Replyify Product Review: Automate Cold Email Outreach for Your Business

What is cold email outreach?

Cold email outreach is when an individual or business sends an email to a recipient they have not contacted previously. The business owner intends to build a relationship with potential customers, using a targeted email marketing message to start the conversation. The end goal is to convert the customer to engage with a product or service once they’ve established a relationship.

After analyzing more than 3 million emails in 2018, Prospect.io found 4 main factors that can affect cold email analytics: sending time, subject length, content length, and campaign steps. You can test all of these elements and automate cold email outreach with Replyify.

How does Replyify help in cold email outreach?

Replyify helps expedite the process with GDPR compliant email automation, allowing businesses to set up personalized email campaigns to suit their goals.

Cold email outreach involves a lot of manual work (and time!). All of these steps can be automated, from importing an email list to crafting email messages, sending the emails, and then following up with contacts.

Start for Free

Anyone can get started with Replyify for free for up to 25 active contacts. You can set up email sequences and email reports such as bounce, open, and click-through rates.

Replyify also offers paid plans, with their Starter plan beginning at $19/month for 250 active contacts, and an Enterprise plan beginning at $99/month for unlimited active contacts. An “active” contact is defined as someone who receives an email from you (or any other contact through your Replyify sequence) during a 30-day cycle.

Use a Custom “From Email Address”

Replyify allows you to sign up with any email host – it doesn’t have to be a Gmail account. You can also send from more than one email address by configuring an alias in your account.

You can easily add new contacts by importing a CSV file, adding an individual contact, or importing contacts from Salesforce. Keep in mind that you’ll need to contact the Replyify customer service team to enable Salesforce for your account under a paid plan.

The more targeted information you can include for each contact, the more personalized your cold email outreach will be. The platform supports fields such as first name, last name, company, title, as well as custom contact fields.

Email Automation

Replyify makes it easy to create cold email sequences.

• Set up a campaign
• Create a simple email template with their WYSIWYG editor
• Enter custom fields to your email message, such as the contact’s name and company
• Add a follow-up email to your sequence
• Thread follow-up emails
• Test your sequence internally before it goes live
• Schedule the emails to deploy at a certain time on certain days of the week
• Detect out-of-office messages, and schedule an email to deploy when the potential customer returns to the office
• With the paid plans, you can also conduct A/B testing.

After a certain number of hours or days, you can follow up with another automated email, a phone call, a Tweet, a LinkedIn request, and other reply options.

Reporting

Your dashboard gives you an overview of your active contacts, percentage of converted contacts, emails sent, email replies, opens and clicks. Replyify will automatically stop sending to bounced email addresses.
