Why startup email gets ignored

Most startup emails are templates sent to big lists. Buyers can tell, and they delete.

1

Generic messages.

Nothing about the reader's actual problem.

2

One and done.

Most replies come from emails two through four. Most founders stop at one.

3

No nurture.

Leads who aren't ready today never hear from you again.

4

Deliverability issues.

Great copy that lands in spam.

Questions founders ask

Is cold email still effective for B2B startups?

Yes, when it's personal and sent to a tight list. Our clients see reply rates 3 to 10x the industry average.

What's a good reply rate?

5 to 10% is solid. Above 10% means your message is sharp.

Which email platform should we use?

We work with what you have. If you're starting fresh, we'll recommend a setup that fits your size and budget.
