## What this case shows

In cold outreach, deliverability is the advantage.

Deliverability is infrastructure: warmed sending pools, per-account rate limits, health monitoring. Building that yourself usually takes months.

Solve getting seen first. Personalization only matters after that. A 62.5 percent open rate is what makes a 9.2 percent reply rate possible.

### The full funnel

#### Production data. Absolute counts.

Contacted is the denominator for every percentage, and a person who appears under several roles is counted once.

Contacted 1,299  100%  
Opened (pixel) 812  62.5% · step 62.5%  
Replied 119  9.2% · step 14.7%  
Interested 98  7.5% · step 82.4%  
Resume 45  3.5% · step 45.9%  
Width uses a square-root scale so a 2 percent stage is still a slice, not a hairline. The count is the fact. Opened is hatched because it is a tracking pixel.

#### Per 100 people contacted

- 3 resume  
- 5 interested, no resume  
- 1 replied only  
- 91 no reply

One cell is one person out of 100 contacted. Cells are exclusive: a resume is not counted again as interest.

Interview booking was not used by this account inside the window. The funnel stops at resume. All 28 confirmed interviews on the customers page belong to the largest account.

62.5% open

812 of 1,299. Pixel-tracked; treat it as a ceiling, not a fact about reading.

1,299 contacted

Engineering candidates whose inboxes vary wildly in reachability.

9.2% reply

119 people replied.

98 interested engineers

45.9 percent of interested people sent a resume.

### How fast it happened

#### Raw timestamps, from the first wave.

These are real intervals in this account, measured from the first outreach wave. They are not a 24-hour delivery claim, and they are not a fill-time claim.

### How much the AI wrote

#### 3,791 personalized emails.

First touch plus automatic follow-ups, each written for that person, with no template blast. The hour count below is the only estimate on this page: it assumes 3 minutes to research and write one email by hand.

3,791 × 3 min = 190 hours ≈ 24 working days. Substitute your own minutes-per-email and recompute.

## FAQ

### How to read this account.

#### Should I treat 62.5 percent open as proof the mail was read?

No. Open rate uses a tracking pixel. Prefetch can fire it without a human reading the mail. Use reply, interest, and resume to decide. Those are 9.2 percent, 7.5 percent, and 45 resumes on this account.

#### Is this the same as the 55-role account?

No. That account ran many functions for seven months. This one hired engineers over two months. Both are anonymized company accounts. Neither is a named logo.

### Against the other four

#### Reply rate in this extract.

Same scale as the hub chart, with this account marked. The 55-role account is the largest by volume and the lowest by reply rate, and nothing in the set is dropped.
