You Bought a "Physician Email List."
Nothing's Working.
You sent 500 emails. Got 12 bounces. Zero responses. Your domain reputation just tanked.
Now your legitimate emails are going to spam.
You Got Sold
They promised "10,000 verified physician emails" for $499. Sounded perfect. You needed contacts yesterday.
Then reality hit.
What you actually got:
- • Generic hospital emails (info@hospital.com, contact@medicalcenter.org)
- • Emails scraped from outdated directories
- • The same list sold to 500 other recruiters
- • Addresses that haven't been updated in 3+ years
Here's Why It's Failing
1. You're emailing the hospital, not the physician
Generic hospital emails go to admin staff who delete recruiter messages immediately. The physician never sees it.
2. These emails have been blasted 1,000 times already
You're not the first recruiter to buy this list. The physicians on it are so overwhelmed with spam that they've trained themselves to ignore anything that looks like recruitment.
3. Your sender reputation is now damaged
High bounce rates tell email providers your messages are spam. Now even your legitimate emails to real candidates go straight to junk.
"Purchasing email lists might seem like a quick fix, but it carries risks such as violating privacy laws and damaging your organization's sender reputation."
— Jackson Physician Search, Email Strategy Guide
4. You might be breaking the law
CAN-SPAM Act requires prior consent or existing business relationships. Bought lists have neither. You're exposed to fines up to $43,280 per email.
The Math Doesn't Work
Let's be honest about what that $499 "verified list" actually cost you:
What Actually Works
Personal emails. Not hospital directories. Not purchased lists. Personal.
97% of physicians check their personal email multiple times daily.
When you reach them at their actual email address (not the generic hospital one), they see your message. They read it. They respond if they're interested.
