All happening at the @growthschoolio's guest lecture on SEO.
Always think about scaling and when it comes to scaling just use a tool.
As seen on:
Do you ever wonder why Your Open Rates Suck?…
No… it’s not just your cheesy subject lines involving the cast of “Friends” (although, we will have a conversation about this soon!) 👀
On average, more than 23% of all cold outreaching emails go directly into the Spam folder. This means that potentially one in every 5 or 4 of your prospects are not even seeing your emails, let alone read them…
There is one single reason for this issue, and it is made up of two words:
Sender Reputation
So what exactly is Sender Reputation?
This is the biggest open secret in the email marketing world. Email Service Providers (aka ESPs) like Google, Outlook, Yahoo, and iCloud are constantly sharing information about “bad actors” in their networks as they receive emails and put them through “spam filters”.
This information is compiled into a number score, and it is attached to your Domain Name, IP Addresses, Email IDs, and even your Email Content.
This information is compiled into a number score, and it is attached to your Domain Name, IP Addresses, Email IDs, and even your Email Content.
This number is called your “Sender Score”… Think of it like a Credit Rating, and much like a Credit Rating, it will determine whether the Email Companies will do business with you or not (ie: allow your emails to land in their customer’s inboxes).
This number itself is secret though, they will not tell you what it is, and you will only know by their behavior when it comes to your emails as soon as it hits their servers.
So how do you know if you have a bad Sender Reputation?
Your email service provider bans your or suspends your account. They know when your reputation has taken a big hit and they don’t want to associate with it
Less than 10% of your emails are being opened, and you can’t start any conversations with leads.
Your emails are getting bounced. Whether it’s soft or hard bounces, this is a high indicator of a poor Sender Reputation
You’re put on a blacklist and get back into blacklists constantly after trying to delist.
At this point, you may be thinking that sender reputation and spam filters are the villains here… but actually… when it comes to Cold Email Outreach… Spam Filters are your friends.
They help you weed out the spammers and if you’re sending legit cold email outreaching the right way, they will allow you to enter the Inbox and enjoy high deliverability rates that lead to more conversations, and eventually… more sales!
... wait… What?
Spam Filters are like the bouncers at a club… they will only let in the people that are on the VIP list, or those who they can quickly judge if they belong in the Inbox.
So how do you give your emails some Clout and get into that sweet VIP list of allowed senders that can get into the Inbox?

Here’s something else nobody is telling you about Email Warm Up…
It can end up hurting your Sender Reputation if it’s not done correctly.
But how can you accidentally mess up Email Warm Up?
Here’s the truth: If you are sending Cold Emails… (or really, any type of email en-masse), you are using up your daily sending limits and triggering those hidden “Sender Score” points every day.
If your Email Warm Up Tool is not connected properly to all of your email activity, including the cold email outreaching part of it… then it can accidentally send more emails every day than you are supposed to… this is known as “oversending” – and it is the #1 reason new email addresses get auto-banned by ESPs like Google Workspace and Outlook 365.
This is why you want to use a fully integrated system when you’re doing Cold Email Outreaching while trying to have a High Sender Reputation, like FirstSales.
FirstSales is designed to protect your Sender Reputation and Email Campaigns.
Here are the 3 Factors to build a High Sender Reputation, and how FirstSales helps eliminate the risk of getting spam flagged with modern features that make sense:
High Rep Factor #1:
Use Authoritative ESPs like Google Workspace.
Not all Email Service Providers (ESPs) are created equal. There are certain advantages to using authoritative ESPs like Google Workspace (formerly GSuite) and Microsoft Outlook:
- Google Workspace is a great way to get all of the features of Gmail, but with your organization’s domain name. You can use Google Workspace to send emails through Google servers with High Authority using your own brand.
The same goes for Microfot Outlook, and both of these options are easily and natively integrated with FirstSales.
You can use an unlimited number of G-Workspace and Outlook accounts and even mix and match within FirstSales Cold Email and Warm Up Tool.
- They handle blacklisting problems with their IPs automatically and use a pool of IP Addresses with High Reputation. Since FirstSales uses a native integration with both Google Workspace and Outlook, you will enjoy the automatic shifting of high-authority IP Address pools they provide.
FirstSale’s smart Warm Up Tool also leverages the power of precision scheduling to elevate the possibility of using a fresh IP every 10-15 emails.
- They handle email issues in-house for emails that fall within their own mail servers. According to the latest studies by Litmus, in 2021, Gmail accounted for 75% of all email opens. Yahoo mail follows at #2 and Outlook rounds up the top 3.
What does that mean?
If you’re sending an email to someone, there’s an extremely high chance it will be part of Google’s internal mail ecosystem. Google Workspace is the premium offering of GMail for professionals, so it’s reasonable to deduct they will help with deliverability without penalizing you for small slip-ups.
FirstSales understands Google Workspace limits and learns from its mail server behaviors while handling thousands of emails per second every single day. Be on the inside delivering emails to inboxes, don’t be on the outside landing in spam.
High Rep Factor #2:
Mitigate the effects of negative score triggers.
Your Sender Reputation can be destroyed due to numerous problems, the main ones are:
- Soft Bounces: Your emails are temporarily undeliverable due to the recipient’s side. This can range from their mailbox being full to their mail servers being offline or the email content being too large for their server to handle.
- Hard Bounces: Your email is permanently undeliverable, and this one is probably your fault. 👀
Hard Bounces generally means you have a non-existing email address, or there was a misspelling in the address or domain name of the recipient.
- Getting Blacklisted: You can end up on a blacklist for spamming or getting too many unsubscribes in a short period of time. There are a few things that can be blacklisted, and that includes your Domain Name, IP Address, or Host.
Fortunately, FirstSale’s Email Warmup is unlike anything else in the market.
While the goal of every Email Warmup Tool is to allow you to send more and more emails per day from the same account as your domain ages… our Email Warmup tool comes with a complete focus on sending the right signals to Email Service Providers (ESPs) like Google, Outlook, Yahoo and iCloud about your email account being used by a human, interacting with other humans.
How is this done? – Glad you asked!
Our Email Warmup Tool leverages an already High Sender Reputation Network (HSRN) of email addresses that are sending and receiving hundreds of emails per day, and it uses AI to write meaningful conversations back and forth between them… automatically, in the background, without you doing anything.
All you need to do is activate Email Warmup on any of your sending accounts at First Sales (literally one click) – and voila!
Your email address will enter the network of elite email senders, automatically have conversations at appropriate times based on timezones and hot activity times for certain regions, AND it will use a proprietary algorithm to keep your emails out of the spam folder, into the inbox and even mark them as “important” or “starred” when appropriate.
But that’s not all…
FirstSales also allows you to add unlimited sending domains, sending accounts, and tracking domains. You can then use any combination of these to distribute your email sending activity (and thus, distribute any NEGATIVE effects that may arise) to help you keep your Sender Reputation as clean as possible.
If you’re sending Cold Emails for Outreaching, this is a game-changer.
High Rep Factor #3:
Use proper Authentication and Follow Best Practices.
The Domain Name System, aka DNS, is a hard concept to grasp in and of itself… and then you’re expected to remember what DKIM, SPF, and DMARC are?
Nope!
FirstSales’ advanced DNS detection and protection shield you from sending emails that are not properly authenticated. You literally cannot force FirstSales to send an email that is not properly authenticated.
With our advanced DNS Shield, your DNS entries for email sending domains are checked periodically by FirstSales, all day, every day.
You do not need to wonder if you’re missing a DNS entry or if you’ve accidentally put the wrong entries in one of your domains. DNS Shield works 24/7 and will alert you of any changes that may impact your authentication and deliverability.
Here’s what DNS Shield is doing for you while you sleep like a baby:
- Checks your Sender Policy Framework (SPF) Records to make sure your IP Addresses and Hostnames are authorized to send emails from your domains. If this sounds like a foreign language to you, rest easy knowing the green checkmark means you’re good to go! 👍
- Protects you from spammers and bad actors trying to impersonate your domain by helping you draft and enforce DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) policies.
All email addresses have a domain — the part of the address after the “@” symbol. Spammers and attackers may try to impersonate a domain when sending emails to carry out phishing attacks or other scams.
DNS Shield can help you identify and rectify issues with your DKIM authentication so that you are protected from bad actors 24/7/365.
- While SPF and DKIM are there for your protection, there is only one way to tell receiving email servers what they should do with this information: DMARC Records.
Having the wrong DMARC Records can result in your emails bouncing at the receiving mail servers, so DNS Shield was built to automatically generate proper DMARC Records for you to literally copy and paste into your DNS system, then you’re good to go! 📨
