Trust beats tactics
Delphi sorting a pile of email
A list 12 addresses
The short version

You may not send email. Someone you work with definitely does.

I clean email lists. Not because yours is bad, but because every list ages, even the well kept ones.

One

Most of any email list lives with four companies.

The web One standard. Everyone follows it.
Email One set of rules per provider. Nobody wrote them down for you, and they change them whenever they like.

Which is why almost nobody does this for a living.

Two

Did you know a quarter of your list dies every year?

Most of it never bounces. You just stop hearing back.

A complaint often never reaches you at all.

And some of those opens were software, not a person.

Business data that goes stale every year 22 to 30% Dun & Bradstreet
Workers who have been in their job under a year, each one leaving a work address behind 22% US Bureau of Labor Statistics
Four reasons this happens. Three come from the providers themselves.
  • Google reserves the right to delete an account left unused for two years.Google Account Help
  • An open can be recorded by software rather than by a person, and your own reports cannot tell you which. How often varies by inbox, and it moves.Apple documented one way this happens
  • Yahoo and Microsoft both tell senders, in writing, to remove invalid addresses to protect sender reputation.Yahoo Sender Best Practices · Outlook sender requirements
  • And people simply walk away from an address once it drowns in spam, or because they only ever gave it to you for the discount code.What I see on every list

So we go through it and clean it up.

Maintenance, not a diagnosis. Everybody needs it eventually.

Spam filters can see them.
You cannot.

None would have bounced. None would have unsubscribed. Every address gets a verdict and the reason behind it, which makes it the one thing here you actually control.

And you make more per email.

You pay for fewer sends, and more of them arrive.

What changes A clean often moves a client to a cheaper plan. Sometimes two tiers down.
How often Every month after, for as long as the list stays clean.
What it costs Less than one month of what they were overpaying.

I have never seen a first clean come out behind.

And

Sometimes nothing is wrong.

Then I say so, and send you no invoice.

Ask for a pre-check first and I will tell you roughly how much of it looks risky. If it is tiny, do not buy anything.

Six ways we can work together

Which one are you?

Delphi answering a question
Something broke
Email SOS Hotline
Free, right now

Tell me what your email is doing. I will tell you what is actually wrong. No pitch afterwards.

Use the hotline

Delphi cleaning a list
You have a list
A clean
First 1,000 free

Send a CSV. Get it back with a verdict on every address. A validator tells you an address exists. I tell you whether to send to it. No form, no signup.

How it works

Delphi testing where mail lands
You want to test me
A big trial
25,000, by arrangement

Tell me what you want it for. I clean up to 25,000 addresses. The trade is an honest opinion back.

Ask me about it

Delphi with an open treasure chest
You know someone
A referral
15%, the directory, or both

Take the commission on anything that comes from you. Or a place in the directory. Or both.

Partner arrangement

Delphi approving a finished list
You have clients
Resell it
Your price, not mine

Clean your clients' lists under your own name. Charge what you like. Some partners fold it into a retainer and never mention me. That is fine.

Talk about reselling

We do similar work
A swap
An even trade

Writing either way, a webinar, a swap of posts, a link, a podcast. I would rather build something with you than advertise at you.

Tell me your idea

The actual ask

You will hear at least one of these this year, from someone somewhere. Or think it yourself.

"Are we landing in spam? I honestly do not know." "It says delivered, but nobody is opening anything." "We got a list from the event. Can we just send to it?" "How would I even know if we were on a blocklist?" "Who actually owns the newsletter login?"

A list nobody has mailed in six months is not a list anymore. It is a liability with column headers.

Yours to steal. It works without me.

"If the numbers are that unreliable, how do you know?"

Because I helped build them.

I have worked the blocking side. I know what filters look for.

I also know the things senders do that are completely innocent but look identical to a machine. That is how people get penalised for a strategy that made perfect sense. That is the whole job.

We have been doing this a long time. You just have not heard of us, because there are no ads, no billboards and no funding round.
