Automated Cold Email Lead Engine

I need a fully hands-off system that discovers roughly 1,000 new prospects every week in Apollo, rotates them through enough dedicated inboxes to protect sender reputation, and fires off personalised cold-email sequences without me lifting a finger.

The core must include: lead generation, email automation, and rock-solid response tracking. Every prospect should be logged in a central CRM so I always know who was messaged, when, and how they replied. Follow-ups should trigger automatically until a reply lands, at which point the contact switches to a nurture stage and I’m alerted.

Preferred stack
• Apollo for prospect data and list building
• Whitelisted email domains / inbox pool for high-volume sending
• Any reliable automation layer (Zapier, Make, native APIs, Python scripts, etc.) that keeps the flow running 24/7

Key deliverables
1. Workflow design and build, fully documented
2. CRM workspace configured with custom stages for Sent, Opened, Replied, Nurture, Closed
3. Multi-inbox setup, warm-up, and rotation logic
4. Dynamic email templates that pull prospect data from Apollo
5. Dashboard or report that shows weekly send volume, open/click rates, and response status

Acceptance criteria
• System consistently sends 1,000 emails per week with
