Cold email, agent-augmented

Cold email still delivers the lowest cost-per-meeting in B2B outreach — $153 vs. $2,778 for cold calling. But deliverability has never been harder. We audit your setup, fix structural issues, and deploy AI agents that personalize at scale.

How we audit your email setup

Deliverability is the foundation everything else rests on. Most senders don't realize their emails aren't reaching inboxes until reply rates crater. We start with the infrastructure and work outward.

Authentication (SPF/DKIM/DMARC)

Only 7.6% of domains enforce DMARC properly. We check your records for misalignment, SPF lookup limits, DKIM key strength, and whether your DMARC policy actually protects you or just monitors.

Domain reputation

We assess sending domain age, warmup status, blacklist presence, and whether you're exposing your primary business domain to reputation damage from outbound. Dedicated sending domains are non-negotiable.

Sequence structure

We evaluate message count, follow-up intervals, CTA clarity, reading level, and length. The sweet spot is 50-125 words at a 5th-7th grade reading level — anything longer cuts reply rates in half.

Open and reply rates

We benchmark your current performance against the 3-5% average reply rate and identify whether issues are deliverability-driven (infrastructure) or messaging-driven (copy and targeting).

List hygiene

Bounce rates above 3% trigger ISP penalties. We check your verification process, list age, and data source quality. Hard bounce targets should be under 0.5%.

AI-augmented improvement

Our ALG system automates the most time-intensive parts of cold email — personalization research, send-time optimization, and reply handling — while keeping your outreach feeling genuinely human.

AI-written personalization at scale

Our agents research each prospect and generate personalized opening lines, company references, and trigger-based hooks. Personalized campaigns achieve 17% reply rates vs. 7% without — a 2.4x lift.

Send-time optimization

Agents analyze recipient engagement patterns and timezone data to schedule each email at the highest-probability delivery window, improving open rates without increasing volume.

Reply classification agents

Incoming replies are automatically classified as interested, objection, out-of-office, or not interested. Positive replies are routed immediately; objections trigger tailored follow-up sequences.

A/B testing cadence

Continuous testing of subject lines, opening lines, CTAs, and sequence length. Winning variants are automatically promoted across campaigns.
