Second bakery going into Aspen. The layout isn’t final, and it’s not clear anyone has checked it against the equipment.
More of your best clients.
You only pay when they want to talk.
Defrost finds companies likely to need you, and writes to each one. You approve every email.
$300 per new company that wants to talk. No subscription or setup fee.
The quiet months start in the busy ones.
Most of your clients found you through referrals, but you can’t choose when they come. When client work is pouring in, there’s no time to look for the next client. A few months later, it shows.
Defrost keeps going while you’re busy. All we need from you is a few minutes, a few days a week, to approve what we wrote.
Most companies don’t need you this month.
So for each company that fits, Defrost checks for reasons to need you, like a new location or a deadline, and only writes when it finds one.
Your reputation stays in your hands.
It’s your name on every email, so nothing leaves until you’ve approved it. Change any word, or don’t send it at all.
You see why we wrote
The person, the reason and the exact words, before anything is sent.
We remember how you like things said
Tell us once, or show us an email you’re proud of, and the next draft takes it into account.
Saying no is free
Turn down any email and that company hears nothing from you.
Everything around the email, taken care of.
Protecting your name takes more than a good email. Here’s what happens around each one.
- Your clients are left alone. Tell us who you already work with, and they never get an email.
- Every fact about them has a source. If we can’t point to where it came from, it isn’t in the email.
- A few at a time, in their working hours. Never in bulk.
- A reply stops everything. Nobody gets a follow-up after they’ve answered.
- One request is enough. Anyone who asks not to hear from you never does again.

How Defrost is different.
Most sales tools and agencies are built to help you send more emails. We’re paid when a new company wants to talk, so it’s worth our while to put more into each email.
| Others | Defrost | |
|---|---|---|
| Who does the work | You do, or an agency does for a monthly fee. | We do: the finding, the writing, the sending and the follow-ups. |
| Who gets an email | Anyone who matches filters like industry and job title. | Only companies that fit and have a reason to need you. |
| What they read | Mostly templates, with their name and company filled in. | An email about their situation, in your voice. |
| Who sees it first | Often not you. Once it’s running, emails go out on their own. | You. Every email waits for your approval. |
| What you pay for | Usually a monthly plan or retainer, paid whether or not anyone answers. | A new company that wants to talk. Nothing until then. |
Built for firms where a few new clients make the year.
You’re a good fit if:
- You sell your expertise to other businesses.
- A new client is worth thousands to you.
- You have clients you’re proud of, and room for more.
- You’re based in the US.
Not the right fit if you have a sales team that writes and sends its own emails. Sales email software is built for that.
Fair questions
Is this cold email?
Yes, in that the people we write to haven’t heard from you before. That’s why we only write when there’s a reason, and why every email is written for the company it goes to.
Why would you pass on a company I want to reach?
Because a first email at the wrong moment is easy to ignore, and hard to come back from. We’d rather wait until there’s a reason to write.
What do I have to do?
Tell us what you do, once. Then look over the week’s emails and approve the ones you’d send yourself. When someone replies, the conversation is yours.
Is it written by AI?
Yes. AI researches each company and drafts each email from what you’ve told us about your business. You decide what goes out.
What if nobody replies?
You pay nothing. The research and the writing are on us, so we’re choosy about who we take on.
You look after your clients.
We’ll find who needs you next.
Applying takes about three minutes and no card. If you’re a fit, we’ll tell you where we’d start.
