How to Use This Database — Step by Step

sic_code for 7000-7399 to target professional services businesses, then filter city for Brussels. This gives a tight, relevant sub-list rather than blasting the full database.Upload the filtered CSV to Instantly, Smartlead, HubSpot, or any CSV-compatible platform. Map
email, full_name, and company_name columns. Remove any rows with blank email before importing.Reference Belgium context in your subject line and opening line.

Every email must include: your company name and physical address, a working unsubscribe link, and an honest subject line. Honour unsubscribes within the legal timeframe. Keep a suppression list.
