Who we work with

Small and mid-sized B2B companies built on repeat customers and recurring orders.

Usually a good fit

  • You sell B2B, and your customers buy from you more than once.
  • What you sell is worth more than $2,000 a deal.
  • You can describe your best customer, even if you've never built a list of them.
  • You're planning to start cold email but aren't sure how, or you've tried it before and it didn't work.

Usually not

  • You sell B2C. Cold email to consumers doesn't work well, and we'd rather tell you that than try.
  • What you sell is under $2,000. At that size the math on cold email rarely works out.
  • You'd like a number before a conversation. We'd rather look at your business first.
  • You sell mainly to government. Public-sector buying runs on tenders and procurement rules, so cold email rarely moves it.
Some of the businesses we've run this for

Custom packaging, Albany, New York. Sixty years in business, a small team, and decades of customer relationships never worked as a list.

Contractor-matching platform, Northern Virginia. Needed a steady supply of contractors and suppliers joining the platform, one local market at a time.

Furniture and decor wholesale, Los Angeles. Three brands, three trade showrooms, and ten years of show contacts never worked as a list.

How our cold email lead generation works

We only take this on when we think it will work for you.

On the first call we look at what you sell, who buys it and anything you've tried before. If cold email won't work for your business, we'll say so on that call. If it will, we set up and run the campaign and pass every reply to your team to follow up.

01

Diagnose

We look at what you sell, who buys it, and what you've already tried, if anything.

02

Test

We run a 30 to 45 day pilot and pass every interested reply to you the day it comes in.

03

Scale

When a campaign brings in replies, we keep it running and add new customer segments one at a time.

I only take on a business when I think cold email will work for it. I stay your point of contact from the first call onward and keep you updated on where your campaign stands. The work is done by a small team I've worked with for over ten years.

For those ten years I've helped small business owners find the right people to contact, clean up their customer data and keep follow-ups from being missed.

A cold email campaign depends on the list, the emails, the sending setup and someone answering replies. I started building lists with Clay in 2024. The sending side, from separate domains to a steady daily volume, I learned by running campaigns for clients.

Not with us. Sending cold email from your main domain is the most common mistake we see. Once that domain gets flagged as spam, it is your everyday email that suffers. Quotes, invoices and replies to your existing customers start landing in junk, and it can take months to recover.

We never send from your main domain. We buy separate domains that look like yours and point to your website, and all sending happens there. Interested replies move to your normal inbox. If one of those domains gets flagged, your business email is untouched.

About three weeks of setup and warm up before the first email goes out, then a 30 to 45 day pilot. First replies usually arrive in the first week of sending. By the end of the pilot you will know whether this audience responds.

Expect 1 to 1.5% of the people we email to reply, and around 20% of those replies to be interested. Getting 10 to 15 replies in the pilot is a good start. It shows the channel works for your market, and we improve the targeting and the emails from there. Our best campaigns, like the ones shown above, have run well above that.

Your team does. Interested replies are flagged and sent to whoever you name, usually the owner or a sales rep, and that person takes it from there. We do not close deals for you.

One point of contact who knows your business well, and a one-hour call each week. On that call we answer questions about your ideal customers, you approve the offers and the email copy, and you share anything that could lift the response rate, such as case studies, customer results or product sheets.

Every engagement starts with a 30 to 45 day pilot for $5,000. The pilot shows whether cold email works for your market. If it does, we continue month to month. If it does not, you stop there with no further commitment.

No. If you have one, we use it. If you don't, we build one from the sources your buyers actually show up in, and we check every email address before anything is sent.

Usually the emails never reached the inbox, or they reached the wrong people. On the first call we look at what you sent. If the problem was the audience, we will tell you.
