When Not to Contact Website Visitors: The No-Contact Decision Tree
Do not contact a website visitor just because a visitor-identification tool matched an account. First check fit, identity confidence, CRM relationship, lifecycle status, suppression rules, consent/privacy context, and whether a normal business reason exists. Send to sales only when the account is in-scope, the evidence is labeled, an owner exists, and the message can be written without implying hidden surveillance. Suppress employees, competitors, vendors, students, poor-fit accounts, low-confidence matches, sensitive-page visits, unsubscribed contacts, and cases where the next best action is customer success, nurture, or internal review.
