A solo cold-email agency owner's 90-minute Monday morning audit
A running a cold-email agency in Denver for three years manages it with just himself and one (VA), who handles roughly 60% of the actual work. The agency runs cold-email campaigns for 14 clients: 13 B2B SaaS companies and one staffing company.
What made the stable wasn't a new tool or , but a Monday-morning audit routine that catches problems before they turn into disasters. Every Friday afternoon, the VA pulls raw numbers from the email-sending tool and the inbox into a shared .
Then every Monday morning, the owner goes through all 14 client accounts in the same order, checking the same things, mostly just reading the prepped numbers and flagging issues. The whole process takes about 90 minutes for all 14 clients.
