COLD EMAIL SYSTEM SETUP

Your cold email machine. Built right. Handed off.

We build your entire cold email infrastructure — domains, mailboxes, sequences, and your first 1,000 verified leads — then hand it off to you fully configured and ready to send.

One-time fee: $1,497

First month of all ongoing costs included.

Get Started

THE PROBLEM

Most cold email systems fail before they send a single email.

Wrong infrastructure

Most people use their main domain. One spam complaint and their entire business email reputation is damaged. The technical setup — domains, DNS, warmup — is where most systems fail before they even start.

Generic sequences

Templates pulled from the internet. No understanding of the ICP. Emails that get deleted instantly because they feel mass-produced and impersonal.

No leads to send to

The system is built but there is no list. Sourcing, verifying, and matching leads to an ICP is a job in itself — and most people skip it or do it wrong.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

Everything you need to start sending on day one.

Sending domains

We purchase 2-3 dedicated sending domains on Namecheap. These protect your main domain’s reputation.

Google Workspace or Microsoft 365

2 mailboxes per domain, fully configured with professional sender names. You choose the provider.

DNS authentication

SPF, DKIM, and DMARC configured correctly on every domain. This keeps your emails out of spam.

Instantly setup

Your Instantly account created and configured. All mailboxes connected. Ready to send.

Inbox warmup

Warmup initiated on all mailboxes immediately. Builds sender reputation before you send a single real email.

3-email outreach sequence

Written specifically for your offer and ICP. Hook email, follow-up, and final bump with subject line options.

First 1,000 verified leads

Sourced from Apollo and matched to your ICP. Verified email addresses. Uploaded and ready in your campaign.

Exceedingly Lab access

First month free. Your ongoing cold email command center for sequences, ICP refinement, and reply templates.

Delivered within 5 business days of payment.

HOW IT WORKS

Why sending domains matter — and how we size your system.

We never use your main domain for cold email. If a sending domain gets flagged or blacklisted, your main domain — and your business email — stays completely clean. We build a separate infrastructure that operates independently.

Each mailbox can send approximately 30 emails per day. We use one domain per three mailboxes to maintain healthy deliverability. The more mailboxes you have, the faster you can work through your lead list.

The starter setup (6 mailboxes / 3 domains) is right for most businesses getting started. You can add mailboxes at any time.

STARTER

6 mailboxes / 3 domains

~180 emails/day

GROWTH

12 mailboxes / 6 domains

~360 emails/day

SCALE

20 mailboxes / 10 domains

~600 emails/day

Your mailbox count is chosen during the order process. $10/mailbox/month after the first included month.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Everything you need to know.

Why can’t I just use my main domain?

Your main domain carries your business email reputation. If a sending domain gets flagged or blacklisted, it can damage your ability to send normal business emails. We use separate sending domains specifically to protect your primary domain from any deliverability risk.

What is inbox warmup and why does it matter?

Inbox warmup is the process of gradually increasing email volume from a new mailbox to build sender reputation with email providers. Skipping warmup is the most common reason cold email systems land in spam. We initiate warmup immediately — your mailboxes spend 2 to 4 weeks building reputation before your real campaigns go live.

What does “verified leads” mean?

We source contacts from Apollo that match your ICP and run them through email verification to confirm the addresses are active and deliverable. Sending to unverified emails damages your sender reputation and wastes your sending capacity.

Do I need any technical knowledge to run this after setup?

No. We hand off a fully configured system with a walkthrough of how to operate it. Exceedingly Lab guides you through writing sequences, refining your targeting, and handling replies. No technical expertise required.

What ongoing costs will I have?

From month two: $97/month to Exceedingly for Lab access, $10/mailbox/month for mailbox hosting, and $47/month direct to Instantly. At the starter tier (6 mailboxes) that is $204/month total.

Can I add more mailboxes after setup?

Yes. Additional mailboxes can be added at any time at $10/mailbox/month. Each new mailbox goes through a warmup period before being added to active campaigns.

How long does setup take?

5 business days from payment. You will receive a confirmation email when setup is complete, along with your Exceedingly Lab access and a walkthrough of the system.

What if I already have an Instantly account?

No problem. During the order process you can select “I already have an Instantly account” and we will connect your new mailboxes to your existing account.
