Manual cold emailing does not scale. Automated email outreach lets you reach hundreds of prospects with personalized messages while you focus on closing deals. Here is how it works.
How Automated Outreach Works
- Build prospect list - Companies and contacts matching your ICP
- Create email sequences - Initial email plus 2-4 follow-ups
- Personalize at scale - Dynamic fields beyond just name
- Schedule sending - Optimal times, avoid weekends
- Track engagement - Opens, clicks, replies
- Handle replies - Human takes over for conversations
Best Practices
- Quality over quantity - Targeted lists beat mass blasts
- Genuine personalization - Reference specific details about the prospect
- Clear value proposition - Why should they care?
- Single call-to-action - One ask per email
- Professional signature - Real name, company, contact info
- Easy opt-out - Respect preferences

Compliance Considerations
Singapore has laws around electronic communications:
- PDPA - Personal data must be handled properly
- Do Not Call Registry - Applies to calls, not emails to businesses
- Spam Act - Commercial emails need identification and opt-out
B2B outreach to work emails is generally acceptable if professional and relevant.
Automated email outreach is effective when done right - targeted, personalized, and value-focused. Avoid spray-and-pray tactics that damage your reputation.
