Why Mixmax
Sequences that work where consulting business developers already work
Consulting BD is a long game — the firm that stays relevant across 6 months of nurture wins the engagement when the need materializes. Sequences keep your thought leadership and invitations in front of executives without partners spending their evenings on manual follow-up.
Multi-step sequences inside Gmail
Consulting BD isn't cold outreach — it's relationship building at scale. Build sequences that deliver industry insights, proprietary frameworks, and event invitations on a cadence that keeps your firm in the conversation. When a VP clicks your benchmarking report, the next step can offer a complimentary diagnostic — personalized but automated.
AI-optimized send timing
Mixmax's Smart Send analyzes when each executive is most likely to open and respond — then delivers your sequence emails at that exact window. Consulting teams using Smart Send see 67% open rates because every message arrives when the recipient is actively in their inbox.
Real-time engagement signals
See who opened, clicked, and replied — in real time, inside Gmail. When a executive engages with step 2 of your sequence, you'll know immediately. That's the moment to pick up the phone or send a personalized follow-up that references exactly what they were looking at.

Frequently asked questions
How does Mixmax email sequencing work for management consulting?
Mixmax lets consulting business developers build multi-step sequences with email, phone, and LinkedIn steps — all from inside Gmail. You set the cadence, personalize each message, and Mixmax handles the timing and tracking. When a executive opens or clicks, you get a real-time notification so you can follow up at the right moment. Every touchpoint syncs to Salesforce automatically.
Can partners and principals use sequences without it feeling mass-marketed?
That's the whole point. Sequences deliver one-to-one content — a relevant industry report, a personal event invitation, a tailored benchmark — on a schedule. The recipient sees a personal email from a named partner, not a marketing blast. Smart Send ensures it arrives when the executive is reading email, not at 9am with every newsletter.
How does Mixmax improve reply rates for consulting outreach?
Three things compound. First, Smart Send delivers each email when that specific recipient is most likely to be in their inbox — that drives 67% open rates. Second, real-time engagement signals tell consulting business developers exactly when to follow up, so they reach out when interest is high. Third, the sequences themselves support personalization at scale, so every message feels like a 1:1 email even when you're running hundreds of contacts through a cadence.
How do we maintain relationship authenticity while automating outreach?
The automation handles timing and follow-through — the content stays authentically yours. Partners write the insights, select the case studies, and craft the invitations. Mixmax ensures those touchpoints reach the right person at the right time across a 6-month nurture cycle. It's not replacing relationship building, it's making sure the relationship touches actually happen.
Can sequences support event-driven BD like conference follow-ups?
Yes. Build a post-conference sequence that starts with a personalized follow-up referencing the conversation, follows with a relevant insight or case study, and closes with a meeting offer. Enroll contacts the day after the event and the cadence runs automatically while you're catching up on client work.
How quickly can a consulting sales team get started with Mixmax sequences?
Mixmax installs as a Gmail extension and connects to Salesforce in minutes. You can build your first sequence and start enrolling contacts the same day. Most consulting firms hit 90% team adoption within the first week because there's no new interface to learn — it's all inside Gmail.
