Workflow Steps
1
Pick sender platform: Instantly or Smartlead at entry tier
$30-47/mo Instantly Growth or $39/mo Smartlead Basic.
2
Set up sender domain warmup discipline
2-4 weeks warmup before high-volume sends. Sender reputation > tool brand.
3
Build target list with niche filters
B2B contact database (Instantly lead-gen plan) or your own scrape.
4
Per-prospect Scavio research
Site latest news + AI Overview on the company + Reddit signal.
5
Generate hyper-niched opening lines per prospect
LLM with research context produces 1-2 specific openers.
6
Send + measure: open, reply, reply quality
First 200 sends per sender; track quality not just open rates.
