    Frequently Asked Questions

    What's a good response rate for cold outreach?

    15-25% is solid for cold outreach. Above 30% is excellent. Below 10% means your targeting or messaging needs work.

    Why am I getting responses but they're all "not interested"?

    This indicates targeting issues. You're reaching people, but they're not the right fit. Refine your search criteria or verify profiles more carefully before messaging.

    How often should I track these metrics?

    Weekly for active campaigns. Calculate after every 50-100 emails to spot trends early and make adjustments.

    Should I count "thanks but no thanks" as a response?

    Yes, count it in total responses but not positive responses. It shows your message was seen, which is valuable data.
