Understanding Campaign Stats

3 min readUpdated 2026-07-18

Key Takeaway

A reply rate of 3-8% is average for cold B2B outreach; 8-15% is good; anything above 15% is excellent. Bounce rate must stay below 2% or the campaign auto-pauses. Hot leads are the highest-priority metric, respond within 24 hours.

Key Metrics Explained

Emails Sent

Total outreach emails delivered to leads' inboxes. This excludes bounced emails. Your agent sends up to your plan's daily limit (Trial: 10, Pro: 50, Ultra: 150) each day.

Reply Rate

The percentage of emails that received a reply. Industry benchmarks for cold outreach:

  • 1-3%: Below average, review your targeting or messaging
  • 3-8%: Average for cold B2B outreach
  • 8-15%: Good, your targeting and messaging are working
  • 15%+: Excellent, your agent has found a strong angle

Hot Leads

Leads who responded with clear buying signals (asking about pricing, availability, requesting a meeting). These are your highest-priority opportunities. Aim to respond within 24 hours.

Bounce Rate

Percentage of emails that couldn't be delivered. Must stay under 2% or the campaign auto-pauses. LeadClaw verifies all emails before sending, so bounces should be rare.

Leads Generated

Total leads found by your agent matching your campaign criteria. Not all leads will be contacted, your agent prioritizes the best-fit leads first.

Improving Performance

If your stats are below average:

  1. Narrow your audience: More specific targeting = better responses
  2. Refine your goal: Clear, specific goals produce better outreach
  3. Review your business profile: Make sure your offerings are well-described
  4. Check your tone: Friendly and specific beats formal and generic
