🚨 Reply Rates Collapsed Overnight - Here’s How We Recovered

Back in November, Google flipped a switch that quietly wiped out thousands of cold email mailboxes overnight - including mine and many of our clients’.

Campaigns that had been inboxing perfectly for years collapsed in days.

Reply rates tanked. Panic followed. And a lot of people declared cold email “dead.”

It wasn’t.

But it did change.

Over the last few months, we’ve been deep in the trenches testing, breaking, rebuilding, and stress-testing cold email infrastructure alongside some of the sharpest operators in the space. And we finally have clarity on what actually works right now.

In this new video, I break down:

- What really caused the Google bans (and what didn’t)

- The biggest deliverability mistakes people are still making in 2026

- Which “best practices” are now actively hurting inbox placement

- What infrastructure is performing best today

- How we rebuilt our entire system to future-proof against the next inevitable shake-up

This isn’t theory.

It’s the playbook we’re using to get back to consistent inboxing after one of the biggest disruptions cold email has seen.

If your campaigns dropped…

If Gmail suddenly stopped working for you…

Or if you’re still sending emails like it’s 2022…
