Why does every salesperson need a mailbox reputation tool like Mailivery?
If you're in sales, your ability to reach prospects directly in their inbox is everything. But even the best cold email campaigns fail if they end up in the spam or promotions folder. This is where Mailivery comes in.
Mailivery is more than just a warmup tool—it’s a mailbox reputation management system that helps you build and maintain trust with email service providers. It works in the background to ensure your email activity appears natural, consistent, and trustworthy—exactly what spam filters are looking for.
Mailivery connects to your mailbox and sends cold emails to a network of other mailboxes it manages. Since it also controls those other mailboxes, it can monitor exactly where your email lands—Inbox, Spam, or Promotions.
If your message ends up in Spam or Promotions, Mailivery will:
Move it to the inbox
Mark it as trusted
Reply to it naturally
These actions send positive signals to email service providers (like Gmail, Outlook, etc.), helping your mailbox appear legitimate and trustworthy.

Why Response Rate Matters
Spam filters often use response rate as a key signal. A healthy, trustworthy mailbox typically has an average reply rate of 5% to 10%. However, cold emails tend to get much lower engagement—around 1%, which looks suspicious to filters.
By artificially increasing your overall response rate through realistic, natural replies, Mailivery "trains" spam filters to trust your sending behavior. This increases your chances of consistently landing in your prospects’ primary inbox.
It’s Not Just About “Warming Up”
There’s a common misconception that once you "warm up" your mailbox, you're good to go. That idea comes from email marketing—not cold outreach.
In truth, your goal isn’t to just warm up a mailbox, but to maintain a natural-looking response rate over time. That’s what helps build a lasting sender reputation.
Mailivery supports this by simulating real conversations with your outbound emails, keeping your engagement metrics at a healthy level. But once you turn it off, that support stops—and your response rate drops back to abnormal. As a result, you may quickly end up back in spam.
The Bottom Line
If you're a salesperson relying on cold outreach, a reputation tool like Mailivery isn’t optional—it’s essential.
It helps you:
Build and protect your sender reputation
Land more emails in the inbox
Avoid spam filters
Maintain consistent deliverability over time
With Mailivery, you're not just “warming up” your mailbox—you’re actively managing its reputation, making your outreach more effective and reliable.
