3 weeks into Growth Engine X and I'm finally seeing what tools are reshaping top GTM teams.

I used to binge 🦾Eric Nowoslawski YouTube videos. Now I'm watching these plays unfold in real-time.

Here are 3 tools reshaping how we operate:

1) Supabase → Our central database for everything

We're storing verified emails, catch-all emails, and lists of contacts who replied with spam triggers or curse words.

No more scattered data. Everything's in one place.

2) Cursor → Our team won't open large files ever again

Been seeing Brandon Charleson content about Cursor too, might as well try Claude Code.

Filtered massive CSV files without ever opening them. Never wrestling with huge spreadsheets again.

3) OpenRouter, Inc → Access to multiple models and cheaper AI at scale
Company scoring, content generation, and analysis - all running through Open Router.

Better insights. Way lower costs.

And of course, the foundation!

4) Clay → keeps on delivering:

• Sculptor - Your GTM copilot that builds workflows and analyzes insights instantly in natural language

• Audiences - Combine CRM, signals, and enrichment to track the entire buyer journey and act on intent

• Sequencer - Run AI-personalized outbound campaigns at scale with built-in deliverability

• Claygent Connectors - Connect Claygent to Salesforce, Gong, Google Docs, and more for better context

• Claygent Builder - Build and deploy Claygents across your workspace and workflows

Visit 🦾Eric Nowoslawski profile for a detailed breakdown of how GEX team is using these 4 tools.

PS. Theory is everywhere. Execution is rare. This is what it actually looks like.

Is our bubble just looking at the woman in the red dress?

Let me walk you through my 2-year sales tech journey.

2023: lemlist  and Lavender 💜🔮 www.ora.im everywhere on LinkedIn

Mid-2023: Clay takes over my feed
→ But this one felt different (AI was finally useful)

→ Joined an agency just to learn it properly

→ Got my hands dirty

Early 2025: “n8n is the Clay killer”

→ Bought courses immediately

→ Still sitting there unwatched

→ Too busy actually building campaigns

Late 2025: Claude Code drops with MCP

→ Cancelled my OpenAI sub same day

This week: OpenAI launches AI Agent 
Builder (now I'm planning to subscribe again)

→ Everyone says: “RIP n8n/Make /Zapier ”

And that’s when it hit me:

We might be in a massive bubble.

Every 6 months there’s a new “killer tool.”

Every time, I’m reaching for my credit card.

Here’s what I’m doing differently now:

Watch new tools → Test selectively → Master ONE deeply

I’m going all-in on Clay .

Not because it’s perfect. But because while everyone’s debating what’s next, Clay keeps shipping:

• Sculptor - Your GTM copilot that builds workflows and analyzes insights instantly in natural language

• Audiences - Combine CRM, signals, and enrichment to track the entire buyer journey and act on intent

• Sequencer - Run AI-personalized outbound campaigns at scale with built-in deliverability

• Claygent Connectors - Connect Claygent to Salesforce, Gong, Google Docs, and more for better context

• Claygent Builder - Build and deploy Claygents across your workspace and workflows

All in 12 months.

Clay went from “spreadsheet with integrations” to full GTM operating system.

The real lesson:
You don’t win by having the newest tools.

You win by being the best at using one.

Depth beats breadth. Every time.

What’s your one tool for 2026?

Most agencies RUN from small TAM clients.

6,000 companies globally? That's it?
They'll say:

"Not enough volume"
"You'll churn in 3 months"
"Can't scale this"

Here's what they miss →
Small TAM = hyper-relevance wins.

This client targets nature-based carbon credit developers.

Total addressable market: ~6,000 companies worldwide.

No spray and pray. Every prospect matters.

Here's what we built:
1️⃣ Infrastructure
60 Google Workspace inboxes
10 sends per inbox/day = 600 daily touchpoints
Pristine sender reputation maintained

2️⃣ TAM Mapping
Used Clay + Apollo + Discolike to identify the ENTIRE market.
Not a sample. The whole thing.

3️⃣ Deep Validation
Claygent handled ICP qualifying + signal research.
Found active projects, hiring, funding status, tech stack.

4️⃣ Hyper-Personalized Copy
We mentioned their specific active project by name.
Not generic. Not scalable to 100k leads.
Perfect for 6,000 relevant ICPs.

5️⃣ Speed to Lead
Auto-reply system using Clay.
Segments response categories.
Replies in minutes, not hours.

The result?
📊 243 contacted
💬 25 replies
🎯 18 leads
7.4% reply rate. 7.4% lead rate.

When your TAM is small, you can't afford generic outreach.

You need infrastructure that treats every contact like gold.

Small TAM doesn't mean small opportunity.
It means you need tighter systems.

Here's the thing →
Not every small TAM client is worth taking on.

Some will churn. Some have unrealistic expectations. Some just aren't ready.

The lesson isn't "accept all small TAM clients."

It's to know when to say yes, and build systems that make it worth it.


#leadgeneration

small TAM case study.

Campaign that generated 1 lead in every 71 contacted.

12 meetings. 87 opportunities. 5% response rate.

This wasn’t a volume play.
It wasn’t a new SDR team.
It came down to precision targeting and damn good copy.

Here’s what made it work:

1️⃣ Emphasize the pain point → triggers urgency
Hotels were losing margin and control by depending on OTAs.

2️⃣ Name-drop the OTA → makes it real
“I noticed {{Hotel}} is listed on booking(dot)com.”
It’s a simple line—but it signals we’ve done our homework.

3️⃣ Mention their Google Ads → proves relevance
“Since you ran ads on Google, I’m guessing you're looking to reduce your reliance on all the major OTAs, avoiding the commission they charge – right?”
That one line changed the way the message was received.

Before this, they were running outbound through Apollo.
3–4 meetings a month.
Reply rates under 0.5%.
Most emails landed in spam.

After we stepped in:
→ 12 meetings in 2 weeks
→ 87 qualified opportunities
→ 5% cold reply rate

Same ICP. Same product.
New system. New results.

The real takeaway?

Outbound doesn’t fail because of cold email.
It fails when the message isn’t specific, relevant, or rooted in what the buyer actually cares about.

We didn’t send more.
We sent smarter.

Open article: Outbound Automation Certification was issued by Clay to Marielle Camba. by credly.com

Outbound Automation Certification was issued by Clay to Marielle Camba.

One year on LinkedIn.

306K impressions. Still not viral. Still here.

Honestly, I'm not the most consistent poster. I share when I have something worth saying, not just to stay visible.

Some months I post a lot. Some months, barely at all.

But slow growth is still growth.

Thanks to everyone who's engaged with my content this year. 

You've made this worthwhile.

Here's to more quality posts, better conversations, and hopefully leveling up the content game.

P.S. What's your take on posting frequency? Daily grind or post when inspired?
