Key facts
- Buzzlist can keep the best person per company, ranked by fit with a reason, so a list of 200 companies gives you 200 people.
- Emailing five people at a company in the same week looks like a blast and gets forwarded to the same inbox.
- Starting with one good contact keeps the list clean and the cost low.
- Buzz reads each title by meaning, compares it to what you sell and who buys it in your Hive, and ranks the people at each company.
Why one person per company?
Emailing five people at a company in the same week looks like a blast and gets forwarded to the same inbox. Starting with one good contact keeps the list clean and the cost low.
How does Buzz choose?
Buzz reads each title by meaning, compares it to what you sell and who buys it in your Hive, and ranks the people at each company. The fit score on a company card is how well the best person there fits your Hive, out of 100.
When should I add a second person?
When the first one does not answer after the full four emails, or when the deal needs more than one person to agree. Then reach out to one more, with a different angle.
| Company size | Usually the right first contact |
|---|---|
| Under about 50 staff | Owner, founder or president |
| 50 to 500 staff | Director or head of the department you help |
| Over 500 staff | VP or director, plus a manager who uses it |
How to get one right person per company
- Describe the buyer
Say who owns the problem, for example "the person who runs operations".
- Turn on best person per company
Buzz keeps the top match at each company.
- Read the reasons
Each person comes with why they fit. Swap anyone who looks wrong.
- Reveal and write
Reveal the emails, then let Buzz write four emails for each person.
When does Buzzlist fit, and when does it not?
It fits when
- You sell to companies and want one clear contact at each.
- Your list is dozens to thousands of companies.
It does not fit when
- You need everyone at one company mapped by department. The decision makers guide covers that.
Questions people ask next
What if the best person has no email?
Buzz shows what is available before you spend, so you can pick the next best person who has a usable email.
Does picking one person cost an AI search?
A new AI search uses one AI search. Reveals use contacts as normal.
Can I choose more than one person at big companies?
Yes. Keep the best person, then add others by hand from the same company.
Is the owner always the right choice?
No. At larger firms the owner rarely reads cold email. The department head who owns the problem is usually better.
