06: Cold email marketing platforms (and GDPR)
Did you know that there’s a whole category of SaaS products for initiating cold email marketing sequences that isn’t Customer Relationship Management (CRM)?
In this episode, I discuss:
- Self-hosted vs SaaS CRM and my recent attempt to find a cloud CRM with a powerful automation builder like Zoho (see my reviews of Zoho, Salesmate, and AgileCRM on my personal blog here).
- Why cold emailing platforms / sales automation tools are better tools to manage the heavy-lifting of cold prospecting.
- Some typical features of such platforms: prospect importing, template development, cadence/drip email campaign buildling, automated follow-ups.
- GDPR and cold email marketing: some best-practices; the storage limitation; explaining your legitimate purpose; unsubscribe and opt-out links.
