You have probably heard the saying:
"Cold email is a numbers game"

But what most people miss is its not just how many, its who
Thousands of founders and agencies blast out cold emails each week but most lists fail before the email is even written
Why? Because the list was never built with intent
The Invisible Cost of Bad Lists
A bad lead list does not just waste time, It:
Damages your domain reputation
Burns potential buyers with bad first impressions
Eats up team capacity with low quality replies
Forces you into the "spray and pray" mindset
Whats worse? Most “lead list tools” just give you:
CSVs pulled from outdated databases
Company names scraped with zero context
People that left 6 months ago
Its no wonder your campaigns are not converting
The Better Way: Context First Targeting (Powered by AI)
Instead of filtering people by role and praying it works, You start with context
Like:
"Who are the brands using Recharge and Klaviyo?"
"Which roofers in Florida have 100+ 5 star reviews?"
"Which AI startups raised Seed last quarter AND are hiring SDRs?"
This is where AI list building with Scrapeamax flips the entire process
You do not get a list that might be relevant, You get a list that is built backward from buying signals
Heres How It Works (Real World Example)
Lets say you are selling a SaaS sales tool, Instead of exporting 10,000 random “VPs of Sales” from Apollo
You submit this prompt to Scrapeamax:
"Give me 500+ B2B SaaS companies using HubSpot + Calendly, with 10 to 50 employees, based in the US"
In return, you get:
All companies that match those conditions (scraped from BuiltWith, Crunchbase, GMB, etc)
Clean CSV with company names, domains, revenue range, team size and more
You plug this into Clay or Smartlead to enrich with real decision makers
You verify emails (MillionVerifier / ZeroBounce) and launch
List done, 10x better than LinkedIn scraping
Why This Method Wins:
Built around real world filters (tech stack, funding, reviews)
Companies first, people second clean targeting
No platform login limits or row caps
Custom to your ICP and offer
A Few Killer Prompts You Can Try:
"Dental clinics in Texas with 100+ reviews on Google Maps"
"Shopify stores using Gorgias + Recharge"
"Agencies on Clutch with 4.8+ rating and <$1M revenue"
"Crypto companies listed on Crunchbase raising in last 6 months"
"Rehab centers in the US listed on BBB"
Whatever your niche, Scrapeamax can build the dataset
