Cold Email Setup & Deliverability | Instantly, M365, B2B Lead Research
Cold emails landing in spam, Outlook blocking your sends, or lists bouncing before the first campaign? I set up and fix cold email systems - domains, Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 mailboxes, SPF/DKIM/DMARC, warmup, Instantly - and build the verified lists that go into them. Fixed price, fully async. 10 years on Upwork, 115 jobs, $100K+ earned, 9,600+ hours, Top Rated, 100% Job Success. WHAT I DO Deliverability audit and spam fixes. DNS and authentication, blacklists, inbox placement in Gmail and Outlook, mailbox and sending settings. You get a written report with a ranked fix list - and the fixes, if you want them done. Cold email infrastructure. Secondary domains so your main domain stays safe, Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 mailboxes, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, custom tracking domain, warmup in Instantly or Snovio. Setup takes 3-5 days, then 3-4 weeks of warmup before real volume. Skipping warmup is the most common reason new setups land in spam. Decision-maker and owner research. The contacts that don't come out of a database export: business owners for acquisition buyers, the people who actually buy inside retail and telecom groups, decision-makers in niche industries. Each contact is researched by hand across Sales Navigator, Apollo and company websites, comes with a source and a note on why it fits, and every email is verified before delivery. Bounce under 5%, priced per verified contact. Recent work: owner emails for an acquisition buyer in California HVAC and plumbing, and decision-makers in 5 regions across Europe and Africa. Ongoing send-ops for agencies and marketing teams. List building and verification, campaign setup, inbox health, launches, monitoring and weekly written reports. You keep strategy and copy. CRM data cleanup. Deduplication, field standardization and enrichment for HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive and Zoho. HOW I WORK Send me your sending domain or your ICP - within 24 hours you get a plan, timeline and fixed price. Quality is confirmed before the full scope: a paid pilot of 20-50 contacts or one test domain first. No calls - scope, updates and decisions stay in writing, so nothing gets lost. TOOLS Sending: Instantly, Snovio, Smartlead. Infrastructure: Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Namecheap, Google Postmaster Tools. Sourcing: Sales Navigator, Apollo, Hunter, RocketReach.
