COLD EMAIL
Lets face it: most cold email campaigns fail not because of the copy but because of who you are sending them to

And the truth is
90% of lead lists today are either outdated, scraped poorly or built from guesswork
So lets break this down:
The Real Reason Cold Email Does not Work
You could write the worlds best subject line, A/B test your CTAs and warm up your domain for 30 days straight
But if your list is not:
Aligned to your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP)
Built with fresh, enriched data
Filtered for real buying signals
you will still get:
Low open rates
Ghosted replies
Spam complaints
Its like sending luxury real estate brochures to people renting Airbnbs
The Shift: From Guesswork to Context Driven Lists
Traditional scraping tools start from the person level, You filter for job titles like "CMO" or "Founder" and try to backtrack what company they work at
But what if you flipped it?
Start with the company first, Start with context:
“Companies using Stripe”
“Brands with 100+ reviews on GMB in Austin”
“Agencies using HubSpot + Intercom”
“SaaS companies hiring SDRs + using Calendly”
Once you define the right companies, then enrich the right people inside
