@maxogles Yes, we are in the same niche. We actually started working on Reply in August 2014 and then one or two months later Salesloft launched Cadence.
@invinciblesaad Great. We've found it works best when we do a quick 15 minute orientation to help our customers get up and running. Feel free to reach out at oleg@replyapp.io if you have any questions or schedule an orientation call.
@olegcl Hey Oleg, I received your random mass e-mail reg. 'hustling is the name of the game,' that also mentions Product Hunt (which just brought me back here now, trying to figure out why you're sending out e-mails to Product Hunt users), and quite frankly, I think this isn't the right approach you're picking. The e-mail I received from you just now had no unsubscribe link, it didn't have any information on where you got my e-mail from (or where I signed up) and that violates the spam regulations (and makes your company liable to severe fines should anyone decide to step up and do something about it — I know this sounds ridiculous, but trust me, this e-mail you just sent out, that's all someone needs to sue you, and win).
I don't know anything about your product, or how many others you've contacted to promote sales for REPLY and with regards to your upcoming YC interview, but I don't think YC values spamming random people as 'the right kind of hustle.' — Didn't mean to be offensive here, but it's important to know the facts. Especially if your company focuses on email-sales, this is the 101. This is partly my personal opinion, and partly a warning that you may run into your first lawsuit before you've had a chance to get that YC response.
Technical feedback: your site looks great, pricing looks fair, you have all you need to make great things.

@olegcl you know that as a fellow start-up I like this and see the benefit - I also sympathise with commenters saying they are on the receiving end of this and are worried by that.
Whilst it may not eliminate the problem of email recipients choosing to ignore emails they have opened already, perhaps a feature like Sidekick may help the problem to an extent - it notifies the sender when the recipient has opened the email. This could eliminate the issue of spamming a recipient with follow-up emails when they haven't even opened the initial one.

Great product but i had some problem to understand your pricing page (at first i didn't understand that i had to click).
