Every time someone tells me they need more leads, I want to ask how many of their existing emails actually land. Not open. Not click. Land. If a meaningful share of your outbound is going to spam, your CAC model is already lying to you. More data, more copy, and more SDR activity will not fix a broken delivery layer. Inbox placement is not a technical footnote. It is the first growth metric because every other metric depends on it.
