Project Description
UK Cold Email Freelancer — One-Off B2B Send (Trial Project)
Project type
Single campaign, one-off. If it goes well, there's potential for ongoing work — but no commitment either way.
Budget
£100–200 fixed price, depending on volume and your setup.
What we need
A one-off cold email send to our squeaky-clean B2B list of senior management decision makers, using a CSV file with two Customised Paragraphs for each contact:
List size: approximately 1000-2000 verified UK B2B contacts (we provide the list, already verified)
Copy: we provide the email (1 initial + 1 follow-up). Happy to take your input but not asking you to write from scratch.
Sending: Plain-Text emails through your own warmed-up infrastructure — Google Workspace or M365 mailboxes, NOT a shared ESP like Mailjet or SendGrid
Reporting: basic metrics at the end (sent, delivered, bounces, opens, replies)
Hard requirements
UK-based. Please state your city in your application.
You own warmed-up sending infrastructure already. This is a one-off — we're not paying for you to provision and warm new domains for our campaign.
Real cold email experience. Not just "I can use Mailchimp." Specifically experience with Smartlead, Instantly, Lemlist, or equivalent.
GDPR/PECR aware. B2B legitimate interest basis — you should know what that means.
Questions for your application
Please answer briefly:
Where in the UK are you based?
What sending tool and infrastructure will you use?
Roughly how many cold campaigns have you run in the past year?
What's a realistic inbox placement rate I should expect for a one-off send to a verified UK B2B list?
How will you handle replies — do they come back to me directly, or via you?
Include "Trial-2026" at the top of your application so I know you've read this.
What I will NOT do
Use my own corporate domain or ESP for sending
Pay for a list (I have one)
Commit to ongoing work based on this trial — let's see how it goes first
Timeline
Looking to send within the next 2 weeks. Quick turnaround preferred.
