Frequently asked

What's a good reply rate for cold email?

A 1–3% positive reply rate is solid for cold B2B lists; tightly targeted niche lists can run higher. The metric that moves revenue most isn't the reply rate, though — it's replies-to-meetings, which is where fast follow-up changes the math.

How do I calculate cold email ROI?

Work the funnel: prospects × reply rate = replies; replies × meeting rate = meetings; meetings × close rate = deals; deals × average value = revenue. Compare that revenue against your campaign cost (sending tools, lists, time) to get ROI. This calculator does the funnel math for you.

Why does the close rate matter so much?

Because it multiplies through the whole funnel. Doubling your meeting-to-close rate doubles revenue without sending a single extra email. That's why working every reply quickly — instead of letting positive replies cool off — is the highest-leverage improvement in cold email.

What's the biggest lever on cold email revenue?

Speed and persistence of follow-up on positive replies. The same list and copy convert far more meetings when replies are answered in minutes instead of hours. Try doubling the meeting rate in this calculator — the revenue jump shows why the reply, not the send, is where the money is.
