Define the segment in writing

Industry, size band, geography, and the trigger that makes now the right time. If a record does not match all four, it does not belong on the list.

Source from more than one place

Directories, job boards, review sites, association member lists and public filings all produce companies that generic databases miss.

Enrich only what you will use

Every field you collect must appear in the email or in a filter. Everything else is maintenance cost.

Verify before you send

Run addresses through verification, drop catch-all and risky results from the first campaign, and keep bounces under two percent.

Maintain suppression

Unsubscribes, customers, open opportunities and competitors go on a permanent suppression list checked before every import.
