When Testing Emails in Sales Prophet.

To test your email sequences in SalesProphet you should upload a cvs file of your company contacts.

Make sure to add a header with these minimum fields or attributes:

FirstName, Last Name, Company, Title, Industry and Email Address.

This will allow you to test the most common personalization strings.

This is especially important when using a sub-domain as your sending email address.

Make sure ot add those emails with subdomain to your contact list in G-suite or O365.

This improves your chances of landing in the inbox of your email client.

If you are using Gmail Tabs such as 'Promotions' please open your Promotions tab in Gmail.

If you find an email from your test list in your Gmail Promotions tab:

Grab and drag our email to the Primary Inbox Tab.
