Why Mixmax
Sequences that work where agency business development reps already work
Agency BD stalls when the team gets busy with client deliverables. Sequences keep new business outreach running in the background — case studies, results snapshots, and meeting offers going out on schedule while your team focuses on the work that keeps the lights on.
Multi-step sequences inside Gmail
Agency BD works best when it leads with proof — campaign results, client outcomes, category expertise. Build sequences that deliver a results snapshot first, follow with a relevant case study, then offer a strategy session. Each step fires on schedule or adapts when a prospect engages with specific content — a click on your e-commerce case study triggers a follow-up about your DTC expertise.
AI-optimized send timing
Mixmax's Smart Send analyzes when each marketing director is most likely to open and respond — then delivers your sequence emails at that exact window. Marketing agency 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 marketing director 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.
Mixmax gives marketing and growth agencies multi-step email sequences, real-time engagement tracking, AI-optimized send timing, and automatic Salesforce sync — all inside Gmail.

Frequently asked questions
How does Mixmax email sequencing work for marketing agencies?
Mixmax lets agency business development reps 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 marketing director opens or clicks, you get a real-time notification so you can follow up at the right moment. Every touchpoint syncs to Salesforce automatically.
How do agencies balance personalized outreach with the volume needed for BD?
Sequences let you personalize the first touch (tailored to the prospect's industry and challenge), then automate the follow-up cadence with content that builds on that initial personalization. Smart Send ensures each email arrives when the recipient is active. You get the volume of automation with the feel of 1:1 outreach.
How does Mixmax improve reply rates for marketing agency 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 agency business development reps 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.
Can I build different sequences for different types of agency services?
Yes. Build separate sequences for each service line — a content marketing sequence that leads with traffic growth case studies, a paid media sequence that leads with ROAS data, a brand strategy sequence that leads with repositioning examples. Enroll prospects into the sequence that matches their need.
Our BD team is two people — is Mixmax worth it for a small agency?
Especially for a small team. Two BD reps can't manually follow up with every prospect while also doing proposals, pitches, and client work. Sequences handle the cadence so your two people spend their time on qualified conversations, not chasing cold leads. At $49/user/month for Engagement Copilot, it's less than one billable hour of agency time.
How quickly can a marketing agency 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 marketing and growth agencies hit 90% team adoption within the first week because there's no new interface to learn — it's all inside Gmail.
Multi-touch sequences your team actually runs
Keep agency new business running even when the team is heads-down on client work. Results-first sequences with AI timing — all from Gmail.
