Or if you are not in a hurry, then it's recommended that you follow the next parts to ensure good email 📧 deliverability.
(Recommend) WarmUp your Email Address
Email WarmUp helps improve your email deliverability by sending dummy emails to the WarmUp Pool of 50,000+ email addresses - showing the email providers that this email address is active & doesn't spam.
(Recommend) Technical DNS Setup
To maximize email deliverability & ensure that your emails 📧 land in Inbox, you should setup the following in your DNS settings:
SPF record
DMARC record
DKIM record
The setup is a bit different depending on your unique combination of Email Service Provider & DNS Provider, but follow the guide to get it setup.
(Recommend) Custom Domain for Email Tracking 📈
Emails 📧 are tracked by default using our in-house domain.
But to improve your email deliverability, it's a good idea to use your own custom domain or subdomain.
(Optional) Setup your Meeting Scheduler
Get booked with your leads without the back & forth.
Simply set up your meeting scheduler link & your leads will be able to book a time with you.
Meeting scheduler will check your calendar to ensure there are no conflicts.
As all things about technical setup are complete,
Let's launch a cold email sequence now! 🚀
