Stop searching.
Start having conversations.

Tell us who your ideal customer is and what you offer. Coldsetter finds companies that match, researches each one, writes to them individually — and brings you the ones who answer.

No list building. No background research. No writing. Your team spends its time on the conversation, which is the part it is good at.

Nothing is sent without your approval, and never from your own domain.

How it works

We match who you want against who is out there.

Six steps. You are involved in one of them — approving what gets sent — and you take over at the end.

You give us

Your ideal customer+What you offer

Suspects

companies that might fit

  1. 01

    Source

    We search your market for companies that could fit — each one with a website and a phone number, because without a number there is no conversation.

  2. 02

    Enrich

    We read each company’s own website: what they do, how big they are, and every contact we can find on it.

  3. 03

    Score

    Each company is scored against your ideal customer and your offer. The ones that do not fit drop out here, before anyone writes to them.

Prospects

companies that passed, now being contacted

  1. 04

    Write

    An individual email to the most relevant person there, in their language. Not a template. You approve it before it goes.

  2. 05

    Follow up

    Reminders if there is no answer. If there is still none, the next person at that company — aware of what was already sent.

  3. 06

    Hand over

    They reply. The sequence stops immediately and your team takes the conversation from there.

You get

Conversations with people who answered you — and the full history of what was said.

What happens to a company that never answers+

It is not dropped after one email. The system sends reminders, and when those go unanswered it moves to the next contact at that same company and starts again, aware of everything that was already sent there.

That means one company can stay in the system for a month or two rather than a day. Your own people would not spend that long on a single company, and they should not have to.

What you get

A weekly list of people to talk to.

Not a dashboard to check. A list — with the phone number, and everything that was already said, so nobody starts from nothing.

The person on the other end has already seen your name. That makes the opening line easy: “We sent you an email — did you get a chance to look at it?”

Why it is not simply “everyone who opened it”+

Some opens are not real — mail systems load images with no person involved. So a company reaches the list only when it has

  • replied to the email, or
  • opened it three or more times, or
  • opened it after a reminder.

That definition does not change once we have agreed it.

The obvious objection

This is not mass email.

You have tried cold email and hardly anybody answered. So have the people you are writing to. That is what happens when everyone gets the same message.

Why identical emails fail, and it is not the writing+

Mail systems notice when the same content arrives at many recipients at once and move it to spam before a person ever sees it. That is usually how a sending domain earns a bad reputation in the first place.

When every email is composed separately there is no such pattern. So part of the difference is not better writing at all. It is that the email arrives.

The email

Mass sending

One text, sent to everyone

Coldsetter

Written for that company, from what we found about it

Who receives it

Mass sending

Whatever address was on the list — usually info@

Coldsetter

Every contact on their site, ranked; the most relevant one is written to

If nobody replies

Mass sending

Nothing

Coldsetter

Reminders, then a different person at the same company

Replies

Mass sending

Land in an inbox for someone to read

Coldsetter

Sorted: interested, question, not now, out of office, passed to a colleague

If they pass you on

Mass sending

Your person has to notice and write it themselves

Coldsetter

The system writes to that colleague, aware of what was already said

Language

Mass sending

One text, one market

Coldsetter

Each email written in the recipient’s own language

Spam filters

Mass sending

The same content to many recipients — filters spot the pattern

Coldsetter

Every email is different, so there is no pattern to spot

Your domain

Mass sending

Carries the damage when it goes wrong

Coldsetter

Never used. A separate, warmed-up domain carries the risk

What to expect

Contacting 500 companies is not 500 calls.

Only the ones that showed a sign get talked to. The rest keep getting reminders.

5–10%

reply to an individually written email. 1–2% is normal for mass sending.

105–155

companies worth talking to, out of every 500 contacted in a month.

~2 a day

each, for a team of three — alongside the work they already have.

These are rates from my own campaigns, in sectors that are not yours — the lower end from a Lithuanian campaign, the higher from a UK one. In your market they get measured in the first months rather than promised.

The guarantee

If fewer than 70 companies are worth talking to in month two or month three, you do not pay for that month.

Seventy is a third below the lowest figure I have ever recorded. If we do not reach it, that is my problem and not yours.

The two conditions that make this fair both ways+

Month one does not count

A new sending domain is warmed up slowly and sends deliberately little. Guaranteeing a result while that is happening would not be honest.

You approve drafts within three working days

Unapproved emails do not go out, and then a short list would not be the system’s fault. Where the email is in a language your team does not read, a translation comes with every draft.

Plans

Start small. Grow when it earns it.

Plans differ by how many companies get contacted each month, and how many markets you run. Nothing else changes between them.

Basic

To find out whether it works for you.

  • One market — one country, one language
  • A small monthly volume, enough to read a real signal from
  • Everything included: sending domain, data, AI and server costs
Book a call

Standard

Recommended

When it is working and you want more of it.

  • Higher monthly volume of companies contacted
  • More than one market, each in its own language
  • A fresh list of people to talk to every week
Book a call

Enterprise

When it has to fit the systems you already run.

  • Connects to your CRM or transport management system
  • Your own data sources, not only the ones we ship with
  • Volume and terms agreed rather than picked from a list
Book a call

Every plan includes the approval step, a separate sending domain, and the weekly list of people to talk to. Which plan you need depends on volume — who holds the controls is a separate question, and it is the next section.

Who runs it

Start with me running it. Take it over when you want to.

Not two products — the same system with the controls in different hands. Moving between them is expected, not exceptional.

Option A

I run it for you

I set the market up and run it day to day. Your team still approves every email and sees everything.

What that means in practice+

While the sending domain is still new, the sending pace and the targeting stay with me. A new domain pushed too hard in its first weeks is ruined permanently, and replacing it costs a month. At the end of the pilot I hand the controls over, with training, and that handover is not charged for.

Option B

You run it yourself

The same system, licensed to you, with your own people on the controls.

What that means in practice+

Server, maintenance and updates are included. Suited to a team that already knows what it is doing and wants the cost per company as low as it goes. Markets you have already set up stay yours — you do not pay to build them a second time.

Safeguards

What it is not allowed to do.

In a business built on sending things, the limits matter more than the features.

Never your domain

Outreach goes from a separate domain bought and warmed for it.

Nothing sends without a person

Every draft waits for approval, and can be edited or rejected.

It stops when they answer

A reply ends the sequence. No reminder chases someone who replied.

The data is yours

Company lists, history and email content stay with you if we stop.

An agreement before we start

You are the data controller, I am the processor. I draft it.

Hosted in the EU

Servers and backups in Europe, and the backups are checked, not assumed.

Straight answers

Where it stops, and what people ask.

The limits are first, on purpose. They are fairer on this page than in month two.

What it will not do

It will not find a named buyer inside a large company+
The system finds contacts on a company’s own website. For a small or mid-size manufacturer that is enough. In a 500-person freight forwarder you will find info@ and stop. Getting the specific purchasing manager in a company that size is separate work with separate data costs, and it is only worth pricing once the rest is proven.
It does not screen companies on their finances yet+
It could, but the useful direction is the opposite of the obvious one: it is worth more to exclude companies that cannot pay than to chase rich ones, because you usually deliver before you get paid. There is also no single European source — the data is free and automatic in France, Lithuania, Belgium, Denmark and the Baltics, and paid per document in Spain and Italy. So it depends on which market you pick, and I will tell you which on the call.
One market will not last forever+
The best-fitting companies get contacted first, so what falls over time is the quality, not the volume. Expect a second market to be worth adding somewhere around month four to six. That is why the real size of your market gets measured in the first week, before a domain is bought or a word is written.

Other questions

Do you make the calls as well?+
No. I bring you the companies worth talking to; your people talk to them. Selling what you sell is something your team does better than any system, and better than me.
How long until the first list of people to talk to?+
Realistically the fourth week. Weeks one to three are your ideal customer profile, measuring the market, the domain, the mailbox and the sending records, and then warming the domain up — a new domain cannot send at volume immediately without ruining itself. Full volume and weekly lists follow from month two.
What if my market turns out to be too small?+
It gets measured in the first week, before a domain is bought or a word is written. If the country you picked will not carry the volume we agreed, we take a different market instead at no extra setup cost — and you choose which.
Which languages does it work in?+
Any. Each email is written in the recipient’s own language rather than translated from one master text, and replies come back with a translation attached, so anyone on your team can read them. It means you can test a market before you hire someone who speaks its language.
Can I use my own list of companies?+
Yes. Upload it, and it goes through the same research, scoring and contact extraction as anything the system finds itself.
Is this allowed under GDPR (the EU data protection rules)?+
It is built for business-to-business contact, where processing is normally grounded in legitimate interest: business contact details, a relevant offer, a clear sender, and a way to opt out in every email that is honoured immediately. You are the data controller and I am the processor, under an agreement signed before we start. Rules differ by country and I am not your lawyer — I will tell you plainly what the system does, and your counsel can check it against your situation.
Will this damage the domain we already use?+
It cannot. Nothing is ever sent from it. That is the point of buying and warming a separate one.
What happens if we stop?+
The data is yours and you keep it. Markets already set up stay set up, so coming back later does not mean paying to build them again.

Book a call

Twenty-five minutes. Here is exactly what happens in them.

  1. 01What you sell, who buys it, and which market you would start in.
  2. 02I estimate how many companies there actually match — on the call, not afterwards.
  3. 03You decide whether a pilot is worth it. I will tell you if I think it is not.

There are no slides, and there is no second call with a different person. You are talking to the person who would build and run it.

Not ready for a call? Tell me what you sell and who to, and I will send back an estimate of how many companies in that market actually match — before you buy anything.

Goes to my inbox and nowhere else. No newsletter, no sequence — the irony would be too much.
