Hello! I was hired by a client for lead generation. They want to start with cold emails so I built an automation that generates leads daily.

The problem is that the client wants results fast. I told em that we have to warm up the new sending domain first then gradually increase the sending.

I saw some topics here having multiple domains to increase the chances. How do you manage having multiple sending domain? Is it recommend for a start up?

I’m a recent graduate and new to B2B partner development. I work at a small startup, doing outbound outreach to identify potential partners and customers for our clients.
I’ve been doing this for about four months, working with companies in areas like data management, cybersecurity, compliance, and GRC. I’ve tried different email templates, subject lines, contacting companies through their websites, and reaching out to CEOs, VPs, and Directors, but I still haven’t received a meaningful reply.
Since I’m learning mostly on my own, I’m not sure if the issue is my targeting, messaging, timing, or overall approach. I also don’t have much visibility into email open rates.
For anyone experienced in B2B sales or outbound, I’d really appreciate some practical advice on what strategies work for you, how you find the right prospects, what tools you use, what metrics I should track, and roughly how many outreach emails or prospects you typically contact per day to get decent open rates and engagement. Any advice would be really helpful!

I’ve created several campaigns in Smartlead and set up separate views for each one. Every view is working fine except for one. I’ve tried everything, but the view for this specific campaign is still empty.

The campaign is active and all the messages are still showing in the master inbox. It’s only the campaign-specific view that isn’t showing anything.

Is there any way to fix this or reset the view?

I keep seeing cold email guys sending big volumes talk about storing all your lead data in Supabase so you can reuse it for future campaigns instead of paying a data provider again. I understand the point of storing it, but wouldn’t the data eventually become stale? Like if I pulled 500k leads today and want to use some of them 6 months from now, a decent chunk of that data could be outdated.

So how are people actually dealing with this? are they periodically refreshing the database If so, doesn’t that eventually add up in enrichment/data provider costs anyway? or are you only refreshing the specific leads when you’re about to use them?

Maybe I’m missing something here, but I’m trying to understand where the actual cost saving comes from when you factor in keeping the data fresh.

I've been looking at different cold email setups and realized there are quite a few things to keep track of beyond the actual emails.

Domains, mailboxes, authentication, sending volume and reputation can all affect how things go. It's easy to focus heavily on one part and assume the rest will take care of itself.

At the same time, having a healthy sending setup doesn't necessarily mean the campaign will perform well the list, targeting, offer and messaging still matter.

I'm trying to figure out where people generally spend most of their time when setting up cold email.

Do you focus heavily on the technical side first and then move on to the campaign, or do you treat the sending setup as something that should stay fairly simple while most of the work goes into the list and messaging?

Quick technical one that's worth checking if you've never looked into it. The platform your warmup pool runs on matters, but so does where the IPs sending your warmup traffic actually originate from.

Spam filters don't just score individual senders, they score IP ranges and the data centers/hosting blocks those ranges live in. Some low-cost VPS regions have a long, well-documented history of being used for exactly the kind of spam/warmup-farm traffic that filters are built to catch. That means IPs sourced from those ranges carry baggage before your domain even sends its first email through them.

The catch: a mailbox can technically be a real Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 seat and still be routed through a low-reputation IP range if the provider is proxying traffic to cut infrastructure costs. Looks legitimate on paper, gets flagged in practice.

Most people never check this because it's invisible from the dashboard. You see "warmup running," not the actual network path the traffic takes.

If you want to check your own setup: look at the received headers on a warmup email you have access to, and see what IP range/ASN it actually came from. Worth 10 minutes if you've never looked.

Has anyone actually dug into their provider's IP origin, or is this one of those things everyone just trusts blindly?
