Important: this is not bulk email and not spam. We run targeted outreach: every message goes to a specific representative of a specific company for a legitimate business reason, in small daily volumes, personalised to the recipient. Every email identifies the sender and includes one-click opt-out; unsubscribes and stop-lists apply to all future campaigns without exception. Companies that ask not to be contacted are excluded permanently.
