Hi everyone,

I'm doing some cold emailing at the moment to find businesses that need help with Amazon PPC. The only way I can reach out to a business on Amazon is through their website - but generally 'Contact us' pages go to sales/customer service teams. I'm trying to brainstorm ways to have them direct my email to the business owners/decision makers - Any ideas how can I have them transfer me?

A little more context:

I'm doing these cold emails manually, one by one and I'm really trying to not come across like typical spam. So my email sequence looks like this:

Subject: Question
Body: Hi, are your products available on Amazon? -Jonathan.

If they respond with a mere yes, my response is:
Awesome! I manage PPC for sellers - I've done ads for brands like Pepsi, Lipton, and Velcro. If that's something you all need help with, we can arrange a call - let me know? -Jon.

If they give a detailed response, my response is:
Hi, thanks for the detailed response! I should have specified upfront - I asked because I manage PPC for sellers and wanted to know if that's something you all need help with. I've done ads for brands like Pepsi, Lipton, and Velcro. Let me know and we can arrange a call? -Jon.

@Andy Black You're usually helpful with these kind of things - I'd appreciate your thoughts.
@Fox I'd appreciate your thoughts as well if it's not too much trouble.

TLDR: Any ideas on how I have sales/customer reps transfer me to owners/decision makers without being deceptive?

Kindly,
Jon.
