Together with @colinmathews and @bobsenoff, my buddy @sujanpatel has developed, what I think, is the easiest to use cold email tool I've ever seen. Lots of templates, using your Gmail, Zapier integration and much more. A must for anyone who sends out cold emails on a regular basis. πŸ––

Nice one! Been following the MailShake journey for quite a while and love what the team has built. The price point is perfect for small teams and the functionality/simplicity is on par with some of the best. Good job @colnmathews @bobsenoff @sujanpatel πŸš€

Thanks for hunting us @bramk ! @colnmathews @bobsenoff and I are all very excited to be Product Hunt today. Mailshake officially launched in Dec 2016 and over the last 7 months has grown to nearly 10k customers with 10.8 million emails sent.. but we started off as a marketing tool called ContentMarketer.io and in late 2015 we launched a simple tool to easily send cold emails called Connector. In the first 30 days, the usage of Connector passed our main product and within 90 days, revenue and daily usage passed our main product..that's when we knew we had something. We doubled down to build v2.0, ditched our other product and brought on @bobsenoff as a partner to help on the business side. While Colin was building v2.0, I went to town interviewing Connector customers and talking to our competitor's customers. Two things that always struck out to me during those chats. Sales professionals & marketers (or our ideal customers) wanted something simple and easy to use.. and everything people described seemed difficult or complicated. It was during an interview with a customer who ran a large sales organization that I had my "aha" moment. He told me that he loved Connector because he didn't have to train his employees. He gave them login and they figured it out on their own. That stuck with me and those two things are engrained in our company. Simple & easy to use. SIMPLE sounds easy but it's f'ing hard. "Easy to use" sound so simple but it's really complicated. I'd love any and all feedback :) P.S. the cold email that started it all Hugs & Kisses, Sujan Patel

@bramk @colnmathews @bobsenoff @sujanpatel wow, this Mailshake looks amazingly simple to use! I'm going to try it with our BotList advertising strategies.

@sujanpatel // He told me that he loved Connector because he didn't have to train his employees. He gave them login and they figured it out on their own. I can relate to this, 'cause that's exactly what I did. We've been using MailShake for outreach and we can't ask for a better tool. You've got a winner here!
Colin Mathews
@jijosunny Thank you 😁

@bramk @colnmathews @bobsenoff @sujanpatel Awesome :-D Recommending Mailshake more and more often here btw to our customers at Salesflare. I even have a standard saved reply for it ;-)

Thanks @bramk for hunting us! Hey guys, Colin here, dev behind Mailshake. This is a really exciting day for us. Thanks in no small way to the PH community, we get to share the culmination of a very organic evolution of work. Last year we shared an app with you called Connector which was an experiment born out of feedback from an even earlier product. We got great feedback here on PH, and Connector took off right away as a super simple email outreach tool. We immediately started working on Mailshake as it successor so we could create something truly on point, beautiful, and easy to use. Mailshake is the easiest-to-use cold email outreach tool out there. Mailshake works with any Gmail/G Suite account (you can use other services if you have a Gmail alias) and you can integrate with us via Zapier. We’ll be around all day answering questions and listening to your feedback!

I used Mailshake for years before joining the team to help it grow. Coming from a sales background I used many tools to cold email. Mailshake is the most simple tool and extremely effective from a Gsuite email.

In addition to closing dozens of eCommerce consulting deals, I was able to get free accommodation in Bali by emailing resorts and offering to exchange drone footage. Very versatile tool because you can simply add in more mail accounts.

Pros:

-The easiest cold email software

-Great price

Cons:

-No Outlook (Yet)

We use Mailshake at GrowthScore.io and it's kick-ass. Keep up the good work @sujanpatel
Sujan Patel
@laxmanpapineni awesome to hear! I can't wait to publish your blog post with the full rundown of how you used email outreach to grow GrwothScore.io

I'm a user of Mailshake and I've recommended it to others several times. Easy to use, everything works well, and great content in their guide on designing a cold email campaign.

MailShake just works, and is a pleasure to use. The price is very reasonable and there are some really good guides on their site for how to do email outreach and more. If I had one feature request it would be to integrate with Google Sheets so I don't have to download a CSV and then upload it to MailShake, but that's a minor niggle.

Pros:

Easy to use, reliable, great guides, and the price is right

Cons:

None

@colinmathews has been making great stuff for a long time and he's one of the most talented and tireless people I know. Colin and the entire team have invested tons of time in Mailshake to make it super useful for well crafted cold emails. Go get it.
Colin Mathews
@inventitorfixit Thank you, Jordan!
Gabriel Neuman
Great Product!!!!

I've saved hours of time and completely streamlined my outreach using Mailshake. Cannot recommend them enough!

Pros:

Super user friendly. Huge time saver.

Cons:

None

I've been an avid Mailshake user for a while now (since it was named Content Marketer). :) The product has evolved a lot: both on the stability and UX part. A couple of weeks ago they introduced Custom Tracking Domain (http://docs.mailshake.com/articl...) that hugely improves deliverability.
Ryan Farley

First off - contrary to what the sole negative reviewer Kamil says - the price is excellent. I'm pretty sure my Netflix subscription costs more than Mailshake. Not sure what his beef is, but Mailshake is a drop in the bucket and quite frankly should cost a lot more for what it offers.

It's got every feature I need, and is incredibly easy to use. Tracking, autoreplies, liquid form fills. Great support too, and they always seem to be adding features.

Pros:

Super simple and easy to use. Highly intuitive.

Cons:

None really

Ryan Farley
I'm a longtime user of mailshake. If you need to send an email to more than a few people, it makes it super easy, scheduled followups and everything. Very simple, clean and quite affordable. It's what I do all my outreach with.
Sujan Patel
@rj_farley awesome to hear! You should look into using the custom domain tracking :)
Christopher Gimmer
Great product. Incredibly easy to use!
Jonathan Baillie Strong
If I understand correctly this combines the functionality of say: streak + rebump, that sound about right?
Sujan Patel
@jonbstrong yup. Its all done outside of your inbox in our web app. Still sent through your email (gmail/gsuite).
Jason Quey

I like the fact that I can send automated follow-up emails in order to check in with people who haven't gotten back to me. Easy to use dashboard quickly show me what's working and what's not.

In my book, this is a no-brainer for any serious internet marketer, outbound sales agent, or blogger.

Pros:

1. Proven email templates. 2. Email scheduling to do work now, but send when ready. 3. Easy email followup to set it and forget it

Cons:

Occasionally bumped into problems with Gmail. Mailshake gives tips on how to avoid most of these problems.

Simple, easy to use tool for email outreach. Doesn't try to 'take over' your inbox/workflow like other products do. I'm a fan!
Sujan Patel
@conradoconnell Thanks! We avoid messing with your inbox/workflow altogether :)
Bob Senoff
Thanks @bramk. We appreciate the recommendation and are glad to answer any questions.
