Seeking Recommendations for Cost-Effective Outbound Tools

Hey everyone! My co-founder and I have just launched Mingloft (www.mingloft.com), a platform targeting event planners. We’re currently exploring the best go-to-market tools for outbound messaging and research. We’ve seen a lot of options, but many are either too pricey or uncertain in terms of effectiveness. We’re looking for recommendations on cost-effective, user-friendly tools that really work. Also, we’d love to hear your thoughts on the effectiveness of direct messages for reaching event planners. Do you think emails and LinkedIn DMs can be impactful in this space? Looking forward to your insights and suggestions! Thanks, Daniel
