Does half of your list have a website but no email address?

Directories and scraper exports often give you a company name, a phone number and a website, but no email. Finding an address for each company by hand takes ages.

It hits harder when you sell to mortgage brokers. Mortgage brokers are often sole traders or small firms, sometimes working under a larger network. They rely on a steady flow of referrals and leads, and they look for partners who send them clients or save time on compliance and paperwork.

Companies without an email address never get your message. Your list looks big but only part of it is usable for outreach.

Role addresses from a website, without credits.

Email from domain takes the website, strips www. and keeps the domain. You tick the prefixes you want, such as info@, hello@ or sales@, and add your own. An existing email column always wins, and derived addresses are clearly guesses based on common patterns.

  • Fields that fit mortgage brokers, such as network
  • Email prefixes that fit, like info@, enquiries@, hello@ and advice@
  • Status, tags and a segment on every record

Fixing it in Riftjaw

  • Map the website column. During import, tell Riftjaw which column holds the website.
  • Tick your prefixes. Choose info@, hello@, office@ or add a prefix of your own.
  • Check and send carefully. Treat derived addresses as guesses and send a small test batch first.

Other walls when prospecting mortgage brokers

Broker lists include many advisers under the same network.

Record the network in a field and save a filter on it, so you can approach the network and the brokers differently.

Brokers ask for proof of where their details came from.

Source and date are stored on every record, and opt-outs go to a register that is always respected.

Sole traders are hard to follow up because they are with clients all day.

Open and click tracking show who engaged, so you call those first.

Fields worth recording for mortgage brokers

Add these as fields in your lead file. Any column in your import can become a field.

FieldWhy it helps
Company nameThe key field. Duplicates are checked on it or on the website.
WebsiteNeeded to derive an email when the export has none.
NetworkWhether they are directly authorised or part of a network changes who decides.
SpecialismFirst time buyers, buy to let or commercial each need a different message.
AdvisersThe number of advisers shows the size of the firm.
Referral partnersExisting partners show how they get their clients today.
Register numberA reference to their public registration, useful for checking.

Questions people ask

Rules differ per country and depend on whether the address belongs to a business or a person. Riftjaw stores source and date per record and skips unsubscribed contacts, but check the rules for your country. This is general information, not legal advice.

Yes. Add a text field for the network and fill it on import or by hand. Then save a filter per network.

If your file has an email column, that wins. If it only has websites, tick the prefixes you want, such as info@, enquiries@, hello@ and advice@, and Riftjaw derives addresses from each domain. Derived addresses are good guesses, not verified, so start with small batches.
