Your second location in Denver
Hi Dana, congrats on opening the Denver office last month. Teams that double locations usually find intake gets messy fast. We set up AI agents that answer and book every new inquiry in seconds. Worth a 15 minute look?

Cold email deliverability: SPF, DKIM and DMARC
Since 2024, Google and Yahoo require bulk senders to authenticate their mail with SPF and DKIM, publish a DMARC policy, offer one-click unsubscribe on marketing mail and keep spam complaints low. Mail that misses those rules gets filtered or rejected.
We set all of it up on separate sending domains before a single campaign goes out, warm new inboxes up gradually, and keep daily volume per inbox low. Your main domain never sends cold mail, so its reputation stays clean.
LinkedIn outreach without getting restricted
LinkedIn limits how many connection requests an account can send each week, and accounts that push past what looks human get restricted. So we work inside those limits: fewer, better-targeted requests, a profile that makes the request make sense, and messages that read like a person wrote them.
Email and LinkedIn run together, so a prospect sees a name they recognize in both places. Both of the clients below credit LinkedIn outreach in their own words.

They've consistently been able to help me achieve at least 10 booked appointments on my calendar for both of my businesses separately every week for the last six months.
Jacob SnitmanBurke FinancialI don't usually do testimonials for people but we've been able to generate a tremendous amount of additional monthly income with Executive Stride. Their team is super supportive and basically hand you results on a silver platter.
Franky ShawFutrGroupI can personally attribute over $20k/mo of additional monthly income to Josh and the team at Executive Stride with their LinkedIn strategies alone. If you're not working with them I don't know what you're doing.
Stephen GomesRealtor Media LeadsGetting leads is fantastic, we have a small team and actually had too much coming in and I had to reel it back a little bit, which is a good problem to have.

Kas GhorbContent RocketFAQ
Lead Generation & Outreach questions, answered.
Anything else, ask us on the call.
- Will cold email hurt my domain?
- We send from separate domains and warmed-up inboxes, so your main domain and its reputation stay protected.
- Isn't this just spam?
- No. We send to a tight list of people who fit your offer, and every first message opens with something specific about them. Lower volume, higher relevance.
- Do you also do LinkedIn?
- Yes. We run LinkedIn outreach alongside email, so prospects see you in more than one place.
- What happens when someone replies?
- Replies are tracked in StrideOps. Positive ones get a fast response with times to book, and your team is notified.
- How soon will calls start?
- Setup and inbox warm-up come first. Most clients are live in 2 to 3 weeks, and results build as the follow-up steps run.
- Is cold email legal?
- In the US, B2B cold email is allowed under CAN-SPAM as long as the sender is accurate, the subject isn't misleading, there's a physical address and an easy opt-out. Rules are stricter in places like the EU and Canada, so we check where your prospects are before sending.
- Do you use my LinkedIn account?
- Usually yes, or a team member's, because people accept requests from real profiles. We tune the profile first and stay within LinkedIn's limits.
