How to leverage Clay for relationship management shouldn't be kept a secret.
Here are 5 powerful use-cases I've discovered after 3+ years of using it:
1. Get intelligence from your existing network
• Export and enrich all LinkedIn contacts
• Track job changes in your network
• Use AI qualification to identify potential leads among your connections
2. Turn followers into a lead generation source
• Extract and enrich your followers from LinkedIn with Airtop or Bardeen
• Process thousands of profiles for lead qualification
Once I did this for a Tech Scaleup's CEO with 80k followers.
Imagine the lead list for his team.
3. Signal tracking your own profile
• Monitor content engagement with Trigify
• Capture likes and comments
• Identify potential leads from interactions
4. Automated messaging workflows
• Connect with La Growth Machine
• Run LinkedIn + email re-engagement campaigns on your network
• Set up multi-channel playbooks
5. Power up your data with integrations
• Create email enrichment pipelines with Clay
• Monitor signals from potential leads
• Enrich LinkedIn data with Relevance (best at scale)
But here's what nobody really tells you:
The real power comes from custom integration.
Using Clay alone with credits can get expensive fast.
And there is no one-tool-fits-all for this.
Yet, here's some alternative routes to consider:
• Folk or Attio for built-in interaction tracking
• Affinity for VC relationship management
• Custom stack setup through RevOps consultants
The truth?
High-ROI network management often requires an expert setup more than a do-it-all tool.
