Who should I search for first?
Start with the customer you already know how to help. One industry, one area, one or two job titles. You learn more from a small, sharp list than from a huge, loose one.
How many people should I reveal on day one?
Keep it small. Twenty to fifty people is plenty for a first test. Saving is free, so save more than you need and reveal only the people you will contact this week.
What do I do after the first emails go out?
Read the replies, keep what works and change one thing at a time. On a paid plan, Buzz Drafts writes four emails for each person and Buzz Send spaces them out for you.

What counts as a contact?
A contact is used when Buzzlist reveals a usable email or phone you did not already have. Searching and saving are free.
Can Buzz write the emails for me?
Yes, on a paid plan. Buzz Drafts writes four emails for each person, and you can edit any of them before Buzz Send sends.
