Cold Emailers: Would You Use a Tool That Automates *Smart* Follow-Ups? (Brutally Honest Feedback Needed)

Hey everyone,

I’m a founder building a tool to fix something I hate about cold emailing: generic, spammy follow-ups that waste time and kill reply rates.

Here’s the idea:

• You set a goal (e.g., “book a meeting,” “close a sale”).
• The tool automatically adjusts follow-up timing/messaging based on that goal.
• Example: If a lead opens your email but doesn’t reply, it sends a follow-up addressing common objections.

I need your BRUTAL honesty:

1. Is this a problem you’d pay to solve? Why/why not?
2. What’s the #1 thing that makes you ignore cold emails?
3. Would you try a free beta? (I’ll manually run campaigns for 5 people to prove the concept.)

Why I’m asking:

I don’t want to waste 6 months building something nobody wants. If this resonates, I’ll keep you updated. If it’s dumb, tell me to shut it down.

PS: I personally find it sending follow up sequences and having a tool that does it for me would be a no brainer. I know there are other tools out there that do this but they are quite expensive and difficult to navigate through so that’s why I’m building this tool. So I need your help to help validate this idea
