Rent-a-client list

[steps to grow]

Hi All,

I'm currently doing my niche research and prefer to do it this way but I have heard of renting a list with hundreds of email addresses in different categories/niches you could use to target people.

Just curious, Does anyone of a list (under specific niches) that give you Company name/Contact Name / Contact details that can be rented?

Otherwise I'll stick to searching and sending cold emails on places like Linkedin

Thanks

Excuse my ignorance, but how do you "rent" a list of details that you can copy in about... eight seconds?

You tick a box that says I swear to God I won't copy this list.

They have toxic data built in

@steps to grow - there are any number of data houses out there, with hugely varying degrees of quality

I bought data specific to hotels - and was very particular about what I wanted (quality over quantity). The big boys came up with big numbers & extravagant promises and prduced nothing like what I wanted

i ended up paying far more with a specialist provider - working exclusively in hospitality - who did a great job.

You can buy lists... but so many are sold by snake-oil salesmen that what you're buying is often out of date and not much use. Plus, you have to be mindful of GDPR regulations these days. If I recall correctly GDPR doesn't apply to B2B however if you've got someone's personal details on the list (like a personal email address), they have to have given you prior permission for you to contact them otherwise you'd be in breach of GDPR.

I had a mate who sold specialist software. He paid about £15K for a list but the leads were excellent and the cost was covered by the first contract.

If a business email is on one of those lists then may well get dozens or hundreds of emails a day.

So how would you get yours even read? Getting noticed is hard.
May well end up in spam folder.

Excellent. Thanks for the responses all. Think i'll continue what im doing and doing the work to find suitable companies in my niche

I don't know if anyones used LinkedIn sales navigator but ive got an offer so will give that a run to see how it works

Usually the place where you get the list from send the emails on your behalf so you never get hold of the email list

LinkedIn sales navigator

This is so underrated its unbelieve, I know so many people paying thousands of £££ with what they think is marketing but its just a waste of time.

You can do it without sales navigator if you wanted, its just a lot quicker with it.

So many people I know have started their own thing during lockdown and I've pointed a lot of them towards LinkedIn.

My friend wants to get his product into Screwfix - what does he do, uses LinkedIn to find all the head buyers for that category, connects with them, sends them his thing - they invite him to their HQ to pitch in person!

As above, its quality vs quantity.

Cheers billybob99

I'm at that stage where im building a list of prospective clients. The demo i saw showed what you've described and looks like a speedy way of building my list.

Thanks for the message.
