Most cold email campaigns fail before the first send not because of the copy, but because the list is weak:

  • The targeting is vague

  • The contacts are outdated

  • The company logic does not match the offer

And if you are still relying on static tools or outdated filters, you are playing a game thats already lost

The good news? Theres a better way

AI driven list building, powered by Scrapeamax, is giving founders and marketers the edge they need turning data into real pipeline

The Traditional Playbook Is Broken

Lets be honest, Most lead lists are just repackaged Apollo exports

Heres what usually goes wrong:

  • Everyones scraping the same data, Zero differentiation

  • You are starting with job titles, not context

  • You are missing the company level trigger that actually drives relevance

Its like picking fruit without knowing if the tree is alive

Enter: Context First AI Prospecting

Instead of thinking “I want to target VPs of Marketing,” you now think:

  • “I want to reach DTC brands that use Klaviyo + Shopify + have subscription offers”

  • “I want recently funded SaaS companies that are hiring outbound SDRs”

  • “I want roofers in Dallas with 100+ reviews on Google”

Thats context And its how AI based workflows flip the script

Heres the Modern Flow with Scrapeamax:

  • Use AI or logic based prompts to define your ideal company

  • We scrape those companies using sources like Crunchbase, BuiltWith, GMB, Clutch, Latka and more

  • You enrich using Clay to find decision makers

  • You verify with MillionVerifier or ZeroBounce

  • You plug them into Smartlead or Instantly

Examples that You Can Run Today:

  • “B2B SaaS companies using HubSpot + Stripe + 10 to 50 employees”

  • “New York law firms with active Yelp profiles and <20 staff”

  • “Marketing agencies using Instantly + Smartlead + founded post 2019”

  • “AI startups in Europe that raised pre seed in the last 6 months”

You are no longer searching, You are engineering

Why It Works:

  • Your competitors are not doing it this way (yet)

  • You are targeting based on reality, not assumptions

  • You skip the noise and focus on high fit, high intent data

  • You reduce follow ups because your message hits harder

Real Outcomes:

A campaign targeting Shopify + Klaviyo brands got a 38% reply rate because the offer matched the exact tech stack

If your business makes $250k+/year and you are not in adult/crypto/gambling niches, book a call and get full Slack access:

The future of outbound is not about more tools, Its about smarter logic, cleaner data and faster execution

And that starts with how you build your list

Welcome to the new way to prospect
