The reframeClay

How you think about Clay

Not just

Enrichment

Waterfalls are the entry point, not the reason you stay.

But

Orchestration

the foundation of system creation for GTM teams.

Actually

The Engine

Where you test GTM ideas that used to need engineering.

Sample use caseClay

A sample use case for you all

To give you a sense of how I think about Clay, I wanted to put together a really simple, tangible use case based on everyone attending. I extracted all of your names. I enriched you. Tried to figure out why you're here, and then want to outbound to you.

  • Extracted every name from the registration list
  • Enriched you: company, role, signals
  • Figured out why you're here
  • Wrote an outbound message back to you
