How to contact them

To identify these professionals, start by targeting common job titles: in French, search for “Directeur commercial”, “Responsable commercial”, “Business Developer”, or “Account Executive”; in English, focus on “Head of Sales”, “VP Sales”, “Sales Director”, or “Account Executive”. Platforms like LinkedIn, with filters for the marketing and advertising sector and company size, allow you to quickly compile a list of prospects. Note that companies with 11 to 50 employees have the highest concentration of these profiles (7,321 in our database).

To contact them, use a generic professional email format such as firstname.lastname@company.com or firstname@company.com. Verify the email deliverability before sending, for example with a tool like Listar, which finds and validates professional contact details. Avoid overly generic messages: personalize your outreach by referencing a specific point related to their sector or company.
