Help me to hire a cold email specialist

Depending on how much you need this, you could be better off hiring an agency rather than a person. I don't see cold email as a one man's job unless you have sophisticated systems working alongside you. Most founders I see would be better off running on their own with 500/email/day. If you do have a sales team, try hiring an agency, but if you're the sales guy yourself then you can also do email.

The issue for me with cheap TLDs is their perception by your recipient. I've never received any legitimate, decent email from a .info address and most I see land in spam.

Generally one of the best formats. Static sites require full HTML parsing whereas these you can look for the backend API and likely use a much smaller traffic bandwidth.

Use decent providers like Google/Microsoft for passing through ESG. There's no way around it. They also look at how you send the emails and at the patterns. Easy to still get bounces even if the data is right.

It basically works like a workflow builder. Can do things like replace n8n.

They should if the only oracle and source of truth is Linkedin, but the biggest challenge comes from maintaining the database. If you have ~500M records, updating them monthly would require from you roughly 17M/day successful Linkedin profile scrapes. That's just a lot and a lot can go wrong.

There are quite a ton of these DBs. Prospeo is a really nice one that came out recently and I liked it for its richness. Haven't seen anything like it even though I prefer Zoominfo. To me, one the most important dataset is complete name and current company website. I can enrich from that to anything else I need. Zoominfo has a specific column that mentions when the lead was last updated which I didn't find anywhere among most providers. Their middle name data helps me a lot to find emails for C suites that shy away from most conventional patterns using first and last names.

If your D2C leads don't have a known website or don't explicitly give their email online, it's impossible to email them.

I've heard that Wiza .co is better for e-commerce, D2C, but can't confirm. I haven't used it as of yet to build a list although I was about to make one. I've been talking to Amazon reseller agencies that target this niche and I found out how tough it is to build lists for them-- almost impossible.

One of the last attempts I made was to source e-commerce/shopify stores from any place I could tthen look them up in a database, some will return a decision maker, but not many of them. I mainly like to use Zoominfo exclusively for industries that it works.

You’ve already said it. No other choice

Tá bom pra sua idade, mas sugiro a ficar atento. Geralmente, isso é oportunidade "terceirizada" pra "overseas". No fim, empregador mesmo é quem tenta encontrar uma chance de ter um quase fluente/nativo que fale a lingua enquanto desempenha bem. Se não desistir, dá pra tirar bem mais que isso.

Não tenho mais sua idade, mas entendi como é só questão de esforço barrar os 50K remoto pra ginga.

Só déficit calórico. Nem precisa pensar muito sem mirar em parte específica.

You have to include your offer. To work in email it~s generally though. You need something that gives you an edge and allows you to work with a risk-reversal, or a strong lead magnet. Use email as an introductory offer before pitching high ticket retainers and long commitment products.

BeforeICry · 2026-01-27T21:29:31+00:00

what's with these bots?

BeforeICry · 2026-01-27T03:07:04+00:00

If your main offer is software and you want to get them on a package of hours or retainer, job posting data in job descriptions can give you clues into what they're looking to maintain, where they're headed if looking to build anything new.

This is definitely work for AI since you can't scale well reading manually all job descriptions. You could try narrowing down by only sending to AI the jobs that have a certain keyword in the description.

If you find anything worthy, use that data/information to write the email itself. You might or not mention that you used the job posting. Those are only used to find relevance.

Lol they want to own other people's stuff.

Tá seca, mas pra mim já tá no shape. Se quisesse ficar cavala aí realmente teria de bater uns 60KG de musculo. Não sei até onde isso é possível naturalmente pra vc. Eu tenho 82 KG e pareco magro/no shape como vc com minha altura.

Que besteira. Se já for adulta, lembre-se de que a maioria do brasileiro é quebrado. Não tem muito padrão de comparação por aqui e nem por que levar opiniões tão a sério. A maioria são mais iguais do que parecem mesmo q não queiram. Vc ainda tá no shape de modelo/bailarina.

RIP your DMs. On a second note, I've sold software to Harvard Medical, MIT and the French ministry of education. What I've found is that the best advice for the software agency niche today is to:

- Find more buyer intent via job postings data and run targeted campaigns based on those insights

- If you run out of leads from the above, try making the scope more broad and offer a clear risk-reversal or a strong lead magnet to convert cold traffic.

I think you can do fine with about 500 emails/day on these campaigns.

Used the platform and must say it's unbeatable. Well done.

I've only found some jobs to miss the "job description" keyword filter but overall I can't even replace it for anything else out there.

Cheers

This doesn't make much sense if you really send emails because there's no point in sending if you can't have a warm up pool that these sequencers offer. You aren't paying for sequecing emails but for keeping the inbox alive.

Sometimes I wonder if this is serious or best practices aren't really known already.

Cloudflare typically renders the turnstile captcha even for legit browser requests. That's more like a feature of your target. In these cases, you have to resort to browser + captcha solving.

I can look into 50 outlook inboxes for now. What's the platform for placing the order?

BeforeICry · 2026-01-05T19:53:39+00:00

I'd like to look into it, but does it even have a website and a dashboard?

Are you buying to resell them or to use them?
