we build cold email systems for agencies that want a full pipeline without lifting a finger if you run an ad agency, seo agency, email marketing agency, tiktok shop agency, or any digital service business this is what we do: we build your entire cold email infrastructure we find your ideal clients we write the scripts we send the emails we manage every reply we book the calls directly into your calendar you wake up. calls are there. you close them. that's it. here's what that looks like for agencies like yours: MARKETING AGENCY: - 5 calls booked in 24 hours - $8,000 cash collected in the first week - 4.52% reply rate - launched monday. paid by tuesday. ECOM MARKETING AGENCY: - went from 1 call every 2 weeks to 10 calls every 2 weeks - 900% increase in booked calls - in 15 days - same offer and service. just 175x more volume. AI AGENCY: - 3 clients closed in 30 days - $36,000 in contracted revenue - best campaign hit a 9.92% reply rate - 20x the industry average ECOM/SEO AGENCY: - 10 calls and 2 closes in 14 days - $15,000 in revenue - 30x return on campaign cost ECOM AD AGENCY: - 3 clients closed in 25 days - $51,000 in pipeline - from 12,000 emails - brand new campaign. results in the first month. 5 agencies 5 completely different services all printing pipeline from the same system the system: - 60+ aged domains in your brand name - 180 warmed inboxes sending under 15/day each - leads scraped and verified to match your exact ICP - scripts written from data across 200+ campaigns - every reply managed and warm called into your calendar your agency gets a full outbound machine without hiring a single SDR no posting content hoping someone DMs you no relying on referrals that come and go no running ads to generate leads for a business that generates leads for other people the irony of most marketing agencies: you build client acquisition systems for your clients but you dont have one for yourself your clients have full pipelines because of you your pipeline is empty because you never built your own we fix that if you're a digital agency doing $10K-100K/month and you want to scale past referrals and content this is what we were built for we book our agency clients 100+ calls a month so they can focus on what they actually do best delivering results for their clients not hunting for the next one dm me "CALLS" for more info or book in with the link in my bio

I’ve used a mass cold email system to collect nearly $300k this year in revenue for my agency Giving away the strat so you can copy for yourself Here's exactly how to replicate it:

Step 4: short emails, light sequences. > Under 80 words > Their world first, then the offer > Ask for interest, not time: "worth a look?" > No links or images in email 1 > Follow-ups in the same thread We average 1.7 emails per person. New people beat more follow-ups.

Step 5: reply in minutes, not hours. > Label every reply by intent (AI does ours) > Interested gets 2 call times, not a booking link > "Not now" gets re-mailed in 60 to 90 days Fresh list + clean infra + one clear offer + fast replies = calls. Follow me if this helped.

Instead of Netflix and chllin' tonight... Do this instead: > Export every "not right now" reply from the last 6 months > Keep the ones older than 60 days > Send each one a single line, in the same thread, from the same inbox "Is now a better time?" If you've got 200 of those and 1 in 10 books, that's 20 calls from emails you've already sent. Here's how we do it: > Tag every reply by intent as it comes in (interested, not now, wrong person, no) > "Not now" goes into a list with the date they replied > At 60 to 90 days, the one-liner goes out > If they say yes, offer 2 times straight away, no booking link They already know who you are. That's the whole trick.

Ranking every cold email tool we've paid for, after 5M emails sent this year: S tier > EmailBison: built for volume, doesn't choke on hundreds of inboxes > Clay: waterfall enrichment, so you stop paying for one data source that misses half the list > Claude Code: scrapers, list cleaning, campaign analysis, copy variants. Replaced about 3 tools for us A tier > Instantly: the best place to start if you're under ~50 inboxes > A catch-all verifier on top of your normal one B tier > Apollo: fine for finding companies, but everyone is emailing the same export > Smartlead: solid, nothing wrong with it, but not exceptional Avoid > "All in one" tools that do data, sending and warmup in one place. When one part breaks you can't swap it out > Open tracking, in any tool Starting from zero this week? Clay + EmailBison + a Google inbox provider covers about 90% of it.

Agencies hiring a salesperson are telling you, in public, that they need more calls. Here's how we build a list of every one of them and email them within 48 hours of the job going up. Here are the 7 steps:

Step 6: Pitch around the hire, not against it. "Most agencies we work with get calls on the calendar while the new rep ramps. Want me to show you how that would look for you?" This list gets roughly 2x the reply rate of our static agency lists.

Step 7: Run it every week. New agencies post sales roles every day, so the list never runs dry. If you want the me to show you how we can do this for your company, book a call with us (link in bio)
