Six steps

Each step comes with the sentence you can copy into Apex, and what Apex does with it.

Introduction and first search
asks what your company offers and to whom. From that, it finds the companies worth writing to and tells you why. On the free plan (Apex Free) you can search, open 10 companies in total, and build a campaign and its letters too. Sending the letters and handling the replies start with a paid plan. It is worth excluding your existing customers by their before the first search: send Apex their domains or a file, or add them under Customer acquisition › with the reason . That way they receive no campaign letters, and searches do not bring them up.

Choosing a plan
You can send campaign letters on a paid plan. If you work alone, Apex Start (€99) or Apex Pro (€249) usually fits, per month, plus VAT, with no minimum term. The two plans do the same things; Pro comes with a larger . The allowance shows how much work Apex can do for you in a week. You pay for the plan by bank card.

Connecting the mailbox
Campaign letters go out from a mailbox, which the interface calls a . We recommend a new mailbox used only for campaign mail: on your company's domain, in your own name, for example [email protected] (or a shorter variant if that is taken), rather than a such as sales@ or info@. It should be a full, separate mailbox, not an alias of another one: mail providers see aliases as a single account, so several aliases all weigh on the reputation of one mailbox. Apex reads only this mailbox: it reads and sorts every incoming letter, using your . It does not touch your existing mail. You connect the mailbox yourself, in your own account, and Apex guides you step by step; you never need to send your sign-in details to anyone. Apex also checks your domain's settings and, if something is missing, tells you what to set up with your domain provider.

The first campaign
Apex puts a campaign together from the results and writes the letters. The campaign is created switched off and starts only when you launch it with the .

Frequently asked questions

What most people ask in this situation.

I have a Gmail address. What do I need to sign in?

Your own with a mailbox on it. You buy the domain, for example sampleltd.co.uk, from a domain registrar. You create the mailbox with a mail provider, such as Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, or through your web host's email service. Companies take mail from a company's own domain more seriously, and it is also more likely to reach the inbox. Your provider's customer support or an IT specialist can help you set it up.

Does Apex read my old mail too?

reads only the connected mailbox. If you create a new mailbox for your campaigns, your usual mail stays untouched.

How is the mailbox connected if your sign-in details stay with you?

For a Microsoft mailbox, you give permission by signing in once. For a Google mailbox, you enter a separate app password, which you create in your Google account. With other providers, you enter the mailbox's username and password. Whatever you enter or authorise is stored securely and encrypted; only the system uses it, for your mail, and Trendizz staff will never ask you for it. The Security and data protection page has the details.

Is it allowed to write to companies?

In line with the GDPR, Apex is built exclusively for business-to-business (B2B) sales: it contacts only companies and uses the business contact details they have published. The sender of the letters is your company. Each company's record has a Legitimate interest record that shows why contacting that company is lawful, and it is also available as a PDF. The rules are set out in the General Terms and Conditions.

Do I need a separate CRM?

No. Trendizz has what you need for sales: each company's record holds every letter, call and task, and the company's . Prospects who come in by phone or another way can be handled here too: tell Apex, and it opens the company's record by its domain (even if the company is not yet in our database), logs the call, and sets the owner and the task.

Who can you ask for help?

Apex, at any time, in your own language. If Apex cannot help, it prepares a Support request together with you. During working hours, Central European Time, we usually reply within a few hours.

Pitfalls

What most people run into, and how to avoid it.

No campaign sending on Apex Free

Free is for trying things out; campaigns start with a paid plan. The companies you open on Free stay with you after you change plans.

Without a plan, campaign letters wait

If the plan ends or a payment fails, the letters wait and nothing is lost. Once the plan is sorted out, sending resumes.

A new mailbox starts slowly

In the first few weeks, letters go out at the pace so that the mailbox builds a good reputation.

Basics for this situation

If you want to look behind a step.

Who gets the task from a reply

The owner of the contacted company gets it; if there is none, the mailbox owner does.

Open
