Hi dear people, long story short, I have opened a business last week. Have my own website legal entity everything. I aim to serve ecommerce stores with email marketing sequences (drip campaigns, abandoned cart, onboarding etc.) And newsletters. I have also set up the pricing strategy and everything. My biggest weakness is customer aquisition.

Ironically i started cold emailing businesses already 2 days ago, however out of 60 emails sent, apparently 0 was opened, despite studying best practices for apollo.io and also investing precious time into studying tactics and everything. What would you advise me, how can I aquire my first client. I believe I am very strong at this as I have years of corporate experience doing email marketing in ecom.

TL;DR opened a business as a pro email marketer, but I suck at sales.

Just because you registered a company, doesn't mean you have a business. :)

Did you warm your email domains?

What filters do you apply to get the leads?

What subject line did you use?

I would not recommend using Apollo for sending emails. Use a dedicated sending tool like Smartlead or Instantly.
