About this page
Cold outreach is first-contact email to people who do not know you, for sales, partnerships or link requests. The software here typically handles sequences, personalization, scheduling and reply tracking.
This is the use case with the most compliance and reputation risk. Rules on unsolicited email differ by country, and sending to bad addresses can damage your sending domain. Check current rules for where your recipients are before you send.
What to check before choosing
- Whether it handles inbox warm-up, rotation or limits, or expects you to manage deliverability separately.
- Whether it verifies addresses or needs a separate verification tool.
- How unsubscribes and opt-outs are handled.
- Whether pricing counts contacts, emails sent or connected inboxes.
