There are many ways to market your B2B business.
As a company you don’t have to invest in Industrial-Scale Cold Email™. You have alternatives in organic, paid and even other outbound channels.
These are documented and compared below.
| Industrial-Scale Cold Email™ | Outbound | Organic | Paid | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CAC | Low | High | Very Low | High |
| Speed to Pipeline | Very Fast | Medium | Very Slow | Very Fast |
| Reachable Market Size | Very High | Medium | Medium | High |
| Speed of Iteration | Very High | Medium | Very Slow | Very High |
| Predictability | Very High | High | Moderate | Very High |
| Control over Targeting | Very High | Very High | Low | Medium |
After B2B companies achieve product-market fit, they usually need an aggressive way to penetrate and dominate their market that is fast, under their control and keeps their CAC low.
Regular cold email, cold calling, LinkedIn outreach require many people to operate, take months to set up properly, and have volume scalability limits and high CACs.
SEO, YouTube, PR and other organic channels even though they have very low CACs take years to set up and gain traction and give you very little control on targeting, actually reaching the people that matter.
Paid Ads and Influencer Partnerships are indeed very fast, but the downside is you have less control over targeting compared to outbound and your CACs are MUCH higher.

We created Industrial-Scale Cold Email™ to fill in the gap – get the speed & scale of paid channels with ORGANIC-like CAC.

What Industrial-Scale Cold Email™ does wasn't possible 2 years ago, because the AI technology required to process data, validate targeting & personalize at scale and at much lower costs didn't exist.
Regular cold email did much lower volumes, prospecting had to be via databases and checked manually, personalization had to be added manually, replies had to be processed manually, all of this added hundreds of thousands in costs to be able to reach out to even 100K companies.
