Process
How an engagement runs.
Five stages, in the open. You can see what's happening at every step, and everything we build lands in accounts you own.
The five stages
§ 01-
1.1
Scope, by email
Write to us with what you sell and who buys it. We'll tell you whether outbound is a fit before either of us spends money on it. We don't take every engagement: if your buyers aren't reachable by email, or your offer needs a different channel, we'll say so.
-
1.2
Install, in your accounts
You create the accounts; we configure them. The stack runs in your own cloud under your ownership, connected by OAuth - we never hold your passwords or API keys. Cold mail never touches your primary domain: dedicated secondary sender domains are set up with full SPF / DKIM / DMARC authentication.
-
1.3
Warm up, then ramp
New inboxes warm up before a single campaign sends, and volume ramps conservatively from there. Warm-up is measured in weeks, not days; anyone promising full volume in 48 hours is skipping the step that protects your deliverability.
-
1.4
Run, with a human in the loop
Lists are built from the places your buyers actually live, then enriched and verified before sending. Openers are researched and drafted per prospect with AI, and every message passes a human review gate before it goes out. Suppression lists are honored across every campaign.
-
1.5
Report, weekly
Qualified replies land in your inbox as they happen. A weekly summary and a live dashboard show what went out, what landed, and who replied - the real numbers, not a vanity export.
Common questions
§ 02-
2.1
What does it cost?
Pricing is scoped per engagement. Tell us what you sell and who buys it, and we'll put a scope together and send a fixed quote within 48 hours. No call required.
-
2.2
How fast can we be live?
Install is quick; warm-up isn't. Plan in weeks, not days, to reach sustained sending volume. The schedule is set by deliverability physics, not by impatience - rushing it is how domains get burned.
-
2.3
What do we own if we part ways?
Everything. The accounts, domains, lists, and workflows are yours from day one, and they stay exactly where they already live. What you'd be taking over is the operating: the monitoring, sourcing, iteration, and judgment calls that keep a pipeline producing.
-
2.4
Why monthly, and not a one-time setup?
Because outbound decays without an operator. Deliverability shifts, lists exhaust, copy fatigues, and infrastructure ages - a pipeline that's installed and abandoned goes quiet within months. The install gives you the engine; the monthly engagement is the running of it. You own everything either way.
-
2.5
Will it work for us?
It depends on your offer and your market, and we'll give you our honest read before you commit. Nobody can honestly guarantee replies or inbox placement; we build the infrastructure and sending discipline that earn them.
