Clay

When Vanta & Clay spent a full day together for our first AI Hackathon, magic happened: we built 3 AI workflows that went live THAT SAME DAY 🔥 In just ~8 hours, we tackled three mission-critical GTM challenges: 1️⃣ AI-powered trust center mockups tailored to each prospect's brand — cutting through the outbound noise with personalization that works 2️⃣ Chrome extension that automates manual research for SDRs — giving 70+ new SDR hires the power of Clay without having to onboard them to the entire tool, saving them multiple hours a day 3️⃣ AI call transcript analyzer that flows into custom presentation decks — turning hours of conversation into actionable insights and transforming customer business reviews "𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘸𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘶𝘱 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢 𝘤𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘰 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘢𝘤𝘩...

We even rushed out for last-minute trophies 🏆️ (because... of course we did 😁) Want this kind of rapid implementation for your team? If you're a company of similar size or greater -- 𝗠𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝘂𝘀!

Would you describe your CRM as a "Dumpster Fire"? FOR THE LOVE OF JAMON IBERICO, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE. Getting budget for CRM hygiene is tough. The key isn't to talk about how clean it will be (ie no duplicates, less flows, less fields) but instead the outcomes it unlocks (automation, Ai workflows, better insights, more selling time). Imagine a life where we're getting the most out of one of our most expensive tools. 📝 get your page layouts working for your teams. you don't need record types anymore, you can do this with lightning pages. You have no idea the goddess you will be in your reps eyes when you do this accross lead-contact-account-opp 📇 Normalize key fields. You can get yourself a lil baby waterfall with Clay. And as much as I would love to clean up every account and contact in the whole worlds, you can prioritize top 1000. ❌ PURGE BABY. Purge unused packages, fields, yes, even data. I promise you don't need email opens from 5 years ago. Plus SFDC data is expensive 🪄 Automate key workflows for users. Some easy things are using Actions to create easy pop ups to let reps fill out key info. You can use this to close opportunities with all key data or handoffs from SDRs to AEs. It's magic. Revenue Operators, let's have a therapy sesh. What triggers you about a bad CRM setup? My kryptonite is 48 system admins.

Clay is the 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗴𝗼-𝘁𝗼-𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗯𝗲𝘀 𝗔𝗜 𝟱𝟬 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁! I use Clay everyday - especially Claygent, our AI research agent. We ran the numbers and Claygent gets used 𝟭𝟯𝟬 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 times 𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 — it's on track to hit 2 billion by the end of the year!!! So... what do customers use Claygent for? • to automate boring manual research • to categorize leads and accounts • to summarize large texts • to check for certifications on a company website • to summarize pricing changes • to collect case studies • and so much more (Obaid Durrani idea: claygent series?) a simple way to think about Claygent is this... to get unique and hard-to-find data points that gives your team an edge. PS: our team is the best in the world, period. #ForbesAI50 #GrowWithClay

Gurus: “Take my Clay template. It got me 40 leads!” Also Gurus: “Can’t remember who it was for, tbh.” That right there is the problem. Most templates out there are built in a vacuum. No ICP. No objective. No context. Just vibes. So you plug it in, hit run, cross fingers… And when garbage comes out the other side, You blame Clay. But let me be clear: Clay isn’t a vending machine. It’s an invention engine. You don’t start with: “Which template looks cool?” You start with: “What’s the exact outcome I want?” “And what data do I need to make that happen?” That’s your blueprint. Not the templates. Because once you know the why, the rest follows: ⤷ Your input  ⤷ Your column structure ⤷ Your logic stack Templates are like Pinterest boards: Great for inspiration. Terrible as a building manual. 😜 The smartest Clay builders I know work backwards. From the outcome to the architecture. Right to left. Not left to right. So if you do use a template: → Know who built it. → Why they built it. → And what they were solving for. Otherwise, You’re just tossing spaghetti and praying it sticks. And Clay is way too powerful to be used on prayer alone. 🙏 Remember: Design > Duplicate. Always. ROI loves clarity. So have it.

Product support is changing, and we're leaning into it. From the beginning, Clay has been challenging the notion that support just needs to be a function that is "good enough" - a means of just getting customers out of the queue as quickly as possible. We see product support as an immense value driver and resource to help our customers get everything they can out of the product. I've been lucky enough to build a team around this idea that is now 16(!) strong, and they're some of the most sought after talent across the org. Not only are they all brilliant, but through support, they've become product experts and customer experts, positioning themselves to be valuable assets no matter what problem they jump into. We're building off this idea and launching a brand new rotational program called The Wheel. New grads will begin by immersing themselves in product support, gaining deep insights into our customers. From there, you'll rotate across various departments throughout the company—not just as observers, but as active problem-solvers bringing your unique customer perspective to each team.

Exciting update on this week's episode of LinkedIn News. After working with 11 brands as an "influencer" I'm excited about this one. I've learned = Having a mix of creators in style and platform is essential. It's not just about conceptual, you also need SMEs. It's not just about LinkedIn you need, YouTube, IG, and TikTok in 2025. Be everywhere! With a singular message in different formats to cater to your audience's consumption preferences. So with that being said Clay has rolled out a new integration with Modash - Influencer Marketing for Shopify and Upfluence. Brands now have access to a whole new set of creators and influencers on new channels. I can't wait to see which brands start diversifying! (Just don't be taking my money 💰 ) lol #claypartner
