Do I need to upload a list of contacts?

No. You paste your website and the agent finds matching companies and decision-makers itself, verifying each email address before anything is sent.

Does it send from my own domain?

Today, yes: you connect your own mailbox, and Pipestork ramps it up slowly (5 to 35 emails a day over about 18 days) to protect your domain. Managed lookalike domains, which keep complaints away from your real domain, are available by invitation.

Prepaid credits, no subscription. Sending an email costs about $0.03 and verifying a contact about $0.01. New accounts start with $30 in credits.

Is cold email legal in the EU?

Business-to-business outreach is permitted in most EU countries under legitimate interest, provided the message is relevant to the recipient's role and opting out is easy. Pipestork includes a one-click unsubscribe and a postal address in every email, and blocks countries that require prior consent, including Germany, Austria, Italy and Switzerland.

How to write B2B cold emails that get replies

Short answer

Cold emails get replies when the first line proves you looked at the recipient's company, the reason for writing is something specific and recent rather than your product category, the ask is small enough to answer in one line, and every follow-up adds a new reason rather than repeating the first email.

Start from a reason, not a product

Most cold email fails in the first sentence because it is about the sender. The recipient is asking one question: why me, why now? A reason that answers both is something that happened at their company recently and that your product is relevant to: a job posting, a new office, a product launch, a change in leadership, a page on their site that describes a problem you solve.

A reason like that is checkable. The recipient can see you did not send the same sentence to five thousand people, and that is what earns the second sentence.

Keep the email short and the ask small

A first email that works is usually under 100 words: the reason, one sentence on what you do about it, one line of proof from a similar company, and a question. The question should be easy to answer: “Worth a look?” or “Is this on your radar this quarter?” beats a request for a 30-minute demo with a stranger.

Write to the person who owns the problem

The most senior title is rarely the right one. The person who owns the budget line and feels the problem daily replies more often than the executive above them, who forwards cold email down without context, or not at all.

Follow-ups that add something

A three-step sequence in the same thread is enough for most markets. Each step should earn its place:

+Step one: the reason, what you do about it, a small ask.
+Step two, a few days later: a different angle: a short example, a number, a relevant case.
+Step three: a polite close that makes it easy to say no or point you to the right person.

What reliably fails

Some patterns are so common that recipients filter them out on sight:

+Opening with your company name or a compliment that could apply to anyone.
+“I noticed you use [tool]” from a technographic database everyone else also bought.
+Attachments and multiple links in a first email, which hurt deliverability as much as attention.
+Follow-ups that only say “bumping this to the top of your inbox”.

How Pipestork does it

Pipestork's agents read each prospect's website, careers and news pages before writing, so the reason in the first line is specific to that company. Each prospect gets a three-step sequence written for them, every factual claim is checked against what the agent actually found, and the first campaign only launches after you have reviewed it.

Have the agents do this for you

Pipestork researches your market from your website, finds verified decision-makers, writes a sequence per prospect and sends it with conservative limits, so you can apply everything on this page without doing it by hand.
