Quality over quantity. A well-researched, personalized email to 50 relevant prospects beats 500 generic emails. Aim for 20-30% open rates and 5-10% response rates.
For scale, yes. Manual Gmail outreach works for small campaigns, but tools help with finding emails, personalizing at scale, and tracking responses efficiently.
Warm up your domain, personalize each email, avoid spam trigger words, limit daily sends, and use proper authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC). Tools like Lemlist include warm-up.
