Cover of the Email deliverability checklist guide

The best copy is worthless if your email lands in spam. Deliverability is the most ignored part of prospecting and the one that quietly costs you the most performance.

This checklist gathers, in order, everything you need to take care of so your messages always get through: domain authentication, dedicated mailboxes, a healthy warm-up and a clean list.

Alex Cova
Deliverability isn't magic, it's maintenance. Those who look after authentication, warm up their mailboxes and keep the list clean reach the inbox. Those who don't are writing to no one. It's the checklist we run on every account.
