Yet most campaigns fail because of one or more of these 7 hidden killers:

1. Bad Company Targeting

You are targeting the wrong vertical, or the right vertical at the wrong time

Fix: Use Scrapeamax to build intent-based lists (e.g., “HVAC companies in Florida with 100+ Google reviews” or “SaaS using Intercom + Stripe”)

2. Low Quality Emails

Bounced emails means damaged domain + wasted effort

Fix: Every list from Scrapeamax is ready to validate via MillionVerifier or ZeroBounce, keep bounce rates <2%.

3. Saturated Data Sources

Apollo, ZoomInfo, Lusha… everyone’s hitting the same leads. Response fatigue is real.

Fix: Scrapeamax pulls data from unique sources like GMB, BuiltWith, Latka, Clutch, and Trustpilot clean, niche, unsaturated.

4. Wrong People at the Right Company

You found the company but emailed the intern.

Fix: After scraping, enrich with Clay or Findymail to pull decision makers (e.g., Head of Marketing, Founder, COO, etc.).

5. Tech Stack Mismatch

Your product needs them to use Shopify but they are on Magento.

Fix: Scrapeamax’s BuiltWith scraping lets you filter based on technologies used, no guessing.

6. Lack of Personalization Triggers

Generic intros do not land. You need hooks.

Fix: Scrapeamax lists come with data points like review count, ratings, funding, tech stack, location great for first line personalization.

7. Wasted Time Building Lists Manually

Your team spends 5+ hours/week just sourcing data.

Fix: Drop a prompt in Scrapeamax’s Slack. We’ll return a cleaned, enriched company list in under 6 to 12 hours.
