The source of the list is unknown

Next, chances are the information you’re buying is “scraped” from the web. If that’s the case, you’re much better off generating your own B2B leads rather than relying on outdated emails. Check out the alternatives below for some options.

A purchased list may also have been scraped from the infamous “dark web” and contain stolen information. This data could be the result of a hack and therefore illegal. Not knowing the source of the data could ultimately pose a serious risk to you and your business.

Another problem with unknown source is the data protection laws that are increasingly being developed and enforced. Currently, there are two: GDPR and CCPA. Your data is likely to contain emails that are going to Europe or California, so you run the risk of being reported and fined.

Regardless of the source, any recipient can also flag you as a spam/bulk recipient (as with each of these topics). Email platforms will then label you as spam and automatically send your emails to the spam/bulk mail folder. They may not even see the email as a result, especially if this happens multiple times.

Has the list been cleaned/verified?
Even if you have a legitimate list, you may want to make sure your list is clean and verified. There are a number of tools that can help you with this. However, with a purchased list, you can't do this until after you've purchased it. You may end up with half (or less) of the amount of emails you paid for.

You'll also want to clean and validate your list through two different tools. The reason is that canadian cfo email list emails can be guessed . So the purchased list may end up having a number of emails trying to go to the same person ( [email protected] , [email protected] , etc).

However, once your list is cleaned, you'll be able to send through your Gmail or Workspace account according to their sending policies.

Is your B2B lead list full of spam?
Corporate companies have email filters, but so will your sending email provider (Workspace, Outlook, Yahoo, etc.). The same goes for any other email provider you send to. If their systems find out that you're sending thousands of emails to your B2B leads with content that no one wants to receive, they'll make sure the intended recipient never sees it. They'll think you're sending malware/viruses.

The same goes for any other competitor who has purchased the exact same list. These same filters can monitor whether other people have sent emails to these same emails multiple times. If it is determined that you are trying to send to that list, you will be blocked before the emails reach their inbox.

This means that these people will already be receiving emails from your competitors and are much more likely to label you as spam.
