How does ReplyLead work?

ReplyLead is a done-for-you GTM engineering service. We build and operate a private outbound engine for your business - targeting, data, dedicated domains, segmented mailbox infrastructure, deliverability, copy, automation and reply handling - and book qualified meetings onto your calendar. You run the sales calls and close. It runs on a monthly infrastructure fee that pays for the private system, plus a revenue share on the business we help generate and you close.

01
The end-to-end workflow

From a blank slate to a booked meeting.

Fifteen deliberate steps sit between "let's do outbound" and a qualified prospect on your calendar. We run every one of them. Follow the current down the line.

Phase 1 · Strategy & targeting

Step 01

Campaign strategy

The angle, the offer and the plan to reach the market.

1
2

Step 02

ICP & signal definition

Who to target and the buying signals worth acting on.

Step 03

Company & decision-maker targeting

The right accounts, and the right people inside them.

3
Phase 2 · Data & infrastructure build
4

Step 04

Data sourcing & enrichment

Buying, scraping and enriching lists to a verified, send-ready state.

Step 05

Dedicated domain purchasing

Fresh domains bought for you - never shared, never borrowed.

6

Step 06

Mailbox infrastructure setup

Mailboxes provisioned and segmented across three sending systems.

Step 07

Authentication & deliverability

SPF, DKIM and DMARC configured so mail lands in the primary inbox.

8

Step 08

Mailbox warmup

Weeks of reputation-building before your first campaign send.

Phase 3 · Copy, automation & launch

Step 09

Copywriting

Sequences written per prospect from real signals, not merge tags.

Step 10

Automation build

Sequencing, routing and reply logic wired end to end.

Step 11

Testing & launch

Rendered, deliverability-checked, then sent at controlled volume.

Phase 4 · Reply handling & booking
12

Step 12

Reply handling

Every response managed - answered, nurtured, kept warm.

Step 13

Qualification

Real interest separated from noise before it reaches you.

14

Step 14

Meeting booking

Qualified prospects placed directly on your calendar.

The handoff. A qualified meeting lands on your calendar. Everything above this line is ours to build and run. Everything below it is the conversation only you can have.

Phase 5 · You close

Step 15

Sales calls & closing

Discovery, proposal, negotiation and signature - your team, your process, your relationship.

02
The private infrastructure

Why this can't run on your existing setup.

Cold outbound at volume needs sending infrastructure that is bought, isolated, authenticated and warmed - built for one client and one campaign. We buy dedicated domains and fan mailboxes across three systems, because each behaves differently and each protects the others. Density is deliberate.

System A Microsoft yourbrand-mail.com System B Google Workspace yourbrand-team.com System C Dedicated SMTP yourbrand-send.com sending pool

System A

Microsoft / Outlook

~50 mailboxes per domain

Higher density where the platform supports it - many mailboxes on one dedicated domain, provisioned and monitored per client.

System B

Google Workspace

~2-3 mailboxes per domain

Deliberately low density to protect sender reputation - a handful of mailboxes on each domain, so more domains, fewer boxes each.

System C

Dedicated SMTP

purpose-built sending pool

Modern SMTP sending infrastructure for volume, kept separate from the mailbox systems so one never drags down another.

This is why the setup is custom, and why it costs money. None of it is a shared account you can log into. Every domain is bought for you, every mailbox is provisioned and authenticated for you, and every system is warmed for weeks before it sends a single campaign. Segmenting across Microsoft, Google and SMTP isn't decoration - it's how deliverability is protected and how one client's sending never touches another's.

Who owns what

A clean division of labor.

No ambiguity. We own the machine that produces qualified conversations. You own the conversations.

The commercial model

Two parts, and each one earns its place.

A fee builds and runs the private engine. A revenue share aligns us with the outcome. Neither replaces the other.

The infrastructure fee

Builds and runs your private engine

We're not sending a few emails from a tool - we're building and operating a private outbound system for one client, and that carries real cost before a single deal exists.

The fee covers the work and the spend that happen whether or not anyone has closed yet - the same cold email infrastructure and deliverability setup that makes campaigns land:

Dedicated domainsMailbox provisioningInfrastructure segmentationDeliverability setupWarmupData acquisitionAutomation buildTooling & operating cost
The revenue share

Ties our upside to yours

Once the engine is running, our incentive should point at exactly one thing: business you actually win. So the revenue share applies to the business ReplyLead helps generate and you close - not to activity, not to sends.

The fee keeps the private engine built and running. The revenue share makes us a growth partner with skin in the game - motivated to put better meetings in front of you, not just more email into the world.

In one line: the fee is for the machine. The share is for the outcome. That's why "work for free until we close" isn't the model - the machine has to be built and paid for before it can produce anything. See how it plays out on pricing.

Straight answers

The questions worth asking us.

Can we just use your system on our own infrastructure for free until deals close?
No - there's no shared, pre-built system to borrow. Every campaign runs on infrastructure we buy and build for you specifically: dedicated domains, provisioned mailboxes, authentication and weeks of warmup. That's real, up-front cost and labor before a single email sends, which is what the infrastructure fee covers. The revenue share is what ties our upside to yours after the engine exists.
Why is there an infrastructure fee?
Because we're building and operating a private outbound system for one client, not sending from a tool. The fee covers dedicated domains, mailbox provisioning across segmented systems, deliverability configuration, warmup, data acquisition, the automation build, tooling and the setup labor - real costs we carry whether or not a deal has closed yet.
Can we skip the private setup and go faster?
Skipping the setup is skipping the thing that makes outbound land in the inbox. Fresh domains need warmup, authentication has to be configured, and mailboxes have to be segmented across systems. Sending before that is how you burn a domain and a reputation. The build is the reason it works.
Is the infrastructure shared or dedicated?
Dedicated. Your domains and mailboxes are yours, sending only your campaigns. We never pool sending reputation across clients - that's how one bad sender would sink everyone. Isolation is the point.
Do you also close deals?
No. We generate qualified interest and book meetings onto your calendar. You run the sales calls, discovery, proposals and closing. Our revenue share applies to the business we help generate and you close.
Why is the setup custom for each client?
Because your ICP, your signals, your data and your sending reputation are yours alone. The domains carry your brand, the copy speaks to your market, and the reputation being built belongs to your campaigns. A generic, shared setup would dilute all four.
