Bad data

It does not matter how good your cold email is, how dialed in your offer is, or how many inboxes you are running if your list is trash, your results will be too.

Most people think cold email doesn’t work But what they are really facing is bad targeting, outdated contacts, and noisy lists.

The Real Cost of Bad Leads

• You waste hours writing sequences that go to dead emails

• You burn domains and tank deliverability with bounces

• You annoy prospects by sending irrelevant messages

• You miss your monthly quota, even if your system is solid

And worst of all? You think it’s your strategy that’s broken, when it’s just your data.

How Most People Build Lead Lists (And Why It Fails)

• Download from Apollo or ZoomInfo

• Filter by job title or industry

• Export and hit send

This creates two issues:

1. You get the same leads as everyone else (oversaturated lists)

2. You do not validate if the company is even the right fit

For example: Let’s say you’re selling a CRM to agencies. Most people pull every “marketing agency” in the US with a marketing director. But how many of those actually do client work? Have a sales process? Are hiring?

The Better Way: Context First Lead Building

Here’s what the best outbound teams do:

They start with companies, not contacts.

• Companies using Shopify or HubSpot

• Companies with low Google review averages

• Companies hiring SDRs or AEs

• Companies in specific cities with 2–20 headcount

Then they enrich those companies with:

• Decision maker names

• Valid work emails

• LinkedIn URLs
