I’ve been using Respona for a week now mainly for podcast outreach, and it’s been one of the more effective tools I’ve tried for this kind of work. I originally purchased it for backlinks but came across the podcast opportunity.

I set up a “Podcast outreach” campaign and had 586 opportunities in it. The sequence is currently running with solid open rates (around 73% on the ones that have been contacted) and I’ve already started getting replies. One of those replies turned into a calendar invite. That alone made the tool worth it for me.

What I like:
* Clean campaign dashboard that shows launched, scheduled, contacted, opened and replied numbers clearly
* The inbox view is useful for keeping track of the conversation threads without jumping between tools.
* Easy to see what’s working and what’s not at a glance

I’m still early with it, but the fact that I’ve already booked a real meeting from cold outreach is a good sign. Looking forward to scaling this further.
