Sales reps spend 40% of their day writing cold emails with only 1-3% reply rates. Manual personalization doesn't scale, but generic templates get flagged as spam. SDR teams burn out writing hundreds of emails that go unopened.

AI email tools are booming as sales teams seek to scale personalized outreach. Lavender raised $14.2M, Regie.ai raised $65.6M, and Jasper hit $88M revenue.
