How many sales meetings can Supernova AI book per week?

We book between 5 and 20 sales-ready appointments every week with businesses in your target market. The exact volume depends on your plan (Starter, Growth, or Scale) and the ICP we target.

What industries does Supernova AI work with?

We work with B2B companies across more than 300 industries, including IT services and MSPs, SaaS, recruitment, marketing agencies, accounting, financial services, construction, and commercial cleaning. We operate across both the UK and USA.

Do I need to handle the outreach myself?

No. Supernova AI is a fully done-for-you service. We handle the targeting, copywriting, sending, and meeting booking. You only show up to the meeting and close the deal.

What counts as a qualified meeting?

A qualified meeting is a scheduled call with a decision-maker at a company that matches your ideal customer profile, has shown intent to learn more about your service, and has explicitly agreed to attend the meeting.

How quickly can I start receiving meetings?

Most clients see their first booked meetings within 2-3 weeks of campaign launch, following our standard onboarding and ICP definition process.

Best Cold Email Software for B2B in 2026: Tools That Actually Deliver

Cold email is still one of the highest-ROI channels in B2B outreach — but the tool you use matters enormously for deliverability, personalisation, and scale. This guide reviews the leading cold email platforms for B2B in 2026 so you can choose the right one for your outreach strategy.

What to Look for in B2B Cold Email Software

Before comparing tools, understand what actually matters: Email deliverability infrastructure (warming, sending limits, domain rotation), personalisation capabilities (dynamic fields, AI personalisation, liquid syntax), sequence management (multi-step, multi-channel), CRM integration depth, inbox management and reply detection, analytics (open rates, click rates, reply rates, bounces), and compliance (GDPR, CAN-SPAM).

The Top B2B Cold Email Tools in 2026

1. Instantly.ai

Instantly has become the go-to for high-volume cold email senders in 2026. Its standout feature is unlimited sending accounts on its Growth and Hypergrowth plans — critical for agencies and teams sending at scale without destroying their primary domain's reputation. The email warmup pool (over 1 million accounts) is one of the largest available. Deliverability is consistently high. The interface is clean and sequences are easy to build. Pricing starts at around £30/month.

Best for: Teams sending at volume who need deliverability protection across multiple domains.

2. Lemlist

Lemlist pioneered personalised image and video in cold email and remains strong for high-touch, highly personalised outreach. Its LinkedIn steps and call tasks make it a genuine multi-channel platform. Deliverability is solid, and the landing page feature (allowing prospects to book directly from email) is a nice conversion tool. Pricing is higher — from around £45/month — but the personalisation depth justifies it for campaigns targeting senior buyers.

Best for: Smaller, highly targeted campaigns where personalisation matters more than volume.

3. Apollo.io

Apollo combines a B2B contact database (270M+ contacts) with email sequencing in one platform — eliminating the need for a separate prospecting tool. The sequences are capable, CRM integrations are strong, and the analytics dashboard gives good pipeline visibility. The free tier is useful for small teams. Its data quality has improved significantly in the last two years. Pricing from £45/month for the Basic plan.

Best for: Teams who need both data sourcing and email outreach in one tool.

4. Smartlead.ai

Smartlead has grown rapidly as an Instantly competitor. Its unlimited mailbox model and AI-driven email warmup are its core selling points. The master inbox for managing all replies centrally is particularly useful for agencies managing multiple clients. Strong deliverability track record and competitive pricing (from ~£33/month).

Best for: Agencies and teams needing to manage high volumes across many clients or campaigns.

5. Outreach.io

Outreach is an enterprise sales engagement platform — not a cold email tool in the traditional sense. It's built for large sales teams that need workflow automation, deep Salesforce integration, call recording, and revenue intelligence. Powerful but complex, and pricing reflects this (typically £100+/user/month). Overkill for most SMB teams but the right choice for scaling enterprise sales operations.

Best for: Enterprise sales teams with a Salesforce CRM and 10+ person sales org.

Critical Deliverability Practices (Tool-Independent)

No matter which tool you use, these practices are non-negotiable for cold email deliverability in 2026: Warm up all new domains for at least 3–4 weeks before sending. Never send more than 30–50 emails per day per mailbox. Use dedicated sending domains (e.g., getsupernova.ai, meetwithsupernova.com) not your primary domain. Authenticate with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC on every sending domain. Keep bounce rates below 3% and spam complaint rates below 0.1%.

Does Cold Email Still Work in 2026?

Yes — but the game has changed. The days of spray-and-pray cold email are over. What works in 2026 is precision targeting (tight ICPs, verified data), genuine personalisation (not just [FirstName] merge tags), multi-touch sequences (email, LinkedIn, phone), value-first messaging (insights, not pitches), and consistent follow-up (most replies come on message 3–5).

Teams running cold email correctly are seeing reply rates of 8–15% and booking rates of 2–5% of contacts worked. At those rates, a campaign targeting 500 ICP contacts per month generates 10–25 conversations.

When to Use an Agency Instead

Running cold email in-house requires tool investment, dedicated time, copywriting skill, and ongoing optimisation. If your team lacks bandwidth or expertise, a specialist B2B appointment setting agency like Supernova AI manages the entire outreach stack for you — including tooling, data, sequences, and meeting booking.

We book 5–20 qualified sales meetings per week for B2B companies in the UK and USA. Contact us to see how we compare to running cold email yourself.
