This helps in running bigger campaigns efficiently.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, using secondary emails reduces the risk of your domain getting blacklisted.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you send the same emails using secondary emails, ESP takes it as separate actions. Hence, it won\u2019t flag you as spam.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"2-Make-Sure-Your-Email-List-is-Verified\">2. Make Sure Your Email List is Verified<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Email list verification is non-negotiable whether you get your leads manually or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saleshandy.com\/blog\/buy-leads\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">buy leads<\/a> from a third party.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These lists <em>often contain outdated, inaccurate, or inactive emails.<\/em> By verifying them, you can remove the ones that harm your campaign.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"3-Make-Sure-Your-Email-Accounts-are-Warmed-Up\">3. Make Sure Your Email Accounts are Warmed Up<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Everyone wants to scale quickly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But with properly warmed-up email accounts, the speed of scaling and the results of the efforts double.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s like winning the trust of ESPs once you are not here to spam. After that, you can gradually increase the number of emails you send daily.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s ok if you feel you are not well informed to do this all by yourself. You can utilize<a href=\"https:\/\/www.saleshandy.com\/blog\/email-warm-up-tools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> email warmup tools<\/a> and leave the rest on them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"4-nbspSend-Follow-up-Emails\">4. &nbsp;Send Follow-up Emails<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You increase the chance email opens by ~30% when you send a follow-up email.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saleshandy.com\/blog\/how-to-write-a-follow-up-email\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">perfectly written follow-up email<\/a> has often been more effective than the first email because of its value.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saleshandy.com\/mobile-app\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Saleshandy\u2019s mobile app,<\/a> you never reply late.

Make Sure the Email Content is Under 100 &#8211; 150 Words<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cold emails should be short and to the point. You don\u2019t have to show creativity in them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You have limited time before the reader closes your email or marks it as spam to convince them you have a genuine solution to their problem.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hence, keep the word count under 100 to 150 words max.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"7-Always-Add-a-CTA-in-The-Cold-Email\">7.
