Hi Mukund. We did a search for Salons in Canada (specific areas like Toronto and Qubec) in Google Maps and enriched in Clay. Got enough data (email and phone numbers) to run cold outreaches. Tried the same in India for Jewellers and it seemed to work too!!!

Aadithya P. Loved the “no agencies please” — don’t worry, not one 😄 Just sharing what’s worked for us and a few folks we’ve helped out. Here’s a setup that might work well for you: 🔹 Email setup – Start with alternate domains and inboxes from a tool like Maildoso. It handles all the backend stuff like SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and warming — so your emails actually land in inboxes. 🔹 Personalization – We use Clay to build cohorts based on ideal personas. The trick is writing prompts that include the role, pain points, and your value prop — helps generate solid first lines that feel personal. 🔹 Sending – Tools like Smartlead or Instantly are great for sending at scale. They can handle follow-ups and automatically pause the sequence once someone replies (though sometimes even an OOO can trigger that pause). 🔹 Automation – You can connect Clay to your email tool so everything runs smoothly and automatically. 🔹 Monitoring – Keep an eye on early replies like “not interested” or “maybe later.” Those are usually good opportunities to follow up with a quick call or a softer check-in. Quick note: These tools are just what we’ve used — there are other great ones too. What really makes the difference is staying close to the process and adjusting as you go. Hope this helps! Happy to share more if you’re exploring specifics.
