FAQ
What if I can't find an email?
Try the website contact form, LinkedIn, or a call. For some businesses, phone works better; see cold email vs cold call when to use each.
Are bought lead lists reliable?
Varies by provider. Expect 5-15% bounce. Use verification tools. Fresh data helps. See what business information is publicly available and b2b lead data field glossary.
Should I guess email formats?
You can test common patterns (first@, first.last@) with a verification tool. Don't blast guessed emails - bounce rate hurts deliverability.
