Tyler Cruver shows how Clay is the Creative Tool for GTM Growth

Written by Wes Schaeffer | Oct 09, 2024


  • Clay is a hub or workbench for your apps to streamline your list curation and outbound efforts.
  • Clay is deceptively simple at first.
  • It's based on sheets.
  • Example of some basic functions:
    • Email lookup
    • LinkedIn lookup
    • Claygent: it can do research on the internet
      • AI doesn't interact well with the real world
      • Claygent helps you get around that by merging scraping with AI
  • Data organization and outreach issues
    • Maybe you have leads from a tradeshow and it's too labor-intensive to follow up with them
    • Start with "Do these people have LinkedIn profiles?"
    • Actions > Import > Find Companies, then drill down
    • This might take some refining and research
    • Tools like Apollo and Instantly keep you as a captive agent of their database and you can't go do research from within those tools. The bigger they are, the bigger the gaps they have.
  • Claygent: GPT 4 Mini
    • Mission: 
  • Leverage its integration with tools like HubSpot, Salesforce, Apollo, Smartlead, etc.

 

 

  • Create two tables: company and contacts
  • Add enrichment: LeadMagic, Hunter, Prospeo, etc.
  • Validate via ZeroBounce, etc.
  • Leverage Waterfalls to do your data enrichment
  • Instantly and SmartLead (he likes the user interface of Instantly) (Apollo is not his first option)
