  • Export 10,000 leads from Apollo

  • Add filters for job title, industry and location

  • Hope for the best

Then you are not doing outbound, You are playing email roulette

Why Most Cold Email Lists Suck

The average campaign dies before it starts because:

  • You scraped people with no idea if the company is even a fit

  • The data is outdated or incomplete

  • Everyone else is emailing the same leads

Your copy does not matter if the list is off, No angle, no case study, no CTA can fix it

Enter AI Driven List Building (The Scrapeamax Way)

What if you reversed your workflow? Start with companies first, Context first, Not job titles.

Heres how:

  • Use a natural language prompt to describe your ICP

  • Scrapeamax finds companies from real databases (not LinkedIn fluff)

  • You enrich people from those companies using Clay or Findymail

  • Validate emails, plug into Smartlead, and go live

Real Examples

  • "All Shopify brands using Recharge + Klaviyo in the beauty space"

  • "SaaS companies using Stripe and hiring BDRs in the US/UK"

  • "Law firms in Florida with <10 employees and 100+ Google reviews"

  • "Local service providers (HVAC, plumbing, roofing) with 50+ reviews"

In each case:

  • Scrapeamax sources the companies

  • You enrich with decision makers

  • You email warm, targeted leads

The Tools Behind It

  • Scrapeamax: The core engine to scrape from GMB, BuiltWith, Clutch, Crunchbase, Store Leads, Yellow Pages, BBB and more

  • Clay: For enrichment, job title logic and email discovery

  • Findymail: To pull work emails based on LinkedIn URLs

  • MillionVerifier: To double verify before sending

  • Smartlead/Instantly: To run inbox rotation and smart sequencing

Who This Works For

  • Agencies targeting local businesses

  • SaaS products targeting niche stacks

  • AI tools needing funded startups

  • Coaches/consultants targeting B2B segments

If you know your ICP but cannot find them accurately, this solves it
