What to check before you buy
Outreach tools find contacts, send sequences and track replies. They speed up the work and do nothing for a weak pitch.
- Check how the tool finds and verifies email addresses, and what a credit buys.
- Look for sending limits and inbox warm-up, which protect your domain.
- Make sure campaigns, contacts and link status live in one place for the team.
- Price it per seat and per contact at the volume you will really send.
