DutchSave Media, founded by Sander Poolman, is a cold email lead generation agency based in the Netherlands. Specializing in B2B marketing, DutchSave Media has previously worked with diverse industries, including E-learning, SaaS, and software development.
However, they have now honed their focus exclusively on B2B outreach, aiming to book meetings directly for their clients while handling the entire lead generation process—from CRM management to follow-ups with significant prospects.
For DutchSave Media’s clients, the primary challenge was always lead quality. Businesses wanted more than just a list of leads—they needed sales-qualified leads that would convert into revenue.
This gap between acquiring generic leads and securing qualified, engaged prospects drove Sander to explore more sophisticated solutions that could ensure higher-quality leads and direct meeting bookings.
Sander first encountered cold email marketing while building a social media marketing (SMM) agency. He realized that cold email outreach could be a game-changer for him and his clients in generating qualified leads.
After testing multiple cold email outreach tools, Sander discovered Smartlead through cold email communities and found it to be a superior option due to its extensive feature set and high level of automation.
DutchSave Media has been using Smartlead for two months, and its results have already been impressive.
Sander chose Smartlead over other tools due to its range of powerful features. Key highlights include:
Smartlead’s White Labeling feature stood out as a major advantage for DutchSave Media. It allowed clients to log in to their accounts, view campaign performance, check real-time analytics, and monitor lead interactions. The ability to customize and provide a branded experience greatly enhanced client trust and transparency.
Setting up inboxes, campaigns, and subsequences was seamless with Smartlead, making it easy to optimize deliverability. This helped DutchSave Media ensure that emails were reaching their intended recipients.
Various automated features simplify complex campaign processes, saving time and boosting efficiency.
One of DutchSave Media’s notable successes was for a client in the E-learning industry. With Smartlead’s advanced capabilities, they managed to:
Sander highlights Smartlead’s email deliverability feature as a key contributor to this success. He shares,
“One of the things I love about using Smartlead is the deliverability feature. It helps us understand where our emails landed and whether they reached our target audience. Smartlead offered a quick view of this, and if they landed in the bounce or spam folders, we could resolve this quickly with the help of the Smartlead team and their Slack community.”
Even though Sander has only been using Smartlead for a short period, he is already seeing significant benefits for both his agency and his clients. He is eager to explore Smartlead’s new SmartDelivery and SmartSenders solutions and is particularly excited about the upcoming Smartlead White Labeling app.
Smartlead has proven to be an essential tool for DutchSave Media, enabling them to overcome lead quality challenges and achieve substantial client success. With Smartlead’s continuous innovation and customer-focused enhancements, DutchSave Media is poised for further growth and excellence in delivering high-quality, sales-qualified leads.
Higher-quality lead generation requires great tools to help you reach your goals. DutchSave Media’s success demonstrates that Smartlead is that tool.

With SmartDelivery, you can put all of that in the hands of the tool. It ensures your emails land in inboxes, and by running a simple test, you can see if you're hitting the mark.
Founder, Claygen
Deliverability is the cornerstone of cold email outreach. You could have the best email copy in the world, but if no one is seeing it, it's useless. I really love the feature where you can actually give client accesses to your clients.

Co-Founder, letstrike
We've grown on zero capital, zero marketing, purely cold emailing - and that's the story we love to tell. The best approach is no approach if you can't handle domain meltdown. The second best is something like Smartlead that's built from the ground up for deliverability at scale.

At the end of the day, you have to take a bet on one tool or another. It was a no-brainer taking that bet on Smartlead. We had to even turn down the volume of our marketing campaigns - Smartlead was capable of driving more volume than our sales team was able to fulfill.
