Most cold email campaigns do not fail because of bad writing

They fail because they’re sent to the wrong people at the wrong companies

You could have the best:

• Offer

• Email copy

• Subject line

but if your list is off, you are invisible

Lets break this down

The Usual Way People Build Lists

Most people follow the same broken process:

1. Open Apollo/SalesNav

2. Set some filters

3. Export 500 contacts

4. Start sending

But guess what?

Those filters are overused

The databases are bloated

The contacts are outdated

And worst of all, the companies do not even match your ICP

You end up emailing:

• Closed businesses

• Agencies who do the same thing as you

• People who left the company 8 months ago

• Companies that will never buy

The Better Way: Start With Companies, Not People

Great cold email campaigns start with great company logic, not job titles

Example logic:

• “Show me DTC brands using Shopify + Recharge”

• “Give me dentists in Florida with over 100 Google reviews”

• “Find me AI tools that just raised Seed or Series A funding”

• “Find me SaaS companies using HubSpot + Calendly + Stripe”

Now you are working backwards from value, not forward from a filter

Final Thought:

The best cold emailers do not start with a job title
They start with a business event or a tech signal and work backward from there
