7CGI Boosted Outreach Responses 25% Using Hunter

Meet 7CGI

7CGI are a 3D visualization provider who, for a decade, have delivered rendering services driven by the belief that businesses, regardless of size, industry, and location, should be able to create stunning, photo-realistic renders that deliver interactive digital buying experiences.

To reach those businesses, cold email sits alongside 7CGI’s website and content as the core driver for lead generation.

7CGI's approach to outreach

Cold email is a critical component of 7CGI’s strategy to reach decision-makers directly, introduce their services, and create meaningful conversations that drive conversions. But to do so means reaching the right people with the right message.

Prior to Hunter, the team, led by Abdullah Al Baki, manually found emails to add into their outreach - but this was a massively time-consuming process:

“We used a virtual assistant to scrape emails. Her database was full of obsolete emails that were no longer in use. So we were looking for a solution to improve our response rates.”

The process, consisting of building a target list of companies, and finding the emails associated with those companies that met their buyer personas, was struggling due to the poor data at their disposal.

This led to the search for a better way.

Why 7CGI chose Hunter

Having researched email verification and cold emailing tools on Google, 7CGI found that many were missing what was needed above all - data that was verified. With this data, 7CGI could be confident that their emails would find the right people and drive conversations. 

With a focus on quality, verified data, it was the Bulk Email Finder and Bulk Verifier that Hunter offered which ultimately drove Abdullah to choose Hunter. And, the support provided underlined the importance of quality to 7CGI, as Abdullah shared:

“The best experience with Hunter is their dedicated customer service. It's amazing. Even in times when I used to use the free subscription, their service (prompt response and care for my needs) made me feel that I was one of their premium customers.”

How 7GCI's outreach looks today

Using Hunter, 7CGI follow a similar process as before, but with the assurance that the data they’re using is the right data to support their outreach goals.

The team continues to identify a list of companies using Domain Search. Then, they use the Email Finder to identify target contacts. From here, the list of email addresses are verified using Hunter’s Bulk Email Verification tool. 

When all is verified, 7CGI then builds and delivers their email outreach from within Hunter, segmenting their messaging on a departmental basis.

The results from using Hunter are clear:

“Since using Hunter, we’ve improved our email deliverability rate to over 95%, reduced bounce rates significantly, and increased response rates by approximately 25%.

Without Hunter, our outreach process would be slower, less accurate, and prone to higher bounce rates, making lead generation far more challenging and less effective. Before Hunter our email domain’s spam score was high.”
