Instantly helped me sign my first cold email client (~$4.8K/mo)... even with my targeting completely off haha.
I was emailing companies hiring salespeople. The guy misunderstood my pitch, we jumped on a call anyway & he signed.
50+ of our agency clients went on to run their cold email on it.
Now it picks the leads for you too:
Lead Finder recommends prospects from 550M+ contacts (local businesses & creators included) - before you even search.
Here's how we'd get the most out of it:
1. Start from who already pays you
- It analyzes your offer + your best customers
- Then gives each prospect a match score: 61%, 82%, 98%...
(The launch video turns it into a fighting game character select screen, love it)
โ Same logic as our lookalike play: target companies similar to your best clients.
2. Buying signals first
- Live signals cover 85% of companies
- Lead scoring pushes the best leads to the top
โ Target the people who actually have a reason to reply.
3. Tight lists > broad lists
- Across the 1M+ emails we analyzed in Instantly, micro-lists of 500-1,000 greatly outperformed 100,000-contact blasts
- Blasting everything it finds just teaches inboxes to ignore you
4. Open on the signal
- You can enrich, research & write in the same place, no tool switching
- So instead of "hope all's well at [Company]", lead with it (my go-to: "Noticed you recently added [tool]...")
5. Value-first > ask-first
- Its AI agent can run outreach from the first email all the way to the booked call
- Keep it to 3 emails & offer something before asking for 15 min ("want me to send over a quick example deck?")
The search for your next customer is OVER ๐
Meet the new Instantly Lead Finder!
It proactively finds potential customers from 550M+ contacts ranging from:
- The worldโs largest Enterprises
- Various SMBs
- Your Local businesses
- Over 50M Creators on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube
Also, it automatically spots who's showing buying signals and preps the suitable outreach for you ๐

@InstantlyAI started with a problem its founders experienced firsthand.
While running a lead generation agency, co-founder @raulkaevand faced a familiar challenge: cold email tools became expensive as the number of client campaigns and email accounts grew.
Instead of accepting that cost, the team built a tool around a simpler idea: make outbound easier to scale without making the process more complicated.
That idea became @InstantlyAI.
Today, the platform combines lead discovery, email outreach, inbox warmup, deliverability tools, and AI powered campaign automation. Its website says it connects users to 450M+ leads and serves 700K+ businesses worldwide.
But what I find interesting is how the product has evolved beyond sending emails.
Finding prospects is only one part of outbound. You still need relevant targeting, personalized messaging, reliable inbox placement, timely follow ups, and a way to turn replies into real opportunities.
@InstantlyAI is building around that entire workflow instead of treating cold email as an isolated task.
๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐บ ๐ฎ ๐ด๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐๐ต ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ, ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น ๐๐ฎ๐น๐๐ฒ ๐ถ๐๐ปโ๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ฑ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐บ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฎ๐ถ๐น๐. ๐๐โ๐ ๐ฏ๐๐ถ๐น๐ฑ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฎ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐๐๐๐๐ฒ๐บ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ผ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐.
That distinction matters for startups. More outreach doesn't automatically mean more pipeline. Better targeting, relevant offers, and consistent follow up are what make the system work.
@InstantlyAI evolution from an internal agency tool into a broader sales engagement platform is a useful example of solving a problem close to the customer before expanding the product around it.
Customer first approach is powerful, Iโm interested to see how the team continues redefining what efficient, AI powered sales outreach can look like.

36 meetings in 18 days.
That was the result for a B2B SaaS client who came to us with a "cold email doesn't work for our industry" story.
Here's what we found:
- Their domain reputation was destroyed (sending from their main domain)
- Email copy was 400+ words with 3 CTAs
- No follow-up sequence
- Targeting "marketing professionals" instead of actual buyers
We rebuilt everything:
- Proper domains and inboxes with proper warmup
- 47-word emails with one question
- 5-touch follow-up sequence
Same product. Same market. Same founder.
Different system, different results.
Cold outbound isn't magic. It's architecture.

Feeling like I can get the fundamentals done with cold emails just by watching @InstantlyAI YouTube pageโฆ
Anyone been learning cold emails fundamentals from them ?

In any GTM motion, it's far too easy to get overwhelmed by the amount of tools that are available now-a-days.
At the core though, to have real leverage now in 2026, you need three things:
1๏ธโฃ A reliable agent frameworks like Grok @bot, Hermes, or OpenClaw
2๏ธโฃ A data layer to search your relevant ICP with good coverage & validation
3๏ธโฃ A scalable sending platform for cold outreach
Now you might ask, "what does real leverage mean!?"
To me, real leverage involves these core things which I think we can all agree on:
First, you need to have an agent that can actually *do* the job on your behalf. Grok Bot is most definitely the one as of late that can do that, wherever you go. I was able to kick off a simple GTM motion enriching ~20k leads, and while the agent did the work, I set the phone down and went to play soccer w/my son at practice.
Second, you need a good data coverage layer. We used @prospeo_io for this use case because they have good coverage for what we were looking for. The real source of truth is LinkedIn itself, so you'll want a data provider that can be as close to that with valid emails.
Third, you need a good sending layer. For cold email, we used @InstantlyAI because having multiple domains and inboxes allows to keep your primary domain healthy with good deliverability while the capacity at which you want to send is correlated to that.
In other words, if you want to reach out to the whole world about your offer as fast as possible, you're going to need a lot more than just one domain and one inbox.
Putting this all together, enabling the context + capabilities with your Grok Bot is by far the way to go to have a true "GTM" motion, while still giving you that freedom to do more human things (like touch grass).
In this video, I break down a very simple stack to do exactly that, step by step. ๐ป

testing a new opening offer to blue-collar / trade businesses - one day into the test campaign with only 500 emails sent, insane results so far :)

I would use @InstantlyAI new partnership agent:
Tell it who you ICP is and it finds the right companies, identifies the decision maker, AND writes the email
And these emails are better than what I sent....

If you donโt have an audience โ just like me
(I only have 1,700 followers on @X )
do this:
1/ Buy a few cheap domains.
I use @Namecheap
2/ Create 5 email inboxes for each domain.
3/ Build your sending infrastructure and warm up the inboxes.
I use @InstantlyAI
4/ Find the right leads to contact.
I use [ClientDoneForYou .com]
5/ Start sending cold emails. Test. Learn. Scale what works.
Do this consistently, keep improving the targeting and offer, and it becomes very hard to get zero customers.
RT @seanlongden: There's something I call terminal credibility which helps you convert cold traffic at a higher rate
What does it mean?

Going live with @genokadzin on @InstantlyAI today to build the GTM engine we use for clients.
Will start by building the TAM in Claude Code with one prompt. Then I'll work through which companies we can sell to, how to segment them, and who to contact, before turning that into campaigns inside the tools you already use.
If you've been reading my tweets about this, come see how the whole thing works.
12pm ET, today.
@itsalexvacca is building a full GTM engine LIVE today ๐๏ธ
Starting with TAM, then turning it into campaigns inside the tools you already own, with one prompt.
Heโll build the TAM in Claude Code, show the exact engine he runs for clients, and explain why he wouldnโt start a campaign from a generic list of 10,000 names.
Live today at 12pm ET.

Week 9 of Scaling the @InstantlyAI Showโข Past $1M ARR
An 18 year old running a $1.4M agency, $500M in pipeline from 1 systems guy and a sold G-Wagon ๐๐ฝ
Last week @paolo_scales, Mike Ellis, @Lukealexxander, Jani Vrancsik, Keagan van Staden, @romanbuildsaas and Milana Petkovic came on the show.
7 things I took from the week:
1. He closed his first 6 figures hiding behind a baby photo.
At 15 or 16, Paolo @paolo_scales ran his agency with a childhood picture as his profile photo because he didn't want prospects to know his real age. He's 18 now and doesn't hide anymore. His agency does $1.4 million a year.
2. He still takes every sales call himself.
Even after crossing $1 million ARR and training over 5,000 reps before this company, Luke @Lukealexxander closes every deal personally at @Kendosalesai. His reasoning: you learn more from 1 real sales call than from research or asking an LLM.
3. He sold the product before it existed.
Roman @romanbuildsaas advertised Gojiberry AI through cold outreach on Instantly before the tool was even built, charging $100 a month and finding the leads by hand.
4. He rotated his inboxes 1 week faster and results nearly doubled.
Moving from a 4 week inbox rotation to 3 weeks, with no other changes, is what pushed Mike Ellis's reply rates up that much. His agency Kale Acquisition does $4 million plus a year sending cold email to local businesses most tools ignore.
5. Every team has 1 person who refuses to use AI, and that person is your ceiling.
Not the star performer. The holdout. Jani Vrancsik grew his agency Growth Today to $1.5 million with $0 spent on ads.
6. 1 word in your call to action can double your booking rate.
Asking "can you meet Thursday at 11am" converts far better than "will you have time tomorrow," according to Keagan van Staden, because "can you" asks about right now, not an uncertain future.
7. Every email under 60 words, or it doesn't go out.
For a Shopify client stuck with long, generic emails and broken infrastructure, Milana Petkovic cut every email under 70 words and fixed the offer. Results went from nearly nothing to 300+ opportunities off 252,000 emails sent.
โ๏ธASK MY GUESTS ANYTHING
Drop your question in the comments and tag whoever you want to hear from, they'll come answer it themselves.
@paolo_scales posts on 3 different platforms now, LinkedIn, X and YouTube.
@Lukealexxander had never opened a terminal before he started this company. He still doesn't code, he just decides what a feature should do and hands it to his dev team.
@romanbuildsaas only applied to Y Combinator after his company was already doing close to $1 million a year, specifically for the network, not the money.
Mike Ellis never buys branded email accounts for a client.
Jani Vrancsik runs an outbound focused agency, but 85% of his own deals come from inbound.
Keagan van Staden's rule for booking a meeting: never same day, too much pressure, and never more than 48 hours out, people forget why they said yes.
Milana Petkovic won a competition for the best AI SDR agent earlier this year.
Let's go ๐ซก

iโve always been a big believer in organic traffic
but recently, we started experimenting with cold email and holy shit, it works pretty well
it hasnโt generated much revenue yet, but itโs been surprisingly effective at starting conversations with our target persona
all it took was:
- buying 5 domains, and 20 mailboxes
- scraping a few thousand leads
- and writing 4 email copies
- instantly subscription
- some patience
thatโs it.
highly recommend trying cold email if you have a clearly defined target persona

.@instantlyAI just launched a new agent: Lead Finder
It refills your campaigns with new leads on autopilot.
Here's how it works:
1๏ธโฃ Set a minimum active lead count (e.g. always 50+ leads).
2๏ธโฃ When the campaign dips below this number, the agent runs a search based on the existing audience and adds similar leads.
3๏ธโฃ If a search runs dry, you can either broaden the audience or pause.
There is 0 reason to not have automated campaigns running in the background.
Itโs insurance that your target market hears from you consistently.
And itโs easier than ever to get started.
Instantly.ai retweeted
Thank you @InstantlyAI for having me on the show.
Key takeaway for viewers watching this.
- speed to lead is huge for lead to booking
- calling interested leads is necessary
- ai setters work if you use them properly
- outbound ai setters donโt work (yet)
- every lead has a different intent
- Eugene is the goat
Check it out, I come in around 23mins in.
