Subject: saw the Saleshandy team's post on inbox-rotation
Hey Dhruv, saw the Saleshandy team's post on inbox-rotation v3 — the framing on 'price-to-deliverability' is fair.
Solo SDRs on Saleshandy find their reply rate sits around 1-2% on templated cold sends, and the bottleneck is almost always the opener, not the warmup.
We pair with Saleshandy as the writing step: per-prospect 4-sentence opener from IntelSDR, sent through Saleshandy's mailboxes.
Worth 12 minutes Thursday to walk through what a 1-rep agency saw on their first 200-send Saleshandy campaign with IntelSDR-written openers?
