The Problem

Cold email is broken.
Here's the proof.

Sales teams are bleeding revenue every single day. Spam filters are smarter. Inbox providers are stricter. The old playbook doesn't work anymore.

83%

hit spam folders

83% of emails vanish into spam

You craft the perfect cold email. Hit send to 100 prospects. 15 open it. Maybe 2 reply. The other 83? Gone forever.

2-3%

industry avg reply rate

Reply rates stuck at 2-3%

Your competitors are booking 20 meetings weekly. You're stuck refreshing an empty inbox. The difference? Deliverability.

$97+

per month for less

Paying $97+/month for 60% delivery

Instantly, Lemlist, Smartlead—charging premium prices for mediocre inbox placement. That's not value. That's highway robbery.

62%

is where most tools land

Waking up at 2am worried

Domain reputation tanking. Inbox placement at 62%. No idea what's wrong or how to fix it. The anxiety is real.

Every day you wait costs $500-1,000 in lost pipeline.

The question isn't if you can afford FirstSales. It's if you can afford not to.

The Solution

What makes FirstSales
different

We don't compete on features. We compete on results. Here's what happens when you switch to FirstSales.

87%

87% Inbox Placement

Our smart warm-up, list cleaning, and monitoring deliver 87% average inbox placement—vs. 60-70% industry average.

$828

$828 Saved Per Year

Same features. Better results. $28/mo vs. $97/mo. That's $828 back in your pocket every single year.

FREE

Free List Cleaning

Competitors charge $47/mo extra. We include it free because protecting your domain shouldn't be a premium feature.

The $12,000 Experiment

What we learned testing every major tool.

Before launching FirstSales, we spent $12,000 testing every major cold email platform. Here's what the money taught us.

Instantly.ai

$97/mo

Great UI. Premium price. Mediocre results.

Lemlist

Good personalization. Expensive add-ons.

Cheap base. Expensive everything else.

What We Learned:

All tools promise great deliverability. None deliver 87%.

List cleaning is always an upsell. It should be included.

Real-time monitoring is rare. Most update daily or weekly.

You pay for their marketing, not results. That's why we're different.

Why Competitors Fail

Five reasons most tools don't work.

01

Basic Warm-Up That Gets Detected

They send generic emails that spam filters easily identify as automated.

Our warm-up mimics human behavior—variable timing, realistic engagement, gradual increases.

02

List Cleaning Costs Extra

They charge $47-59/mo for something that should be included.

We clean every list before sending. Free. Always. No upsells.

03

Monitoring Once Per Day

By the time you catch a problem, your domain is already damaged.

We monitor hourly. Catch issues in 2 hours, not 2 weeks.

04

You Pay For Their Marketing

Premium prices to fund their ads, sales team, and office.

We invest in product, not hype. Lower prices. Better results.

05

Setup Takes Hours

SPF, DKIM, DMARC, DNS records—it's a nightmare.

We configure everything automatically in 8 minutes.

The FirstSales Difference

Three pillars. One result.

Everything we do is designed to maximize your inbox placement and protect your domain reputation.

Hidden Costs

The true cost of "cheap" tools.

It's not just about the subscription price. Here's what poor deliverability actually costs you.

Opportunity Cost

You spend 40+ hours/month on deliverability instead of selling

Annual Cost: $60,000+

Inconsistent Publishing

Missing send dates means prospects forget you exist

Annual Cost: Immeasurable

Damaged Brand Reputation

Generic AI-sounding emails hurt your credibility

Annual Cost: Lost revenue

Wasted Ad Spend

Paying for traffic that never sees your emails

Annual Cost: $12,000+

With FirstSales, You Eliminate All Four Hidden Costs

Zero time investment

Consistent sending

Protected brand reputation

Maximum ROI

Decision Time

Three paths forward.
Choose wisely.

You've read the facts. Now it's decision time. Here are your three options.

Keep Doing What You're Doing

Continue with 60-70% inbox placement. Pay $97+/mo. Watch emails vanish into spam. Hope it gets better.

The Outcome:

Burnout, lost deals, competitors winning

Try Generic AI Tools

Use ChatGPT or basic automation. Get generic content that sounds like everyone else. Spend hours fixing deliverability.

The Outcome:

Content that doesn't convert, domains at risk

Best Choice

Start With FirstSales

Smart warm-up, free list cleaning, real-time monitoring. 87% inbox placement. $28/mo. Zero risk.

The Outcome:

3x more replies, protected domain, predictable growth

I Choose Path #3

Join 2,000+ sales teams who chose growth over grind

Now you know why it costs $28.

Five specialized AI agents. Seven AI models. 12 years of cold email expertise. Enterprise infrastructure. Zero manual work. Proven results.

The question isn't "Why does it cost $28?" The question is "How is it only $28?"
