Personalized from the company + team. Add the contact, pick an angle, then fire it straight from your Gmail — personal + one-at-a-time is what keeps you out of spam.

📬 Stay out of spam

You're a small team, not a marketing firm — lean into that. These keep your emails landing in real inboxes:

• Send from your real Gmail, one at a time (that's what "Open in Gmail" does). No bulk SMTP blasters — that's what actually gets flagged.
• Personalize every one — a real contact name + a specific line about their company. Generic = spam signal.
• No attachments on the first email. Offer the packet; send it after they reply.
• Keep links minimal (one at most). Lots of links + images trips filters.
• Small batches — 10–15 a day, spaced out, not 200 at once.
• Use a real subject, not ALL CAPS or "FREE!!!". Plain and human wins.
• Reply-to a monitored inbox and actually reply fast — engagement boosts your sender reputation.
• If you ever DO go bigger later: a real sending domain with SPF + DKIM + DMARC set up. We'll do that when you outgrow Gmail.
