About
Outbound is broken at most companies. I fix it. Clay is where I do my best work - it's where sourcing, enrichment, and targeting actually come together. I know which data providers oversell their coverage, why "warmed up" domains still end up in spam, and how to make a sequence land in a market that isn't your own. I've shipped campaigns across multiple industries & geographies and the playbook holds up everywhereWhat I believe: - A great offer beats a great copy every time.- Personalization without context is just noise with a first name attached.- If your reply rate is under 5%, the problem isn't the subject line.- Follow-ups do more work than first emails. Most people quit too early.If your outbound is underperforming, it's fixable and usually faster than you'd expect. I've seen dead campaigns come back to life inside two weeks once the offer, targeting, and deliverability stop fighting each other.If that sounds like your situation, reach out.Outside of work, I do powerlifting, bodybuilding, bouldering & long distance running.Four sports, one principle - consistent work over a long enough timeline.
