Establish your B2B buyer persona
To prepare a good B2B database for a cold email campaign, we first need to define exactly who we plan to send the information to, i.e. specify the profile of our B2B buyer persona . For example, we can adopt basic selection criteria here, such as:
the specific industry and product or service segment in which the companies we are interested in operate
the scale of size of individual enterprises that interests us
the location we care about
all other criteria that will help us narrow down and specify the target audience as much as possible
but – most importantly – the direct positions of people working in a given organization who make decisions on the topic that the planned cold mailing campaign is to cover
then the available tools that facilitate prospecting will allow us to determine the names and surnames, and in most cases also the direct e-mail addresses of the above persons
The better and more precisely we define the profile of our B2B buyer persona, the more precisely we will be able to prepare the recipient base for conducting a cold email campaign, which will ultimately twitter data be more effective.
Build an individual, campaign-specific database
The next step is to establish email addresses and prepare a B2B database on which cold mailing will be conducted. We create this data set based on a selected B2B buyer persona (preferably with a direct email address to a specific person), building subsequent records in the database accordingly.
In order to be able to finally assess the effectiveness of the campaign, the data set on which the B2B cold mailing will be carried out should be as extensive as possible. Of course, this only concerns records that meet the defined selection criteria in terms of the profile of the potential business partner and the B2B buyer persona. The quality of the data set is what counts most , in order to best respond to the purchasing needs of the potential buyer, however, the greater the number of records in the database, the more reliable the statistics of the entire campaign will be.
It is quite natural that for some products or services intended for narrow, niche segments of potential customers, the cold mailing database will be much smaller than for a segment of recipients who operate, for example, in industries that bring together many companies with a similar business profile.
In this case, the issues of the minimum and maximum number of records in the data set are always a very individual matter. We pay attention primarily to quality, not quantity, but it is worth ensuring that the cold mail campaign is carried out on the widest possible data set (e.g. several hundred records).
