Sender Reputation Budget
Sender Reputation Budget treats every agency's outbound capacity as a finite, shared asset rather than an unlimited channel. Each mailbox, domain, and LinkedIn profile carries a reputation balance that depletes with volume, bounces, spam complaints, and duplicate sends, and refills only through consistent engagement and time. Agencies that scale cadences without tracking that balance hit a wall: reply rates fall, inbox placement drops, and the client blames the sequence copy instead of the infrastructure. The framework forces a split between capacity planning (how many sends the reputation can absorb) and copy optimization (what those sends say). Amplemarket and Salesloft both ship deliverability tooling because the constraint is real, and Artisan's autonomous BDR still inherits whatever domain reputation the agency hands it. Treat reputation as a budget line item: measure it weekly, cap sends against it, and never let two clients share a sending domain without explicit consent.
