Why it matters

Volume is the expensive way to get replies

If your reply rate is 2%, you need 1,000 messages for 20 replies, that's a lot of sending, and a lot of ways to get flagged. Double the reply rate and you halve the work.

Better targeting and value-first, personalised messages are how you do that. Neuron Outreach handles both, and our cold email checker tells you if a message is good enough to send.

What it works out

  • Messages to sendThe replies you want divided by your reply rate, rounded up.
  • Meetings you can expectAdd your reply to meeting rate to see the likely meetings.
  • What a better rate savesAn estimate of the messages you would skip if your rate doubled.
  • A realistic rangeTypical reply rates, so you do not plan on a guess.

Good to know

Questions, answered plainly.

  • How does it work?

    Enter the replies you want and your reply rate, and it tells you how many messages to send. Add a reply-to-meeting rate to see expected meetings too.

  • What reply rate should I use?

    Cold email typically 1 to 5%; warm or well-targeted DMs 10 to 20%. If you don't know yours, start at the bottom of the range and update it once you've sent a batch.

  • How do I send fewer messages?

    Raise your reply rate, better targeting and value-first, personalised messages reply far more often than generic blasts. That's exactly what Neuron Outreach is for.

  • Is it free?

    Yes, no login.
