Improve cold email deliverability: a practical guide

Deliverability depends on reputation, content, and consistency. If one fails, inbox rate drops.

1. Control bounces

Keeping bounces below 2% is baseline. If it rises, pause and clean the list.

2. Continuous warmup

Do not turn it off when you start selling. Warmup sustains reputation.

3. Adjust volume per domain

If inbox rate drops, reduce volume and recover reputation before scaling again.

4. Review sensitive content

Reduce links, avoid risky words, and use a clear CTA.

Quick checklist

  • Bounces < 2%
  • Continuous warmup
  • Per-domain volume
  • Low-risk copy
