Play Details

1. New Team Members

Reference new hire by name. Shows attention to their growth.

2. Skills-Targeting

Target LinkedIn skills (not just titles). Clay extracts skills from profiles.

  • Salesforce skill → Salesforce add-ons
  • Python skill → Developer tools

3. Role-Targeting

Uncommon titles signal budget/priority.

  • "RevOps Manager" → RevOps is priority
  • "Growth Engineer" → Technical growth exists

4. Industry-Level Research

Survey ICP experts → opens value-first conversations.

5. Resources for ICs (Evergreen)

Automated campaign sending resources to new ICs. Long-term brand building.

6. Leaving Employees

Position around coverage gap after departure.

7. No Dedicated Role

No "Content Manager" + $5M+ revenue = content gap opportunity.

8. Bad Reviews Targeting

Scrape negative reviews, reference their pain, offer alternatives.

9. AI-Generated Ideas

Generate 2 relevant ideas + your offer as #3 (with humor).

10. ServiceBell Allbound

Visitor hits pricing → SDR calls in 2 min → email if no answer → LinkedIn next day.

11. Inbound Followers

Monitor daily, filter to ICP via Clay, outreach within 24-48h.
