Broad Search vs. Narrow Targeted Search

What’s better? We recently ran the result metrics side by side for our clients, and broke it down below. Here’s what we found.
A “Broad” search with 200 targets gets an average of 30 responses (15%).
A “Targeted” search with just 50 targets gets an average or 10 responses (20%).
Interest level of leads from a Targeted search is roughly 50%.
The response rate trends higher when we approach folks who really fit your thesis (Targeted). Using industry-specific language and past execution history wakes the audience up to your messaging, improving overall quality/interest too.
