Outreach that gets replies, not spam complaints
We fix deliverability first, so your outreach actually reaches the inbox before we worry about the perfect subject line.
Cold email is outbound outreach to people who haven't opted in, built on domain authentication and warming so messages reach the inbox, then sequenced and personalised at the account and role level to earn a reply.
What is Cold Email?
Cold email is outbound outreach to people who haven't opted in, built on domain authentication and warming so messages reach the inbox, then sequenced and personalised at the account and role level to earn a reply. It solves separate problems in order - reputation and authentication first, list quality second, message relevance third.
Skipping the deliverability work is expensive in a way that's easy to miss - a new domain sending unsolicited email at volume looks identical to spam infrastructure until it's proven otherwise, so mailbox providers filter it out by default, and no amount of copywriting fixes a message that never gets read.
It's different from drip campaigns, which nurture people who already opted in, and from automated flows more broadly, where deliverability is largely a given. Cold email is specifically outreach to people who haven't given permission yet.
Common problems we solve
New domain filtered as spam
A domain sending unsolicited email at volume looks identical to spam infrastructure until it earns trust.
Copy optimised before deliverability
Teams write the perfect opening line for a message that never reaches an inbox to be judged.
Generic, mail-merged outreach
Messages get treated as spam the same way once deliverability is fixed, if personalisation stops at a first name.
Domain reputation burned by rushing volume
Sending real volume before the domain is warmed damages sender reputation quickly.
Open rate tracked as the success metric
Open tracking has become unreliable since Apple Mail Privacy Protection, making it a poor signal.
Everything covered in this service
Domain & Deliverability Setup
A dedicated sending domain with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC configuration and a gradual warming schedule.
List Building & Verification
Prospect list building against a defined ICP with verification to keep bounce rates low.
Sequence & Personalisation
3-5 touch sequences with genuine value at each step, personalised at the account and role level.
Reply Tracking & Optimisation
Reply-rate and positive-response tracking with sentiment triage and ongoing sequence iteration.
Our optimization framework
Warm
A dedicated sending domain is configured with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, then warmed gradually before it carries real send volume.
Build List
Prospects are sourced against a defined ideal customer profile and verified to keep bounce rates low.
Sequence
A 3-5 touch sequence is written with a distinct reason to reply at each step, not a single pitch repeated with different subject lines.
Personalise
Messaging is tailored at the account and role level - what a VP of Ops sees is different from what an IC sees at the same company.
Launch
Sends are staged and monitored for spam-complaint and bounce signals that could damage sender reputation.
Iterate
Sequences are refined based on positive-response rate, replacing steps that generate opens but no replies.
What actually changes
| Before | After |
|---|---|
| A fresh domain sends high volume immediately and gets filtered | Domain reputation is built deliberately before volume ramps up |
| Success measured by opens, which are largely untrackable now | Success measured by reply and positive-response rate |
| Same message, merge-tagged first name only | Personalised at the account and role level |
| One sending domain carries both cold and transactional risk | Dedicated domain isolates cold outreach risk from your primary domain |
What we report on
Inbox placement
Tracked through domain warming and authentication checks, not assumed once DNS records are set.
Reply and positive-response rate
Measured directly rather than relying on unreliable open-rate tracking.
List quality
Reported by bounce and complaint rate kept within safe thresholds.
Sender reputation
Monitored as volume ramps in proportion to what the domain has actually proven it can handle.
Tools & platforms
Industries we optimize for
Built for teams like yours
Why choose EASI7
We fix tracking before we touch results
Every engagement starts with the same audit we'd run on our own accounts, so the numbers you're optimizing against are actually true.
One accountable team, not siloed vendors
The same team that does this also owns the rest of your stack - no handoff, no blame-shifting between vendors.
Built for how AI search actually works
Everything we build is structured to be extractable by AI answer engines, not just ranked in a list of blue links.
Reporting tied to your own dashboard
Every number we report ties back to GA4/GTM events you can see directly - not a screenshot from a tool you can't independently verify.

How to engage us for this
Project-based
A defined outcome with a start and end date - an audit, a migration, a campaign build, a tracking overhaul. Fixed scope, fixed price, agreed upfront.
Ongoing retainer
Continuous management and optimization once the initial build is live - campaigns, SEO, reporting, and iteration run every month under one accountable team.
Advisory
Strategy and oversight without full delivery - we review what's already running, unblock decisions, and point an in-house or existing team in the right direction.
Common questions
Typically two to four weeks, depending on how much daily volume you eventually want to send. Rushing this step is the single most common reason a new sending domain gets flagged early.
No - reply rate depends on your offer, your list quality, and how much the recipient actually needs what you're selling, none of which we control entirely. What we can guarantee is that the message reaches the inbox and is relevant enough to be read, which is the part actually within our influence.
We build sequences with required elements like clear sender identification and an easy opt-out, and we advise on list-sourcing practices that keep you within relevant regulations for your target markets. Compliance requirements vary by jurisdiction, so this gets scoped to where your prospects actually are.
A dedicated domain isolates cold outreach risk from your primary domain's reputation. If a cold sequence gets flagged, it doesn't put your transactional or marketing email deliverability at risk.
Automation and drip flows target people who already opted in and know you - deliverability is largely a given. Cold email targets people who haven't opted in at all, which is why authentication and warming come first here in a way they don't for a warm list.

Cold Email, in detail
Scope, area by area
| Area | What we deliver |
|---|---|
| Technical Setup | Sending domain, DNS authentication records, and a documented warming schedule |
| List | Verified, ICP-matched prospect list with bounce and complaint rates kept within safe thresholds |
| Sequences | Multi-touch outreach sequences with personalisation fields mapped per segment |
| Reporting | Reply-rate and positive-response tracking, not open-rate vanity metrics |
How this compares
| Deliverability-First Cold Email | Spray-and-Pray Outreach |
|---|---|
| Domain reputation is built deliberately before volume ramps up | A fresh domain sends high volume immediately and gets filtered |
| Success measured by reply and positive-response rate | Success measured by opens, which are largely untrackable now |
| Personalised at the account and role level | Same message, merge-tagged first name only |
Neither approach can guarantee a reply - the difference is whether the message even had a fair chance of being read.
