StackShortlist

Small thing I've learned writing to agencies and SaaS teams: if your first line names a tool they actually run, you get read. If it names their industry, you get skimmed. Anyone else see the same?

If a lead list has no source for an email, I'd rather see the field say unknown than get a guessed firstname@ pattern. A blank costs me a minute of research. A wrong guess costs me a bounce and some domain reputation. That's how I set up the CSVs at https://stackshortlist.dev, and I wish more lists did the same.

A tech stack match tells you why a company might care about your offer. It doesn't tell you they're ready to buy this quarter. I treat the stack as the reson to write and leave the timing question for the first reply.

A small B2B habit worth stealing: write down the trigger for each account before you reach out. New funding, a new hire in the role you sell to, a tool they just adopted. If a row has no trigger, it goes to the bottom of the list. Fewer sends, better conversations. What triggers work best for you?
