    Sales automation is the most suited use case of Clay. You could generate GTM motions that are auto triggered by the signals, so you could actually create workflows that are triggered on specific signals. For example, a company gets new funding, you can reach out to the company within in a matter of minutes and you can track a lot of news that's happening on Google or using RSS feeds. You can patch that news into Clay and then manipulate that and get insights out of it. The second best use case is the data enrichment or data cleanup. Usually companies have CRMs with messy data. You can import that. Clay has native integrations with Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Marketo, and you can import those lists into Clay and then clean the data, enrich the data, and then push that forward, update the data in the CRMs. That's the second best use case that I use it for and would recommend it for.

    Its well suited If you find yourself manually placing contact details in CRMs or you're using multiple tools to find relevant and accurate contact details. Not so relevant if you already sheet of contact details and you can simply import it as a CSV in certain tools

    Pros
    Clay Labs Inc. (dba Clay)
    • Pros, I think there are a lot of pros, so I mentioned a couple of them already, so being able to use different data providers. I think being able to massage the data, I call it a data orchestration where I can get different points of inputs of data. I can throw everything in Clay and then I can make all the changes before I use them for campaigns, for email, for LinkedIn, for whatever reason I'm going to use my data, but it's really easy to enrich, it's really easy to do research. It's really easy to build agents that tie to each row in your dataset, like there are a lot of things that you could use it for that are huge pros.

    Cons
    Clay Labs Inc. (dba Clay)
    • A max column limit. I run into the column limit all the time and kind of have to figure out using multiple tables. Just bugs really. I mean if you start getting too crazy on it, I feel like takes a long time. You can't really identify that it's working or if it's not. So that kind of slows things down a little bit.

    The software is well suited in lead scoring and workflows management. Product reliability in customer outreach management and segmentation. The product is worth it from pricing to quality ecommerce services and automation of processes.

    I think it's actually before the launches today, I would say eight, but after they launch, what's the name of the product? I dunno if it was the web intent or the sculpture. 10, because I think that the sculpture was the missing part of plates till now.

    Super easy to use, the only thing I wish they would change is that you always need to check the prospects linkedin page to see if there's been an update to their contact (eg. if contact didnt have a mobile number saved, they may now, so you need to check linkedin every single time before reaching out). Other than that, this is by far the best tool for pulling numbers and emails.

    So in a sense, there is a large community, and because of the community you also learn multiple workflows and how to use it better. You can kind of democratize or source knowledge more easily on how to use the product, and also transfer it so other people can use it more easily. So in a sense, that works.

    zoominfo has old contact info, a lot of the time i look at specific people and their companies aren't updated. I get intent emailed to me from zoominfo for job changes and it will be 6-12 months after someone changed jobs so the information is just not accurate enough. apollo only pulls headquarters info, never had an accurate cell number from it so i stopped using it pretty quickly during our eval

    Return on Investment
    Clay Labs Inc. (dba Clay)
    • Without Clay we would probably have our agency, but not with the level of sophistication we have right now or really one of our USP that we are certified by Clay. That's how we get a lot of inbound leads as well. So that of course leads to a very healthy ROI. If we look at inbound.
    • I think negative as terms in negative ROI, I think this is a nice one to touch on. Expectation management for tooling such as Clay is extremely difficult because people see a lot of stuff happening on LinkedIn from the top 1% of Clay experts and they look at us and "hey, we want the same thing," basically. That's quite a challenge. So that's really a good conversation to have with your potential client as well. Like, "Hey, I know, tell me what you've seen. We're going to see what we can do if that's reasonable or not." Set realistic expectations there and don't expect to go from zero to 100 within a very small time window. So that was something we had to learn. We had a lot of unrealistic expectations for what we can do. We can improve your business, but we can't do it with a factor of X or in a period of eight weeks.

    • I prefer using it from the SalesNav page compared to Zoominfo - seems way more up to date
    • Allows me to massively scale my prospecting by keeping me in page and I don't have to look up and cross reference on other tools
    • While it has a smaller set of functionality that I can use it for relative to Zoominfo, the things that it does do I've always felt it did a better job
    • Really simple UI and doesn't prompt me to sign in every day which I appreciate.
