I love the fact the software "cleans" the email addresses of the prospects that I import so that there's less risk of me using "funky" addresses and possibly being considered a spammer by my email service provider. I also appreciate the support I receive in managing email campaigns. E.g. the software stops sending automated emails to people who reply to my campaign because those replies will need a personalized response to whatever was stated or asked. Beyond that, I love the library of video tutorials. They helped me become a much better email marketer. I've even subscribed to Mailshake's YouTube channel.
I initially struggled with changing the days and times that emails went out. But Mailshake's customer support helped me out, and it's gotten much easier (I may be mored used to the system).
I didn't really know anything about the principles of email marketing. Between the automated guidance provided by the system and the tutorials, I am much savvier, and I've enjoyed email open rates that are way above the average across industries.
Mailshake makes it easy to launch email campaigns at scale. Everything is where you'd expect it to be and it only takes a few minutes to get your first campaign sent.
It'd be great if there were native integrations with other CRM tools to keep databases synced. There are Zapier recipes you can create, but I prefer to have them in-app.
We needed to execute cold email campaigns at scale with follow-ups. Our current ESP doesn't have this functionality, so we needed to seek out a solution.
The ability to reach out via email in bulk and the text replacement options for when you don't have a specific field.
I wish I could organize my campaigns a bit better.
Mailshake allows me to do a ton of solid outreach, fast, all while giving super-strong suggestions on how to make sure you don't get a spam alert on your email.
Mailshake makes sending emails that generate meetings easier than any other product out there.
Nothing. Maybe list cleaning could be a little quicker, maybe it could automatically integrate with every CRM all customers use, but I don't believe that's even possible.
I am solving the problem of following up with customers without any action from me. I am solving the problem of ANYTHING that would get in the way of quick outreach. I am also receiving benefits in the way of dashboards that track all sorts of data so that I can do process improvement on my outreach.
1. Mailshake allows you to easily connect a Gmail, Outlook, or Ionos email account to send email drips and receive replies. 2. There is a built-in email address cleaning tool, a wizard to guide you through creating emails that won't get caught in spam or promotion filters, 3. You can enabled a rulem to stop sending a drip sequence once a contact replies. 4. The scheduling tool enables you to define the days, hours, and time zone for sending. 5. Support is very responsive.
There are a few settings that are difficult to find, such as the signature block.
As a marketer, many of my clients have an email platform such as MailChimp, HubSpot, etc. These platforms don't allow uploading and sending emails to cold contacts, i.e., those who have not opted to receive emails. Mailshake is an inexpensive tool to send emails to purchased contact lists to begin conversations with prospective leads.
A simplicidade é o que mais chama atenção. Menos é mais! 1) Ferramenta objetiva em geração de resultados; 2) Calendários funcionam perfeitamente; 3) Adaptabilidade; 4) Atendimento de seus desenvolvedores, e supoporte são espetaculares; 5) Recomendo fortemente o Mailshake para usuários brasileiros, inclusive, já demonstrei a ferramenta para vários amigos empresários; 6) Empatia. Passamos por momentos difíceis no Brasil com a instabilidade da moeda e COVID19 e o time da Mailshake colocou-se em nosso lugar. Considerou descontos para nos apoiarem e em contrapartida crescemos a quantidade de usuários significativamente. 7) Agilidade em resolucionar problemas; 8) Boa capacidade de integrações e ferramentas que auxiliam a isso, como por exemplo, Zapier; Sou fã declarado do Mailshake. Visto a camisa e recomendo!
Como toda ferramenta, o Mailshake é passível de melhorias e atualizações, no entanto estão no caminho certo, como por exemplo: 1) Reports podem ser melhorados; 2) Adequação/maior flexibilidade de calendários de disparos; 3) Colocar +1 conta para fazer disparos em uma mesma campanha; 4) A versão 2.0 que foi ao ar não contempla em envio de e-mails manuais a opção de Templates prontos. Desta forma nosso time ainda não utiliza a nova versão do Mailshake 2.0.
A prospecção com cold mail de uma forma otimizada e de fácil operação. Estamos tento um retorno muito positivo em nossas campanhas.
I love the simplicity of the system especially the templates.
Nothing...all items work for my business needs.
Mailshake saves me a tremendous amount of time and frees me up to do creative things.
The customer support holds your hand, if you ask, and walks you through all aspects of the software. The experiance is unlike other softwares for myself most because of this reason. There's a group a people who are good at what they do and it shows. I have a better experiance using MS with Google Chrome than Safari and when I told them I had any issue, they immidiantly responded. The software is heavy but the team is so welcoming it's hard not to like them.
The software is heavy but the way you use it depends on what your doing and the non sexy act of scrubbing the lists of leads is made easy because of the videos you have to introduce you to list scrubbing. There's a clear aim from the developers to create a culture around their software and all things considered they make it so you feel like your a part of the other people using MS and when your scrubbing lists that's a very good thing.
I'm leaving LL behind. The way we send outreach to SEO Firms is made in a way where we don't mess it up. The macbook pro is the only thing on my desk in an otherwise empty room with the list of leads scrubbed and popped open. It's hard not to succeed. The metrics are good but above our heads at this moment, right now it's more of a have everything in one place kind of thing and MS gives us that.
Mailshake is easy to use and helps you along the way with clear instructions, suggestions and guidance.
I don't dislike anything about it. I have had two campaigns so far - no issues.
It's a no fuss way to get all my cold emailing done.
The User Interface and Customer Service!
Nothing really, it makes outreach SO easy for freelancers
Their guides are ACTUALLY helpful and the features they have like the warmup and the onboarding is magical. It makes the process from start to execution really really frictionless and fun! They added value to all the rihgt touchpoints in my journey and they really made outreach which is usually a drag personally into something exciting because of how easy & fun they made it with the software.
Chances of making an error in the scheduling portion of the campaign and wasting days or weeks trying to catch up outbound touch goals gets reduced to zero if you use their sending calendar feature. sometimes the limits and campaign schedules can interfere with each other and cause emails to not go out when intended. same when you are new to using the tool. easy to catch mistakes when you see the sending schedule. Mailshake also has the smoothest UX, although it was much better before the update. still far better than any other tool.
there's no warmup feature *yet, which means manually warming up new email domains.
i use mailshake for outbound sales but the problems im solving are time based. simply put, other tools take too much time to learn and errors cost a lot of time.
It helps me get in touch with all my relevant prospects quickly and efficiently. Loving it so far.
Nothing really. I guess I would like to merge campaign into one but that's not possible at the moment
Benefits is increased sales, we are getting our message out there to more people!
Their integrity is just unbeatable. The hibernation option is there! And I love how they make it so easy to suspend their services. It matters very much for me as I have time when I need to do outreach and time when I don't.
I just wish the price was lower than this.
Email outreach for link building
I like how easy it is to create and schedule a mailing campaign as well as create a drip for customers after they join.
Not sure, maybe be able to adjust the the frequency/amount of people to get the email. IE all 500 get emailed on Friday vs being scattered randomly.
Helps to solve customer outreach. Able to create a message once and send it to customers and potential customers easily.
Email Marketing is what I do, I've used every platform out there and Mailshake is my favorite.
Last week I would have suggested a few improvements, however today they released their 2.0 upgrade and everything I wanted improved- was. Its sick.
Try using Lemlist- then use Milkshake...problem solved.
I love how easy it is to queue up a campaign. This tool filled a gap in my tech stack. I wanted to quickly and easily send bulk email campaigns that appeared as though each email came manually from my outlook.
Don't love that there's a limit on how many emails you can send per day (in order to keep outlook from flagging me as spam), but it encourages me to keep my campaigns small and cull out bad leads from my lists.
I use Mail Shake for sales outreach, webinar follow up and even to notify our customers of planned maintenance. We always get more replies than sending out a standard, newsletter style email.
Can be combined with Zapier to receive automatic reply updates.
No automatic reply functions, which isn't really necessary.
Easy to create, track, and follow up with email campaigns. Combined with Zapier, I can build and idiot-proof system of outreach and appointment booking.
The number one thing l like best is the clean and intuitive UI. I've never had to consult the docs once because everything is obvious. I literally had my first campaign, including adding domain records and paying for mailshake, in 30 mins.
Nothing... I mean I setup a campaign fluently so nothing negative happened.
Productivity Scaling cold email campaigns Testing different lists using campaigns Integrated email verifier although I have my own private setup for this already.
Compared to other mailers, Mailshake is easy to use. Being able to schedule the emails lets you focus on other things while your outreach scales exponentially.
The integrations for the CMS are at their basic stage. If you want more complex things done, you will have to create your own webhooks or use Zapier.
We're using Mailshake to send our email outreach automatically. Being able to schedule everything at the campaign launch is great because it frees up time.
The personalization options, and how easy it is to load CSVs
Nothing so far, but with there was live support.
My agency´s outbound outreach.
