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.

If you're sending 60 emails and not getting a single open I have to first lean on the side of you're not getting good data / emails.

I work at Proxycurl, an Apollo competitor, and would suggest giving us a shot.

That said, here's an article that breaks down how to use our API to generate cold email lists.
