Saleshandy handles outbound sequences and prospecting. You decide what enters the pipeline.
Saleshandy is built for accessible outbound email β cold email sequences, prospect management, automated follow-ups, and deliverability controls at a price point that works for SMB teams and individuals. Teams choose it because it provides solid cold email functionality without requiring a large budget or a dedicated sales ops function to configure it.
The accessibility is the point. It is also where a common shortcut appears. When a tool is fast and inexpensive to use, it becomes tempting to import a list without a verification step β especially if the team is sourcing from Apollo exports or large CSV files where the assumption is that the data came pre-qualified.
Apollo lists, LinkedIn exports, and purchased CSV files all contain addresses that are invalid, stale, or risky by the time they are imported. A low-cost sending tool does not reduce the domain-level cost of bouncing against those addresses.
What to check before Saleshandy import.
Saleshandy users frequently import from Apollo, LinkedIn exports, and CSV files. These sources produce lists of varying freshness and quality. These are the fields that matter before any list enters a Saleshandy campaign.
| Field | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| The address that enters the sequence and receives each follow-up step | |
| Domain | Determines catch-all behavior, MX health, and whether the company domain is still active |
| Source | Apollo, LinkedIn, CSV, manual entry β each source has different accuracy and staleness rates |
| Suppression status | Addresses that bounced or unsubscribed from previous campaigns must be excluded |
| List age | Lists older than 90 days carry significant staleness risk β re-verify before use |
The risk each signal type creates.
Price-sensitive teams using Saleshandy often import large lists to maximize outreach volume. Volume amplifies the impact of bad records β a higher percentage of invalid or risky addresses creates a proportionally larger bounce problem.
| Signal | Delivery behavior | Risk to Saleshandy campaigns |
|---|---|---|
| Invalid | Permanently rejected by receiving server | Hard bounce β damages sending domain at a rate proportional to list size |
| Catch-all | Domain accepts all addresses, mailbox uncertain | Unpredictable delivery β inflates send count without reliable results |
| Role-based |
