Replies that go nowhere
Worse you are flagged as spam
But heres the real reason most cold outreach fails: bad data
Not bad copy, Not bad timing, Just bad leads
Lets fix that
What Most People Do Wrong
The average cold emailer opens Apollo, types in some filters and exports a list
It feels easy, But its flawed:
Everyones using the same filters (saturated)
The datas often outdated or missing info
You are guessing the intent behind the list
So you waste time on:
Companies that are out of business
Leads with no buying power
People who have already seen 100 cold emails that week
How Pros Do It Differently
Top outbound teams do not start with people they start with context
They ask:
What industry?
What tech do they use?
Are they growing, hiring, funded?
Do they have customers and reviews?
Once they define the right companies, then they find the people
The Hidden Data Sources No One Talks About
Most of your competitors are stuck inside Apollo and SalesNav
Heres where smart teams are sourcing company level data:
Google Maps (GMB), For local businesses like dentists, clinics, lawyers, HVAC, etc
BuiltWith, To find companies using specific tools (Stripe, Shopify, Calendly, HubSpot, etc)
Crunchbase , To filter startups by funding round, hiring signals and categories
Clutch / GoodFirms / Agency Vista, For scraping service providers like SEO agencies, dev shops and more
Store Leads, For ecommerce brands based on platform, products, revenue, etc
Trustpilot / BBB / Yellow Pages, To find legit companies with real customer signals
So How Do You Use All These?
Most tools do not let you extract this data easily, Or they limit your exports to 500 rows/month and charge $200+ just for access
