, you do
not want to be sending this many per day, typically you want to max
this at around 100 to be safe (per account)
⇒ You may also consider buying another domain - just for your emails
so that your normal use deliverability doesn’t get compromised
