You will get Deliverability-First Cold Email Setup in Smartlead & Instantly
Top Rated
Project details
Get your cold email infrastructure set up the right way so you can send campaigns with confidence.
I set up domains with proper authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) and build send-ready inboxes. I connect and configure your Smartlead or Instantly account, initiate warm-up flows, and run quality checks before launch. You’ll receive ready-to-use inboxes, warm-up in motion, and a short demo + documentation so you understand how your system works.
This service helps you avoid spam issues and misconfiguration mistakes, so your cold email efforts start off on the right foot.
Included:
• Domain selection
• DNS authentication
• Inbox setup
• Smartlead/Instantly configuration
• Warm-up initiation
• Pre-launch deliverability testing
• Demo
Why this setup works:
Cold email infrastructure is something I do every week.
I’ve completed hundreds of setup-only projects with 5-star reviews, which allows me to deliver this quickly and reliably without cutting corners.
Because this is a repeatable process, you get a faster setup with fewer mistakes and no guesswork.
Message me with a few details about your setup, and I’ll confirm the best approach before we start.

Fot, Hungary - 12:53 pm local time
I have 8+ years of experience in email marketing and cold outreach, working with US-based agencies and hundreds of B2B companies across different stages and industries.
Some clients come to me for a fast, one-time cold email setup so they can start sending safely.
Others need someone to run and improve their outreach long-term because cold email is a core part of their growth.
I do both.
Cold email works extremely well when it’s done properly. When it isn’t, inboxes burn, replies drop, and teams waste months guessing what went wrong. My job is to make sure cold email is reliable, scalable, and worth the effort.
What I help with
- Quick, one-time cold email setups (domains, inboxes, warm-up, tools)
- Email deliverability and infrastructure (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, warm-up)
- Cold email campaigns and ongoing management
- Lead lists, data enrichment, targeting, and campaign structure (Clay, Apollo)
- Personalized cold email copy and sequences
- Scaling safely without damaging sender reputation
How I usually work
- If you need a simple setup, I’ll configure everything cleanly so you can send without worrying about deliverability.
- If you need ongoing support, I manage campaigns over time, A-B testing, adjusting targeting, copy, and infrastructure as volume grows, so results stay consistent.
- In both cases, I focus on clear communication, practical decisions, and systems that don’t fall apart after a few weeks.
Proof this works
✔️ Built cold email systems for 300+ companies
✔️ 20k+ positive replies and qualified leads generated across campaigns
✔️ Consistent 5-star ratings on setup, deliverability, and campaign management

I’m currently offering FREE cold email consultations.
If you want a second opinion on your setup, campaigns, or next steps, message me, and we’ll review it together.
