1. 1,000 accounts researched

    Every dot is a company that fits your buyer. We build the list from your ideal customer profile and research each account before it enters the system.

  2. 940 verified

    List, verify, enrich. Addresses are checked before a single send and every person gets a line written for them. Bounce rates stay under 2%.

  3. runs everything inside the ring

    The team in New York and the systems behind it. Strategy, copy, infrastructure, sending, replies and booking all run from here, and the weekly report comes back to you from here.

  4. 6 inboxes, 2 domains, warm

    Separate sending domains with SPF, DKIM and DMARC, two to three weeks of warmup, and blocklist checks every morning. The same setup scales past 400,000 emails a day.

  5. 3,760 touches, five channels

    Email, LinkedIn, paid ads, SMS and AI voice, timed together. The lines sweeping out to your market are touches going to real people, in their time zone.

  6. 96 replies, 32 positive

    The green lines coming back are replies. A person reads and answers each one the same business day. Positive replies go to booking, not-nows go into next quarter's follow-up.

  7. 16 meetings on your calendar

    Qualified meetings land on your calendar with context. You take the meeting and close. Every week, the numbers come back to the center and the list, the copy and the volume get adjusted.

Figures as of September 2026.

  1. InputYour target list
  2. 1,000 accounts

    We build the list from your ideal customer: title, company size, industry, region and buying signals. Every account is researched before it enters the system.

  3. 940 valid

    Every address is verified before a single send. Catch-alls and unknowns stay off the list, which is how bounce rates stay under 2%.

  4. 6 inboxes, 2 domains

    Separate sending domains set up for you with SPF, DKIM and DMARC, warmed for two to three weeks and checked against blocklists every morning. The same infrastructure scales past 400,000 emails a day.

  5. 3,760 touches

    Three emails and one LinkedIn touch per person, written for your buyer and sent 8 AM to 5 PM in their time zone. Personalized first lines, never a template blast.

  6. 96 replies, 32 positive

    Every reply is read and answered the same business day. Positive replies go to booking. Not-nows go into a follow-up for next quarter, so nothing is wasted.

  7. 16 meetings

    Qualified meetings land on your calendar with context: who they are, what they said and what they want to talk about. Reminders go out so they show up.

  8. Yours to close

    You take the meeting and close. We report the numbers every week and adjust the list, the copy and the volume from what the replies tell us.

    See the six programs

    Most outbound fails before anyone reads it.

    It breaks in one of three places. We fix all three before your first email goes out.

    The list

    What usually happens

    Scraped contacts, stale job titles and catch-all domains. Emails bounce, and the ones that land reach the wrong person.

    What we do

    Current, verified contacts matched to your buyer. Anything we can't verify stays off the list.

    The inbox

    What usually happens

    A new domain, no warmup and half-finished DNS. The email goes to spam and nobody finds out.

    What we do

    Separate sending domains with SPF, DKIM and DMARC, two to three weeks of warmup, and blocklist checks every morning.

    The email

    What usually happens

    A template with a first-name field. Prospects spot it in one line and delete it.

    What we do

    Short plain-text emails built on something true about each account, written the way people write to each other.

    Live example

    Watch a sequence run.

    The first email writes itself, the reply comes in, the meeting lands. Pick an industry to see how the angle changes. Names and companies are illustrative.

    Dana, congrats on the Columbus DC.

    Shippers usually re-bid lanes in the first 90 days at a new site. We run dedicated reefer out of Ohio and can price your outbound lanes this week.

    Worth a comparison before you lock rates?

    Yes. Send over a few times for Thursday.

    Six programs. One standard.

    Every program runs on infrastructure we build ourselves, and every message is written by a person. Pick what you need and we'll point you to the right one.

    How a campaign runs

    From first call to booked meetings in about three weeks.

    You approve every list and every email. We handle the rest, and you can see all of it.

    1. Day 1

      Strategy call

      Thirty minutes. We learn your buyer, your offer and what counts as a qualified meeting for you, and you leave with a realistic view of what a campaign can do.

    2. Days 2 to 14

      Build

      We register sending domains, set up authentication, warm every inbox, build and verify your list, and write the first sequences.

      • Separate domains, never your own
      • Verified contacts only
      • Nothing sends until you approve it
    3. Week 3

      Launch

      Campaigns go live on a steady ramp. We handle replies the same business day and book meetings straight onto your calendar.

    4. Every week after

      Report and improve

      Sends, replies and meetings, plus what we're changing next. We test angles and segments and cut what doesn't work.

    Deliverability

    The part you never see decides whether anyone reads your email.

    Most agencies rent a sending tool and hope. We build the plumbing ourselves and check it every morning. Flip a switch to see what each piece does.

    • Separate sending domains, so your company domain never carries cold volume
    • SPF, DKIM and DMARC on every domain, aligned the way Gmail, Yahoo and Outlook require
    • Two to three weeks of warmup before the first real send
    • Blocklist and DNS checks on every domain we send from

    Read the deliverability guide

    Sending domainsend.northwindfreight.co

    Everything checks out. The email lands in the primary inbox.

    Infrastructure

    Built like a network, not a mailbox.

    Every program runs across many small domains and inboxes, each carrying a little, so no single one ever carries enough to get noticed. That's how the same setup scales to 400,000 emails a day.

    How the sending infrastructure is laid outSending domains connect to a few inboxes each, inboxes send through Google, Microsoft and other providers, and emails reach prospects. Hover a node to trace its routes.

    Frequently asked questions

    If yours isn't here, ask it on the call.

    What does Be Leaded do?

    Be Leaded is a B2B marketing agency. We run cold email and appointment setting, LinkedIn outreach, paid social and search, newsletter, email and SMS programs, AI voice follow-up, and off-market deal flow for M&A advisors and business brokers. We build the infrastructure, write every message and book meetings on your calendar.

    How soon will we see meetings?

    Most programs go live in about three weeks, once domains are warmed and the first sequences are approved. Replies start soon after launch. How many turn into meetings depends on your market and your offer, and we'll give you a realistic range on the first call.

    Will cold email hurt our company domain?

    No. We send from separate domains that we set up, warm and monitor every day. Your company domain never carries cold volume.

    Who writes the emails?

    We do. Every sequence is written in plain text for your market, and nothing sends until you approve it.

    What does it cost?

    Programs start at $2,000 a month. For the right fit we also price per qualified meeting. You'll get an exact number after a 30-minute call.

    Are your emails compliant?

    Every email identifies the sender, includes a physical mailing address and a clear way to opt out, and opt-outs are honored right away. We follow CAN-SPAM on every US send and check local rules before sending into the EU, UK or Canada.

    Tell us who you want to meet.

    Thirty minutes with the founder. You'll leave with a clear picture of your market, what a campaign would look like and what it would cost.
