You could have the perfect cold email:

• A catchy subject line

• A personalized first line

• A valuable offer

but if your list is bad, nothing works

Heres why most cold outreach fails:

1. The company doesn’t match your ICP

2. The contact does not have buying power

3. The email is invalid or outdated

Its not your copy, Its your data

The Old Way: Dirty Data, Saturated Sources

Most teams pull data from the same places:

• Apollo filters

• ZoomInfo exports

• Scraped CSVs from freelancers

This leads to:

• Overused leads

• Low reply rates

• High bounce rates

• Poor domain reputation

You need a better system

The New Way: Scrapeamax + Clay + Smartlead

Heres the modern stack that fixes cold email at its root:

- Scrapeamax: Scrape verified companies from niche sources

Sources include:

• Google Maps

• BuiltWith

• Crunchbase

• Clutch

• Latka

• Trustpilot

• Yellow Pages

• Better Business Bureau

• Agency Vista

You start with accurate company level data (not just people-level).

- Clay: Enrich your scraped companies with verified contacts

• Add LinkedIn profiles

• Filter by job title

• Use Findymail API to get verified emails

- Smartlead: Send with deliverability built in

• Multi inbox sending

• AI warmup

• Custom inbox rotation

Example Workflow:

"Find me all dentists in New York with 50+ Google reviews."

Step 1: Scrapeamax pulls 143 verified clinics from GMB

Step 2: Clay finds decision-makers at each practice (Office Manager / Practice Owner)

Step 3: Emails are validated via MillionVerifier

Step 4: Smartlead sends across 10 inboxes with smart warm-up

Result:

• 42% open rate
