Cold Calling
We’re not going to ask you to get their phone numbers for this. We know it’s as tough as getting the email (You might want to check out our previous blog on how to get direct dials). So, then how does this work? You can try calling the company land line which you can easily get from their website or online presence and start your pitch. Not the sales pitch. Your charm pitch, tell them why you need to talk to the CEO, most of the time it’s highly unlikely that they connect you with them over the call. So, persuade them to get the email address. With the right words, you can definitely get it.
DMs on Twitter
Many people forget about an easier way to contact CEOs. Instead of searching on LinkedIn or buying email lists, try Twitter. Many CEOs and top executives use Twitter. Sending a polite direct message can work if you both follow each other or if their messages are open. Just ask for their contact details without trying to sell anything.
Email Finder Tools
These email lookup tools are effective for business emails hence they can be used to find CEO emails as well. Some famous email finder tools are Email Hunter, No2Bounce, Skrapp and getprospect. All you need is their first name, surname and company which you can enter in these tools to get the possible list of emails. Most of the time, the tool finds the accurate email among the list for you. Sometimes, even if it doesn’t you can proceed to validate those emails to find the valid one. For which you can use email validation tools like No2Bounce, Zerobounce and Neverbounce.
Don’t Buy List
Thinking about buying a marketing email list to get CEO email addresses? Hold up! While it might seem like a shortcut, it's a risky move. Despite the tempting offers flooding your inbox, buying or renting B2B contact databases come with some hefty downsides:
- You could end up with basic and downright inaccurate data.
- That list you bought? Well, guess what? You probably don't have exclusive rights to it.
- Prepare to damage your reputation by being labelled as a spammer if you're not careful.
- Oh, and let's not forget the potential legal trouble from violating email compliance rules.
So, before you hit that "buy now" button, think twice about the consequences.
We suggested four ethical ways of acquiring the email address to get your job done well. Then, we can separate them into two primary approaches.
- You could opt for the budget-friendly but less scalable method of manually searching and researching to gather one email at a time.
- Using sales intelligence tools for a scalable approach to find hundreds of accurate CEO emails faster to improve the sales process.
Ultimately the decision is up to you to choose which one suits your needs better. If you’d like to know how InFynd can help you build the perfect email list of your prospects, book a demo to speak with our sales team here.
