Cold Email Warmup Strategy
Simple step-by-step to warm up your email account
1
Verify Your Email List
Bounce rate will kill your sending reputation quicker than you can blink.
2
Check SPF/DKIM/DMARC Records
Without these domain records, and sending cold emails - you're sure to get blocked. Make sure these are in place to raise your reputation.
3
Warm Up Your Email Address
Gradually start sending personalized emails until you've sent enough reputation signals to add cold outreach to the sending mix.

Verify Your Email List
Bounce rate is the number of invalid emails you send to. The higher your bounce rate, the worse your deliverability will be.

Check your SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records
SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are the three security mechanisms that protect you from hackers, phishers, and help to avoid spam. ISPs treat these seriously, so before you start using your new email account for campaign sending, you need to set them up.

Warm Up Your Email Address
Send manual emails to your friends and peers at first to be sure they get opened and answered.
Ask your friends to open your emails, mark them "not spam" in case the email was delivered to their Spam folder, and reply to you. Try to send to different email hosting providers, such as Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, etc.
Week 1: 25 emails/day
Week 2: 50 emails/day
Week 3: 75 emails/day
Week 4: 100 emails/day
Or, automate the entire process with ProspectingToolkit.
