Oleg Tomenko

I recently cleaned up my CRM and was surprised to see that around 30% of the companies I discussed lead generation with in 2023 (just 2 years ago) don’t exist anymore.

Websites are down, people disappeared from LinkedIn, emails are bouncing.

They’re just gone.

I started my “solo agency” around that time, switching from a fractional role to a done-for-you model. 
I remember hearing “we don’t have the budget” a lot from these B2B founders on calls.

It was extremely hard to sell anything to them.
I even tried offering a very low-ticket service - but it didn’t work.

So I said, OK, you don’t have the budget, but you have time - let me teach you. Let’s do some sessions so you can launch outbound on your own.

But founders kept chasing shortcuts, growth hacks, and who knows what else - instead of just building a real marketing engine.

You can’t do marketing “from time to time.”
You can’t survive without marketing today. And it’s only getting more expensive.

Outbound is still the best way in B2B to generate leads, create awareness, and get market feedback. 

You can fix your bottlenecks later - but start with marketing. Invest in it.

Get more traffic first. How mighty Alex Hormozi says - just do more.

Or you’ll end up like that 30% - just gone.

Pipeline for data-heavy B2B SaaS | Instantly.ai Outbound Partner

Don’t ignore “not interested” replies.
All replies matter.

1) You should respond to every reply - even the negative ones. Algorithms don’t care if the reply is positive or negative - what matters is that there’s a conversation. That back-and-forth helps strengthen your domain reputation. (Instantly.ai AI agent is built for this.)

2) Sometimes, a negative reply can turn into a positive - or at least a warm lead. Depends on how you handle it. You can use, for example, Josh Braun’s style of objection handling. But don’t ask “May I know why you are not interested?” - that’s really annoying and accomplishes nothing.

3) A “not now” reply means you can easily re-engage in 3-4 months - and they won’t be as cold by then.
Handle all replies to show there’s a real human behind the outreach.

4) Negative replies also mean you hit the inbox - and you weren’t ignored. They’re a great source of insight too - why weren’t they interested? Look at the prospect’s data - maybe there are some common patterns.

5) If your email is well-written, the majority of your “not interested” replies will look like the ones in the attached pictures.

What’s not cool is getting no replies at all.

Instantly.ai + HeyReach.io
This is a very good model. You don't try to add everything to your product; you just integrate with existing and proven tools.

We used Clay for orchestrations like this, but now we're ready to transfer some event-based workflows, such as:

 -> Out of office
 -> Interested
 -> Not now, thanks
 -> Nurturing (that's our internal status)

Shoutout and applause to both teams!

Reach out to companies by tech stack ⚡️ (easiest flow)

The idea is simple - get the domain list, score/enrich it, then find the right people in those companies.

1. Start with the source.
For e-commerce → Storeleads.
For popular tools (like HubSpot, Pipedrive) → CompanyEnrich – gives you full company lists already using the tool.
For niche tools → BuiltWith + filtering.

🧠 Make sure your list is big enough here - no point running the whole workflow just to reach 100 people.

2. Score the domain list.
 Data’s often outdated.
 We push it into Clay → deduplicate (important!) → normalize domains → build BuiltWith links → use ZenRows to check if the tech is actually live.

3. Find people (faster way).
 Upload the validated domains to Instantly.ai SuperSearch, filter by roles, and push contacts straight into your campaign - with verified emails.

⚡ They use a waterfall method now, so it’s quick.

 Clay is great, but still too manual for simple tech-based outreach (better for trigger-based stuff).
But if you still use Clay, you'll have Linkedin of these people - don't hesitate to create a Linkedin sequence for those who don't have emails.

4. Bonus: Copywriting done smarter.
I used Instantly Co-Pilot to generate campaign copy. Just tweaked a few lines, launched the sequence, pulled the contacts.

5. Use HeyReach.io for complimentary Linkedin steps.

Easy-peasy - if you know what you're doing 😉

Cold Email mistake 6. Ignoring recipient time zones

Small detail - but it can boost replies simply because your email lands when your prospect is active during business hours.

Business inboxes are usually less crowded than the personal ones - but it’s always better to be at the top of the inbox, not buried at the bottom.

To start, divide your sending schedule into Europe, the Americas, and the Pacific. 
A more advanced approach is to use the prospect’s actual location - not just the company’s HQ. 

Some tools - like Reply - can automatically adapt to the prospect’s time zone.

I get it - people travel, work remotely, and have flexible hours. But this small adjustment might still give your results a lift.
