EMAIL DELIVERABILITY EXPERT - Get More Of Your Emails Delivered, Seen, Opened, Read, and Clicked

The most common email deliverability questions we answer in regards to email infrastructure.

Email Infrastructure - Consists of the moving parts that ensure your marketing and transactional emails are delivered to your recipient. They consist of your Sender IP(s), Domain Reputation, Proper Email Authentication, Feedback Loops, Reporting and Management Tools, etc.

Email Authentication - DKIM, SPF, and DMARC - Mailbox providers are tightening their security protocols, making email authentication more important. Proper authentication of DKIM and SPF is a must. Setting your DMARC policy to "Quarantine" or "Reject" shows the mailbox providers you are serious about protecting your email from phishing and spoofing attacks.

Sender IP - Two types: Shared IPs & Dedicated IPs. Sender IPs are the location from which your emails are sent, and play a big role in where mailbox providers place your emails. If your Sender IP Reputation is high, you will have good email deliverability. If it is poor, your emails are most likely to end up in spam or blocked. The quality of the Sender IPs you are assigned is the luck of the draw. ESPs are unlikely to change them, once they are assigned. If you are sending a high volume of emails, and following best email practices, we advise purchasing a Dedicated IP.

Domain Reputation - Similar to the IP address, the sending domain carries a reputation that affects deliverability. To protect your mail domain, we advise setting up subdomains for different email functions. For example, support.store.com for customer service requests and transactional emails, info.store.com for marketing emails. This way if your subdomain for marketing emails gets compromised (low engagement, spam complaints, etc.) it will not affect your transactional emails.

Periodically run your Sender IPs and Sender Domain through a blacklist checker, such as MX Toolbox, to make sure that they are not flagged for spam or other complaints that would lead to blacklisting.

Email Deliverability Consultant | Email Authentication | Sender IP | Domain Reputation

The most common email deliverability questions we answer in regard to email engagement and list segmentation.

Sender History - Your email history plays a role in where your emails will be placed. How your subscribers have engaged with your emails. If your Domain and Sender IPs have been on any Blacklists. If you have a history of Spam Complaints. The age of your Domain.

Engagement - Mailbox providers' algorithms track the user engagement of your emails. If subscribers don't open your emails, or repeatedly delete your emails without opening them, that may cause the mailbox provider to filter your emails into a subfolder. Excessive complaints and unsubscribes could cause the mailbox provider from accepting any emails from your company. High email engagement (such as users opening, clicking, and replying) positively impact email deliverability.

Email Volume - The lower your email volume, the less recourses are required by the mailbox providers to process your emails. The mailbox providers are more likely to treat your emails favorably, resulting in high email deliverability.

Email Regularly - Have a regular schedule for sending emails to your list. This is especially important if you mainly send email blasts. Ideally, send emails on a regular day and time. The best days and times to send it are Tues 9:00-11:00 AM, and then Thurs. 9:00-11:00 AM.

List Segmentation - Use email automation to segment your list and send emails based on subscriber behavior. Doing this will increase subscriber engagement. As well, send emails out in much smaller batches, which puts less strain on the mailbox provider's resources, resulting in higher email deliverability.

Email Engagement | List Segmentation

The most common email deliverability questions we answer in regard to why emails go into spam because of email copy/content.

List Quality - Add subscribers to your list that want to hear from you. Use double opt-in vs. single opt-in. Move unengaged subscribers to a re-engagement list after 60 days, and remove them after 120 days.

Content - Spammy/salesy copy is more likely to get your emails placed in the promotional folder than the spam folder. But today, email code is more closely scrutinized. Mailbox providers want to see clean code in your emails. Avoid potentially malicious code, such as <embed> tags or JavaScript. Ensure the code from any third-party apps you are using has clean code. Check the domain reputation of any links in your body copy. Do not use link shorteners.

Bounces and Spam Traps - Verify all emails before you start emailing them to ensure there aren't any spam traps. Remove emails that frequently bounce.

Spam Complaints - Keep your spam complaints low (under 0.1%). If you make it difficult for subscribers to unsubscribe, they will mark your email as spam. Place your unsubscribe link(s) in places that are easy to see. Remove inactive subscribers from your main list after 60 days of inactivity. Subscribe to Google Postmaster Tools. 

Using All CAP (subject line or body copy) - Using all CAPs or excessive punctuation in the subject line or body of your emails raises a red flag and can get your emails placed in the promotional folder (at best) or the spam folder (at worst), and possibly blocked.

Subject Lines - 47% of email recipients open their emails solely based on the subject line alone, while 69% of recipients report spam emails based on the subject line. (Source: Grammarly)

Advisor

Leader of the Genuine Connections Revolution | Helping Service Providers, Entrepreneurs, and Sales Professionals Build Authentic Relationships | Author of "No More Cringe” | Changing the Way We do Business on LinkedIn

I’m Ed Forteau, Business Growth Strategist, Community Builder, and Creator of The Strategic Ally Method.

I help relationship-driven entrepreneurs attract high-value clients…without chasing, cold pitching, or playing the content hamster wheel game.

If you’re great at what you do, but feel like sales turns you into someone you’re not, you're not broken.

You’ve just been sold the wrong playbook.

Most of my clients come to me feeling stuck.

They’re burned out from outreach that goes nowhere.

They hate the pressure to perform on social media.

And they’re tired of trying to be “everywhere” just to get noticed.

What I teach flips the script:

✅ Start warm, low-pressure conversations that naturally lead to business

✅ Tap into the trust you’ve already earned to unlock hidden opportunities

✅ Show up as a Strategic Ally, not another sales person or content clone

✅ Build “quiet authority” without shouting for attention

✅ Use simple, human systems that work even when you’re not online

Here’s a story I hear all the time:

A client spent months tweaking cold email campaigns.

They saw early wins…until everything stopped working.

Low replies. Spam folder black holes. Endless fixing.

They tried my method. DMed just ten warm messages to mutual connections of people they knew.
Two booked calls. One became a client.

Then came momentum.

They told me, “This just feels…different. Lighter.”

I said, “It’s less work than trying to save a sinking ship.”

That’s the shift:

From pushing and persuading to connecting and converting.

From guessing what strangers want to showing up where you’re already trusted.

You don’t need to become someone else to grow your business.

You just need a better way.

That’s why I created The Genuine Connection Alliance. It’s a private community for relationship-first entrepreneurs.

Inside, you’ll learn my frameworks, build a powerful support system, and attract clients through trust, not tactics.

It’s where my best clients come from, because they experience the method before they ever hire me.

If you believe business can be built through conversations, connection, and real value, let’s talk.

Or better yet, let’s start a conversation that leads to something real.

💬 DM me the word “Alliance” and I’ll send you the Genuine Connection Alliance overview doc. It might be the missing piece you’ve been looking for.

You're not a Zombie (Yet!)

"The first step for you is to sharpen your intellect and not buy anything that is presented without question. To wake yourself up, skeptical thinking and critical questioning are extremely important. Otherwise, you are completely helpless. You are just being fed through an intravenous system. So let us not be in the hospital! Let us be full, living persons who could think critically, work it out, and understand, and question anything we do not understand."  -- Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche

Wear a mask. Don't wear a mask.
Get a vaccine. Don't get a vaccine.
Send my kids to school. Don't send my kids to school.

Wake up, people! The media industrial complex will NOT help you answer these questions.

Like Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, my father encouraged me to question everything.
I'm so grateful for that.

However, it's not an easy way to live. You have to do research. Sometimes you have to read difficult scientific papers with jargon that sounds like aliens penned it. And, yes, sometimes you have actually to talk to people outside your cozy cocoon. People who may think differently than you do and who will disagree with you. Sacre bleu!

Being curious and a bit skeptical tends to annoy your family and friends.

Generally, you will NOT be invited to many cocktail parties (on the left or the right of the political spectrum).

The establishment might even execute you (literally or metaphorically). Like they did Socrates.
It's easier to just "plug in" the television each night and get your daily infusion of whatever they feed you that evening.

That is not wisdom. That's called being a Zombie.

Another part of being a Zombie is losing your connection with yourself, including – and maybe even especially – your sense of gentleness and kindness for yourself and your wellbeing.

I've put together this collection of essays in which I share some of my learning, in some cases painful learning, along with some of the wisdom and practices that have helped me avoid Zombie-hood.

A Life with Peace and Tranquility

We live in uncertain and turbulent times. Things wear out. Experiences fade. Circumstances change. Structures are unstable. People and pets get sick and die.

Living in a turbulent world with peace and tranquility requires that you "get your mind right." That means slowing down, silencing your inner critic, and accepting what is – especially dealing with the difficult emotions that arise when you confront volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity.

I wrote this book for (and dedicate it to) all who want to get their mind[s] right in order to be at peace.

The Stoic Way of Leadership

My father liked to describe himself as "Stoic by philosophy and Catholic by religion." His life was infused by teachings from both traditions.

In the Stoic philosophical tradition, he was well acquainted with the work of the Greek philosopher Epictetus (including the “Enchiridion”) and the life of the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius as it was expressed in his “Meditations.”

As a tribute to my father, I created a series of dialogues between Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius in an eBook for living and leading in the modern era entitled: “The Stoic Way of Leadership”. 

In the book, I share how the Ancient Philosopher and the Roman Emperor would respond to modern questions of leadership from their stoic perspective.

The questions are mine, and their responses are from the Enchiridion and the Meditations.

Jiu-Jitsu Competitor

I slept-walked through most of my early adult life. 

Conscious in one sense, unconscious in another.

Then, I encountered inner work. 

What a difference that made!

Now, many years later...

I use all my knowledge, courage, compassion, and wisdom to help folks flourish and thrive.

Especially those in transition, a new role, challenging environments, or difficult situations.

-Stop sabotaging themselves
-Become less reactive
-Lean into vulnerability and create trust
-Tap into their zone of genius
-Increase resilience and self-compassion
-Improve communications with peers, subordinates, and their boss or board
-Raise their self-awareness

Clients describe me as "gently-fierce!"  

If you hire me as your coach, I will be completely (and confidentially) in your corner.  

That's my promise.  

Don't take my word for it. 

Read the testimonials on my profile from delighted clients.

And, then...

My background includes experience as an:

In the for-profit world, I led market research, product development, sales, and marketing initiatives. 

My experience culminated in transforming a division of an entrepreneurial company in San Francisco, where I built and led a team of three dozen researchers, artists, engineers, and marketing managers.
