@Varad Ima This may be helpful too: Part 1: Technical Setup Domain Strategy - Buy dedicated domains just for email campaigns — never ever use your main company domain. - Set up DNS records immediately: SPF, DKIM, and DMARC. - Use Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 for better deliverability (roughly $4–6 per account per month). Email Account Setup - Create 1–4 email accounts per domain. - Start slow: 10 emails per account per day, then increase volume by ~10% each day. - Max once warmed up: ~25 emails per account per day. - Example: 4 domains × 3 accounts × 25 emails = 300 emails/day to begin with. IMPORTANT: Always warm up accounts for at least 14 days before ramping up. Extra tips that help a lot: - Add real profile photos and complete the accounts. - Older domains tend to perform better when you can get them. - Set up a custom tracking domain for accurate open/click data. Choosing Your Sending Platform I’ve run high-volume campaigns successfully with SmartLead, or Instantly, because they have good campaign sequencing, deliverability focus, analytics, and lots of real-world insights shared by other operators who successfully scaled. It’s one of the best for cold email right now. But honestly, your lead list and outreach message matter more. Part 2: Finding the Right People 1. LinkedIn-Based Data (Best for office workers & B2B decision makers) Perfect for software companies, consultants, law firms, marketing agencies, etc. Top tools: - Apollo— Most complete LinkedIn database - LinkedIn Sales Navigator + enrichment tools - Crunchbase — Great for startups and tech companies 2. Google Maps Data (Best for local/service businesses) Perfect for restaurants, repair shops, medical offices, retail stores, etc. You can use a scraper to automate the process. 3. Finding Similar Companies When you already have a winning customer profile and want more like them: - Pandamatch — Budget-friendly option - Ocean — More features but higher price
