Clay Review

Verified User
Contributor in Corporate (1001-5000 employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We currently use Clay only for contact acquisition and validation of leads/contacts on critical fields. Right now, the request for validation is a manual request from sales or growth marketing with a list from an event or a special use case.

We are aiming to use it more for growth marketing to personalize and trigger emails for specific signals that are important for our business. I am currently on the lookout for use cases because Clay is too open with capabilities and not specifics on how to execute it.

Pros

  • Plug-in with SO many integrations
  • Data Validation
  • Contact Acquisition

Cons

  • Getting started for signals and use cases
  • Better user interface that people outside of Marketing Operations can use it for
  • Help with querying when getting stuck on a prompt not running correctly (IE: too many missing information or low confidence)

Return on Investment

  • Data quality has increased
  • Speed to lead as increased
  • More manual requests from Sales/Marketing because they find Clay too difficult to use themselves
