Mailshake — A simple and easy to use solution for cold emails

Thanks for hunting us @bramk ! @colnmathews @bobsenoff and I are all very excited to be Product Hunt today. Mailshake officially launched in Dec 2016 and over the last 7 months has grown to nearly 10k customers with 10.8 million emails sent.. but we started off as a marketing tool called ContentMarketer.io and in late 2015 we launched a simple tool to easily send cold emails called Connector. In the first 30 days, the usage of Connector passed our main product and within 90 days, revenue and daily usage passed our main product..that's when we knew we had something. We doubled down to build v2.0, ditched our other product and brought on @bobsenoff as a partner to help on the business side. While Colin was building v2.0, I went to town interviewing Connector customers and talking to our competitor's customers. Two things that always struck out to me during those chats. Sales professionals & marketers (or our ideal customers) wanted something simple and easy to use.. and everything people described seemed difficult or complicated. It was during an interview with a customer who ran a large sales organization that I had my "aha" moment. He told me that he loved Connector because he didn't have to train his employees. He gave them login and they figured it out on their own. That stuck with me and those two things are engrained in our company. Simple & easy to use. SIMPLE sounds easy but it's f'ing hard. "Easy to use" sound so simple but it's really complicated. I'd love any and all feedback :) P.S. the cold email that started it all Hugs & Kisses, Sujan Patel

Together with @colinmathews and @bobsenoff, my buddy @sujanpatel has developed, what I think, is the easiest to use cold email tool I've ever seen. Lots of templates, using your Gmail, Zapier integration and much more. A must for anyone who sends out cold emails on a regular basis. 🖖

Congrats on the release and cool tool. Do followups get disabled automatically if the lead responds?

Thanks @bramk for hunting us! Hey guys, Colin here, dev behind Mailshake. This is a really exciting day for us. Thanks in no small way to the PH community, we get to share the culmination of a very organic evolution of work. Last year we shared an app with you called Connector which was an experiment born out of feedback from an even earlier product. We got great feedback here on PH, and Connector took off right away as a super simple email outreach tool. We immediately started working on Mailshake as it successor so we could create something truly on point, beautiful, and easy to use. Mailshake is the easiest-to-use cold email outreach tool out there. Mailshake works with any Gmail/G Suite account (you can use other services if you have a Gmail alias) and you can integrate with us via Zapier. We’ll be around all day answering questions and listening to your feedback!

We use Mailshake at GrowthScore.io and it's kick-ass. Keep up the good work @sujanpatel

Thanks @bramk. We appreciate the recommendation and are glad to answer any questions.

We use mailshake for our outbound strategy and works like charm! Keep up the great work guys 🙃

Simple, effective and VERY profitable tool. Good job!

I've been an avid Mailshake user for a while now (since it was named Content Marketer). :) The product has evolved a lot: both on the stability and UX part. A couple of weeks ago they introduced Custom Tracking Domain (http://docs.mailshake.com/articl...) that hugely improves deliverability.

First off - contrary to what the sole negative reviewer Kamil says - the price is excellent. I'm pretty sure my Netflix subscription costs more than Mailshake. Not sure what his beef is, but Mailshake is a drop in the bucket and quite frankly should cost a lot more for what it offers.

It's got every feature I need, and is incredibly easy to use. Tracking, autoreplies, liquid form fills. Great support too, and they always seem to be adding features.

Pros:

Super simple and easy to use. Highly intuitive.

Cons:

None really

@colinmathews has been making great stuff for a long time and he's one of the most talented and tireless people I know. Colin and the entire team have invested tons of time in Mailshake to make it super useful for well crafted cold emails. Go get it.

I spotted Mailshake a couple months back and have been planning to test this out once we kick into full sales mode. In sales we're looking for a CRM to help do the heavy lifting for us, whilst making each email personal. It seems Mailshake's a good candidate here, as we can have a few base templates, then edit each with personal touches based on individual research before sending. For me that's Mailshake's greatest strength is when used to enable personal, genuine cold emails and not simply automated fake seemingly-personal cold emails. Helping me personally reach out to people is great, but automated fake-personal mass mailing isn't for me.

Can't believe this wasn't hunted already! Best cold outreach service I know.

I do A LOT of influencer outreach for original contributions at a host of publications. Mailshake dramatically simplifies the process and makes organizing my efforts and lists — as well as tracking responses and follow ups — far more effective than what I used to do with Gmail, Outlook, and Excel.

Pros:

BRILLIANT for simplifying and organizing influencer outreach …

Cons:

Integration with Google Drive

This one always gets my vote ;) Sales, Pitches, Outreach, everything-email. No competition here. Great stuff.

I love Mailshake, its downright epic.

Congrats on the PH launch @sujanpatel @colinmathews @bobsenoff!! Been using Mailshake for the past 6 months. It's killer tool, super easy-to-use and as powerful as others 5x the price. Deliverability is great and flexible enough to help manage more than just cold outreach. A must have in any SaaS marketing/sales stack 🙌

Nice hustle, great story, and awesome product! 💪🏼

MailShake is a fantastic tool. It's probably the easiest to use email outreach automation tool on the market, period. And you can't beat the price.

Simple, easy to use tool for email outreach. Doesn't try to 'take over' your inbox/workflow like other products do. I'm a fan!
