Cold email lands in spam when you sell to dental practices
Is your last campaign sitting in spam folders right now? Here is how people who sell to dental practices fix it.
Is your last campaign sitting in spam folders right now?
Sending a large blast from a fresh domain is a quick way to end up in spam. Many tools push volume first and leave you to deal with the consequences.
It hits harder when you sell to dental practices. Dental practices range from single owner surgeries to groups with several sites and a central office. The principal dentist or a practice manager usually decides on suppliers, and they care about patient experience, compliance and keeping chairs busy.
Emails that land in spam are never read, and a damaged sender reputation also hurts your normal mail. Recovering takes time.
Small batches instead of big blasts.
Riftjaw sends campaigns in small batches, so volume stays gentle. You send a test to yourself first and can pause and resume at any moment. Sending goes through the mail setup of your account, and unsubscribed contacts are skipped automatically.
- Fields that fit dental practices, such as practice manager
- Email prefixes that fit, like info@, reception@, enquiries@ and practice@
- Status, tags and a segment on every record
The fix, step by step
- Send a test. Check how the email looks in your own inbox before anyone else sees it.
- Start small. Pick a focused segment and let the campaign go out in small batches.
- Watch and adjust. Follow the send log and pause if something looks wrong.
Other walls when prospecting dental practices
Generic reception inboxes rarely reach the practice manager.
Store the manager's name in a field when you find it, and use email from domain for role addresses like practice@, marked as guesses.
Group practices appear once per site, so you contact the same group many times.
Add a Part of a group field and tag head office contacts to avoid repeated mails to the same business.
Health businesses are careful about unsolicited mail.
Every record keeps its source and date, unsubscribes are honoured automatically and you can export or delete data on request.
Fields worth recording for dental practices
Any column in your import can become a field. These are the ones worth keeping for dental practices.
| Field | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Company name | The key field. Duplicates are checked on it or on the website. |
| Website | Needed to derive an email when the export has none. |
| Practice manager | The manager often handles suppliers and software. |
| Private or public funded | Funding shapes budgets and priorities. |
| Treatments offered | Implants, orthodontics or cosmetic work each need their own suppliers. |
| Number of surgeries | A simple indicator of size. |
| Part of a group | Group practices often buy centrally. |
