Bought a $200 'client finder' tool that just gave me a list of dead email addresses

It was a total waste, the leads were all from 2018 and most of the companies didn't even exist anymore. Has anyone found a better way to get real leads without spending a fortune?

Those tools are always junk, you gotta do the work yourself. I just search for companies on LinkedIn, find the right person, and guess their email. The pattern is usually firstname.lastname@company.com. It takes time but the leads are real. I landed three clients last month just by sending cold emails to people I actually found.

Seriously @adam_anderson6, but what if your guess is wrong and you just annoy them forever?

Check the email pattern on their own website first.
