Mailing Lists

Find the decision-makers most likely to hire you.

When you do this right, about 80% will be CEOs and Presidents. The rest will typically include Chairman, Executive Director, Managing Director, Partner or Owner.

Don't waste your time drilling down in the organization chart trying to find the "hiring manager." Instead, get your letters out the door.

Here's an example. A $150k sales executive in California sent his value proposition to several thousand companies, and one of them went to the CEO of a $12 billion company in the Midwest. The CEO called him and invited him to interview, based only on his letter. And the CEO offered him a job, which he turned down because he had a better offer.

Sources

Here are a few mailing list sources to get you started.

idExec   Jigsaw   Lead411   NetProspex   OneSource

Coverage varies widely. Pricing also varies widely. Some have minimums, some sell one-off lists, some sell subscription slices, and some are so complicated that the average job-seeker might give up trying to figure it out.

If you want a FREE mailing list, check your library - they often give access to some of the most popular databases. Library access however typically has limits, and this approach is not practical for large volumes.

Email lists

In case you're looking for an email list, don't bother. Here's why:

Imagine a decision-maker having his or her name and email address discovered and sold to job seekers. At first the decision-maker gets a few inquiries, then dozens, then hundreds. If you can find a list of decision-maker email addresses, so can everyone else. This strategy will always backfire no matter how you do it, and your email will arrive as spam. 

Having said that, if you still want an email list, here's a Complete Email Marketing Guide.
