Yes, several things. As planned, this is likely to damage your main domain within days.
**1. Don't send from your main domain.**
One bad campaign can hurt deliverability for everything on that domain: client emails, invoices, password resets. Buy 4-6 lookalike secondary domains (e.g. `getyouragency.com`, `tryyouragency.com`), redirect them to your site, and set up SPF, DKIM, and DMARC (start at `p=none`) on each. Keep your main inbox for normal business mail.
**2. 300 a day from one inbox is roughly 10x too much.**
A safe starting point is 20-30 sends per mailbox per day, with 2-3 mailboxes per domain. For 300 a day you need about 12 mailboxes across 4-6 domains. Follow-ups count toward that volume. It's also worth keeping a couple of spare warmed domains in case one burns.
Each mailbox should be a real-looking person with a name, photo, and signature. Don't use aliases of a single mailbox. Buy from Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 directly, or from a reputable provisioning tool, not a cheap reseller.
**3. Next week is too soon.**
New mailboxes need 3-4 weeks of ramp:
- **Weeks 1-2:** warmup only, plus a few real emails to people likely to reply.
- **Weeks 3-4:** start cold sends at 5-10 a day per mailbox and increase gradually.
Realistically, you'll reach 300 a day around week 5-6. Use the wait to build and verify your list and write the copy.
**4. Turn open tracking off.**
Apple Mail Privacy Protection makes opens meaningless, and the tracking pixel is itself a spam signal. One large sender dataset found reply rates roughly doubled with it off. Track replies, positive replies, and meetings instead. Leave click tracking off too.

**Other things to do before the first send:**
- **Verify the list** right before upload and keep bounces under 2%. Pause any campaign that passes that.
- **Send plain text** with no images or HTML. Put no link in email 1 and at most one in later emails. Keep the first email under about 80 words.
- **Include an opt-out line and your postal address** (CAN-SPAM requires both). For example: "If this isn't relevant, reply 'no' and I won't follow up."
- **Vary the copy** by segment. Identical bodies across hundreds of sends look like bulk mail.
- **Set stop-loss rules now:** pause if bounces exceed 2%, pull a mailbox if inbox placement drops below about 70%, and stop a campaign if the reply rate is under about 1% after 300+ sends. Scaling volume won't fix a weak offer or bad targeting.
- **Monitor** with Google Postmaster Tools, a weekly seed placement test, and a blocklist check.
**Consider starting smaller.**
For an agency, 300 a day isn't necessarily the right goal. Tighter segments (50 contacts or fewer per campaign) with a value-first angle usually beat volume. For example, email 1 names one specific thing you noticed on their page and asks if they'd like the rest, with no link. That also protects deliverability.
I can help draft the first email and follow-up sequence once you tell me who you're targeting and what your agency does.
