Instantly.ai

Soon we will be releasing a new feature that is bound to change the cold email game forever. Just a hint: You will be able to send campaigns and get replies from Day 1, with no more waiting times. Can you guess what it is?

Feedback needed! We're looking to roll out more awesome features ?? ??

Open Rates Warning: Fixed Recently, Gmail has started displaying “Images in this message are hidden” warnings for some emails with open tracking pixels, and marking these emails as spam. We’ve updated our open tracking technology to address this, aiming to reduce the likelihood of these warnings appearing. While this update improves the situation, we still recommend sending emails as text-only for the best deliverability. However, if you’re using open tracking, this enhancement should help with fewer warnings and better overall email performance. Questions? (You can ask how it works technically, but that’s a secret ??)

AI Custom Reply Labels ?? ??? There is no need to label emails manually ever again; our AI will do it for you. Instantly AI can now intelligently detect and apply the appropriate custom labels to your emails, based on the key words/phrases you provide. It works in more than 50 languages. The best news? You have this advanced feature at no extra charge. Find Custom Reply Labels in AI Automation section -> Automatically tag interest status in replies (enable it) -> Select labels. Scroll ?? for more information. Happy labeling!

Are you drowning in tool subscriptions? You need less tools than you think. Sales teams can actually run outbound effectively with less than 3 tools. We have seen companies struggling with 15+ tool subscriptions while barely using half of those. ?It's costing them time, money, and sometimes sanity to make all those tools all work together. The solution when you want to simplify your tooling → All-in-one platforms. Instantly.ai has been pushing so many product upgrades over the last few months: - 160M+ B2B database - Email catch-all verification - Done-for-you email infra - Website visitor identification - Built-in AI CRM Instantly has been listening closely to what the market wants and delivered on it. Excited to see what they will build next. (?Felipe Aranguiz Marija Crnojacki any hints?)

Choo choo ?? the Instantly.ai innovation train doesn't stop. We just launched 3 new features: 1. Advanced Campaigns Filters: You can now filter leads in your campaigns based on the number of times they have Opened, Replied or Clicked a link in your emails helping you prioritize those who might be interested. And you can filter based on when a lead was "Last Contacted". 2. Better Tagging filters: As you know you can create Tags for your emails accounts and group them, making it easier for you to do bulk actions. Now you can also filter your accounts based on the ones that don't currently have a Tag assigned, this way you can quickly check if any newly added accounts are missing a tag and simply assign them one. 3. Optimized Open Tracking: We’ve just released an update to our open tracking technology that reduces the chances of getting a warning from Google that the "email could be suspicious".?We still strongly recommend sending emails as text-only for improved deliverability, but for those who track Opens, we are improving the algorithm.

I'd have to say it's probably a rare situation where you flood a client with so many leads that they literally start up another department and completely a new entity just to handle all the opportunities you're creating for them. That "deep blue ocean" workflow has made my M&A Client's LinkedIn and cold email outreach scale so much they had to completely re-align how they do business. In the last four weeks, we've produced 79 new opportunities with under 10k emails. To be exact, that is a lead for every 116 emails. These emails were simple and in a two-step sequence: 1 - Straight up a good offer in less than 100 words with spintax 2 - Personalized video using Sendspark (Hey "Watermelon!") What I did for them was IMO a simple workflow using Clay. I scraped Google Maps across the entire United States for an industry they were interested in resulting in ~86k businesses. Enriched via Enrichley and LeadMagic. I also put it through an Ocean.io integration just to make sure I'm covering it all (because why not!?). Had my client record a simple "Hey Watermelon" in a 30 second or less video. Put that all into Instantly.ai. Get a simple HeyReach campaign going using multiple LinkedIn accounts. Then, as Michel Lieben ?? would probably say, SEND IT! PS -- Our entire infrastructure for this client is 50% Instantly.ai DFY Google Inboxes, and the other 50% GoDaddy Outlook inboxes. And we're just getting started! Happy Friday all! ??

How would you feel if a client asked you to slow down your outreach because they couldn't handle more leads? ?? This user knows how it feels, having secured 23 qualified meetings within 1 month ?? Key secrets: - Customized email campaigns: Tailore your email sequences, addressing each prospect's unique pain points and needs. Personalization is key. - Pilot campaigns: Before scaling to mass emails, run several small-scale pilot campaigns to test different messaging, subject lines, and call-to-action strategies.? - Data enrichment: Use waterfall techniques to enrich data and find the best available emails. - Clear messaging: Highlight your unique selling points, making the value proposition clear and compelling. Do you have a similar success story? We'd love to hear it! Please share it in our Facebook group (link in the comment below). ??

Here’s how Instantly supports your entire cold outreach journey, from start to closing clients. Let’s reduce the friction and eliminate the need to switch between tools. Time is precious ? 1) Set up your account and add all your team members. 2) Purchase domains and mailboxes, and get them set up in minutes. 3) Warm up the mailboxes for 2-3 weeks, and continue the warmup during the campaign. In the meantime, build your lead lists using the Lead Finder database. 4)If you use third-party sources to upload leads, verify them directly within the campaigns. 5) Create copy using the AI Sequence Generator and AI prompts to personalize your emails. Add Spintax to make each email unique. 6) Launch your campaigns, monitor deliverability, and switch mailboxes as needed. 7) Connect your CRM and apply the zero-inbox principle for your entire team. Reply to leads ASAP, and assign "not interested" and neutral statuses with AI. Use Salesflows and webhooks to follow up with leads via email and LinkedIn. 8) Add the B2B pixel to collect data and reach out to website visitors via email, LinkedIn, or phone. That’s pretty much the entire outbound flow. What else should we add? Let us know in the comments ??

?? BounceShield just turned 1 year old (+ other deliverability perks) We take email deliverability seriously. That's why we have robust solutions under the hood, although not all of them are promoted publicly. One of these solutions is BounceShield; not many people know that it is enabled automatically to protect your sender reputation. Our system continuously analyzes bounce data in real-time to automatically skip any known high-risk recipients, using insights from our logs and millions of emails sent.? This, along with catch-all email verification, ensures your emails land directly in inboxes. Plus now we automatically pause the campaign if it has too many bounces (new feature). Any thoughts about what we could improve in terms of hitting the inboxes?
