Clay

Clay's waterfall enrichment engine represents a paradigm shift in how sales teams access prospect data. Rather than querying a single database and accepting whatever information is available, Clay sequentially queries multiple premium data providers in a customizable order, automatically moving to the next source when the previous one lacks the required information. This intelligent cascading approach maximizes data coverage while optimizing costs by prioritizing less expensive sources first. Users can configure enrichment waterfalls for emails, phone numbers, company data, technographics, and custom attributes, with the system automatically deduplicating and validating results. The platform supports over 50 data sources including LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Apollo, Hunter.io, Clearbit, ZoomInfo, Lusha, RocketReach, and specialized industry databases, enabling enrichment rates of 70-90% compared to the 40-50% typical of single-source solutions. Achieve dramatically higher data coverage and accuracy while reducing per-record costs through intelligent source prioritization and automatic fallback logic.

The system can produce variations for A/B testing and automatically adapts tone based on prospect seniority, industry, and company size. Integration with GPT-4 and other large language models enables natural, human-sounding copy that avoids the robotic feel of traditional templates. Scale personalized outreach without sacrificing quality, achieving response rates 2-3x higher than generic templated messages while saving hours of manual copywriting.

Clay

Clay transforms prospect list building from a tedious manual process into a streamlined, automated workflow that combines multiple data sources into unified, deduplicated lists. Users can import prospects from CRM exports, LinkedIn Sales Navigator searches, conference attendee lists, website visitor data, or any CSV file, then enrich and merge these sources while automatically identifying and resolving duplicates. The platform's intelligent matching algorithms consider multiple identifiers—email, LinkedIn URL, company domain, and name variations—to accurately consolidate records without creating false matches. Advanced filtering capabilities allow users to segment lists based on any enriched attribute, from company size and industry to technology stack and recent funding. Integration with LinkedIn Sales Navigator enables direct import of saved searches and lead lists, while API connections support automated list building from custom data sources. Consolidate fragmented prospect data from multiple sources into clean, enriched lists ready for outreach, eliminating hours of manual data cleaning and deduplication.
