# Get started with ColdMeetings in five steps

The five steps from sign-up to a launched campaign: plan, sending domains, mailboxes, prospect import and campaign launch.

Five steps take an account from sign-up to a launched campaign.

- **One account for the whole flow.** Domains, mailboxes, prospects, sequences and replies are run from the same place, so nothing is passed between tools.
- **Limits are published before you pay.** Prices, monthly credits and quotas are on the pricing page and read from the same plan configuration the product uses.
- **A person on the other end.** Questions go by email to a real inbox, and you can read the quickstart on your own at any time.

## The five steps

1. **Choose a plan and start your account.** Email hello@coldmeetings.com with the plan you want: Professional, or Enterprise on a call. We set up your account and your first API key, your plan and its monthly prospect credits start when your payment is confirmed, and domains and mailboxes can be added from then on.
2. **Add your sending domains.** Enter each domain you will send from, publish the SPF, DKIM and DMARC records you are given, then run the check until every record passes. Mail only leaves from domains that pass, and they should be separate from your main website domain.
3. **Create mailboxes on those domains.** Add the mailboxes that will send, up to your plan limit. Each one starts at a small daily limit and rises with its age, using real messages to real prospects.
4. **Import your prospects.** Upload your list. Every address is verified, duplicates and blocked addresses are skipped, and each prospect you import uses one prospect credit.
5. **Build the campaign and launch it.** Write the sequence (up to 6 steps), choose the mailboxes and the prospects, and launch. A final check confirms the sequence, the prospects and an authenticated mailbox before anything is sent. Replies come back to one place.
