Frequently asked questions
How do marketing agencies get clients beyond referrals?+
By adding a predictable outbound channel alongside referrals. A consistent program of targeted email and LinkedIn outreach to ideal client profiles removes the feast or famine cycle that referral only agencies face.
How many cold emails should a B2B company send per month?+
Volume depends on list size, infrastructure and deliverability headroom. The right number is the most you can send while keeping inbox placement and reply quality healthy, not a fixed quota.
What makes a cold email get a reply?+
Relevance first. A tight target list, a specific reason for reaching out, and a short message about the prospect rather than the sender drive replies more than volume.
