I’ve been through that too and totally get how frustrating it is when half the emails bounce back. What’s helped me is using LinkedIn to build a more targeted list, I’ll filter by industry and role, then pull the contacts out with a tool and clean them up through an email verifier before passing them to my sales guys. It’s not perfect, but compared to the random lists I used to buy, the bounce rate dropped a lot and the team actually gets replies now.
