Looking for a stylish, powerful cold email sending tool with a great UX? Woodpecker has you covered.

I've personally used this tool to send several thousand emails. Both the features and lack of features it brings to the task of prospecting leads are what makes it so great and satisfying to use.

Uploading email lists and scheduling emails is a breeze. You get visual analytics, performance scores and you are able to categorize your email recipients by actions, in addition to the automatic categorizations Woodpecker provides.

This is not an exclusive feature, but something I have enjoyed is the ability to automatically stop sending emails in a sequence once an email recipient has replied to an email. That's when it's time for you to jump at the opportunity to build a relationship with direct emails outside of a tool like this.

Who is this for?

• Software Houses
• SaaS Businesses
• Marketing & Lead Gen Agencies

Now, imagine you've just gathered together 2000 highly relevant emails using FindThatLead and you're ready to blast out a series of emails and start selling that product that you know people are excited about.

Using an autoresponder like Mailchimp or Aweber you would quickly run into CAN-SPAM restrictions (find the law here) that could threaten to hurt the deliverability of your campaign.

But with Find That Lead, your gmail account will do the work, and gmail has the best deliverability out there. What's better, you can find your leads and create email campaigns to deliver them all in the same interface!

JetBuzz as one of the new kids on the block, is out to impress with their clean, LinkedIn focused approach to cold email prospecting. (Want classic automation tools? find them here...)

To be honest, I haven't been inside JetBuzz, but I have used a couple of similar tools like Leonard. It appears to be a LinkedIn prospecting and messaging tool that works exclusively inside LinkedIn The danger and the potential advantage of tools like these is that they sometimes violate LinkedIn TOS, giving you a unique advantage in connecting and getting in front of potential business leads fastest and most frequently.

If that sounds like something that interests you, visit their website, check out their pricing, but be sure to take advantage of their 7 day free trial!

Lemlist 👍

Lemlist might not be the most established player in the cold email sending software arena, but it certainly is one of, if not THE funnest of them around. I absolutely love this platform for it's no nonsense setup path, to it's willingness to remain fun in the business world.

Too many companies feel the pressure to present an authoritative facade. Lemlist has the confidence to create a fun brand with a solid product.

How does it work?

The process is simple:

• Start off by naming your campaign.
• Add your campaign recipients .csv upload or from another list.
• Write your messages (be sure to add personalization variables) and assign them to the campaign.
• Schedule each email to create the perfect timing and email volume for your leads.
• Add your signature, personalized videos and gifs to level up your emails above the competition.

Does sending a large volume of emails to a large number of subscribers for as cheaply and conveniently as possible sound like something you could get used to?

Email Octopus is very transparent about their not so secret sauce: They take advantage of dirt cheap send rates via Amazon SES by asking you to create a managed account for them in your AWS account. By letting Amazon be the SMTP provider, Email Octopus simplifies their service and reduces your costs.

Thanks to this strategy, Email Octopus is FREE up to 2500 subscribers!

Are there any CONS?

This tool IS NOT for beginners who are not ready to learn. Email Octopus DOES provides email automation software, including -
• List Management
• Campaign Creation
• Automations
• Email Template Storage and Use

Email Octopus DOES NOT provide:
• Email Templates (You must import your own HTML templates)

Set Up:
• Create an Amazon AWS account
• Integrate Email Octopus with Amazon SES (they provide instructions)
• Configure your Amazon SES instance, including domain and email verification
• Activate multi-factor verification and user permissions

If this is something you'd love to geek out on, sign up for Email Octopus now!
