How to set up cold outreach tools

Lock in domain, DNS, inbox warm-up, and sending volumes before writing a single email. Protect deliverability from day one with proper setup.

Wiki

Inbox zero

Process email to empty daily by deciding whether to act, defer, delegate, or delete each message rather than leaving unread items as false to-do lists.

Backlinks

Earn links from other websites to your content to signal authority to search engines and improve rankings for target keywords over time.

Time blocking

Schedule focused work sessions in your calendar to protect concentration and ensure important tasks don't get crowded out by meetings and interruptions.

Reply rate

Measure what percentage of cold emails get responses to evaluate message quality and list targeting rather than sending more emails to poor prospects.
