Verify the domain has MX, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records in place.
Create a campaign and give it a clear audience-based name.
Upload a CSV with email, first name, company, and any custom fields you plan to use.
Write one initial email plus two follow-ups, preview variables, set a conservative schedule, and launch.
Quality checks

- Use one campaign per audience segment.
- Pause and adjust if bounces or negative replies spike.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Launching before DNS checks finish.
- Using variables that are blank for many leads.
- Sending from brand-new accounts at high daily limits.
