Repurposing marketing tools like Kit for cold outbound often leads to spam folders and account suspensions. Here’s how to build a sequence on a proper infrastructure foundation.
Marketing automation tools are not built for cold outbound infrastructure.
Safe sequences require multiple domains, inbox rotation, and continuous warmup.
Effective outbound is multi-channel, blending email and LinkedIn steps.
You have a list of leads and need to build an automated email sequence. Many teams default to tools they already use, like marketing automation platforms or simple CRMs, to get the job done.
But these platforms are built for opt-in marketing, not cold outbound. Using them for cold email is like trying to race a minivan; the underlying infrastructure will fail, tanking your domain reputation and ensuring your emails never get seen.
When you try to run cold outreach from a platform not designed for it, the system breaks down in predictable ways. It’s not a matter of 'if', but 'when'.
A properly executed outbound sequence runs on an infrastructure layer that protects your reputation and maximizes deliverability. Instead of worrying about spam filters, your team focuses on writing good copy and talking to prospects.
In this state, sequences aren't tied to a single inbox. They are distributed across a pool of dozens of warmed-up inboxes, each sending a low, safe volume of emails per day. LinkedIn steps are automatically interleaved with emails—a profile view happens on day 1, an email on day 2, a connection request on day 4. You have a clear, real-time view of deliverability metrics for each individual inbox, so you can spot and fix problems before they affect the entire campaign. This creates predictable, scalable pipeline without putting your domain assets at risk.
Setting up a resilient sequence requires thinking like an infrastructure operator, not just a marketer. The focus is on building a stable foundation first.
SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records correctly for each one. This is non-negotiable.Managing this manually is operational chaos. Juggling spreadsheets, dozens of logins, and manual sending schedules isn't scalable and leads to mistakes that kill deliverability.
This is where an infrastructure-first platform becomes the execution layer. It centralizes control over all your domains and inboxes, automates the warmup process, orchestrates the multi-channel sequence, and automatically rotates sending to stay within safe limits. A unified inbox consolidates replies from all your sending accounts, so reps can manage conversations in one place.
