While our main service focuses on lead generation, particularly cold email marketing, we do not deny the effectiveness of paid ads, especially if you have a substantial budget and a large target market. However, email marketing can be more cost-effective and efficient for most B2B businesses. By running both ads and email campaigns with a suitable system, you can maximize your conversion rates.
If you have to choose between the two, consider these questions:
Is your market large or small? (e.g., Your total addressable market (TAM) is extremely small.)
Do you need to engage directly with multiple levels within your target customers' organization when selling? (e.g., You are involved in corporate or enterprise sales.)
You’ve nailed product-market fit.

For those of you currently spending a large budget on paid ads, we still recommend building a cold email or outbound infrastructure. Consider some of the top leaders in the space:

Has an outbound department built around cold email and cold calling, even though he spends hundreds of thousands of dollars on ads every month.
