Just What I Wanted - Use It don't ABUSE It, Nightmare Story....
I had been hoping a product like this would come to AppSumo and here it is Lemlist.
Video Review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgn6mfaSMFg
There is a way to use this and a way not to use it. So be careful.
People send me cold emails all the time. The problem is I can immediately spot a cold email and they go straight to the trash.
Why is that?
It's usually because they are not personalized and just look spammy.
WARNING - You can use Lemlist that way, but please don't! The video goes over the nightmare story dealing people doing this all wrong.
Lemlist is all about automating emails that look personal and that's because they are personal.
Highlights:
Email prospecting tool (much more really!)
Automate & personalize email outreach
Google apps or Gmail (no SMTP if you were wondering)
Dynamic images (very unique)
A/B split test emails & schedules (amazing!)
Automate contact for anyone (past customers, contacts from a conference, fellow chamber members, link building campaigns, and the use case goes on and on)
Needed Improvements:
Image builder needs snap grid
Some things are not so clear in the UI (text replacements)
Only meme-style text and normal text (font face and size options would be nice)
Max scheduling is 14 days (let users enter a longer interval)
Global stop or blacklist (I hear the blacklist is coming)
Deliverability
Ok so some folks may say this or that about email deliverability with images. These are unique images, and as you see demonstrated in the video, you also customize some of the email text that goes out. So the emails will be unique. Also factor in that you can't mass email spam with Lemlist really. Gmail has sending limits.
I have just started using it today, and am planning on using this for link building campaigns.
Much more info in the video above.
Looking forward to seeing Lemlist grow.
P.S. Since this is my first time using a tool like this, I can't really compare it to others, so my opinions are based on Lemlist and Lemlist alone.

In order for you to send an email from your own domain using lemlist you have two options:
1- Use a G-Suite account with your own domain
2- Create an alias in Gmail and then use it on lemlist https://support.google.com/mail/answer/22370?hl=en
So yes you can use your own SMTP but with a Google account ;)
