One of our clients, James, saw impressive results for cold email outreach. From 31 initial opportunities, they booked 26 meetings, maintaining a 100% show rate across 12 meetings. Out of those, 10 leads were qualified and showed serious interest in the service, with 8 moving forward to closing calls. One deal closed on the first call. The campaign is still in its early phase, targeting a list of 42,000 contacts and averaging 10-11 new opportunities and 8-9 meetings daily. The client credits their success to having a clear, relevant offer and using simple, direct email copy that feels authentic - like an email from a coworker. This experience highlights that a thoughtful approach to cold email, paired with the right tools, can effectively generate quality leads and foster valuable business conversations. "Make sure that you are speaking in the same lingo as your target audience, join fb groups of your target audience, see how they talk to each other and use that in your copy. I'll definitely say I'm a believer in cold email now." Post your stories and tag us - we’d be happy to feature them!

How SDR/Sales teams can leverage our CRM 💪 Getting a positive reply from a cold email is just the beginning. In many cases, opportunities fail to convert into revenue due to lost leads, cold prospects, or lack of persistence. Here’s a daily action plan your sales team should follow, without exception: 1) Aim for zero inbox. Ensure no lead goes without a response. 2) Schedule next steps. Use the 'Tasks' section to organize follow-ups. 3) Leverage the Instantly-AI feature to gain insights into each lead, including company details, pain points, and key personas. This will help you craft smarter follow-up strategies. 4) Salesflows. Focus on two crucial lead segments: those interested but without scheduled calls, and those who attended a call but didn't close. Follow up with these leads until they either close or are disqualified. 5) Use dashboards. Create custom reports to understand your ROI and identify areas for improvement.

Here’s how Instantly supports your entire cold outreach journey, from start to closing clients. Let’s reduce the friction and eliminate the need to switch between tools. Time is precious. 1. Set up your account and add all your team members. 2. Purchase domains and mailboxes, and get them set up in minutes. 3. Warm up the mailboxes for 2-3 weeks, and continue the warmup during the campaign.  (OR set up Pre-Warmed accounts, start your outreach at day 1). 4. In the meantime, build your lead lists using the Lead Finder database. 5. If you use third-party sources to upload leads, verify them directly within the campaigns. 6. Create copy using the AI Sequence Generator and AI prompts to personalize your emails. Add Spintax to make each email unique. 7. Launch your campaigns, monitor deliverability, and switch mailboxes as needed. 8. Connect your CRM and apply the zero-inbox principle for your entire team. Reply to leads ASAP, and assign "not interested" and neutral statuses with AI. Use Salesflows and webhooks to follow up with leads via email and LinkedIn. 9. Add the B2B pixel to collect data and reach out to website visitors via email, LinkedIn, or phone. That’s pretty much the entire outbound flow. What else should we add? Let us know in the comments.
