Hey everyone! Just made the first post after joining here, and that (finally and hopefully) marks the start of my LinkedIn posting journey xD Anyways, hope it inspires someone else to post too, and if you want, you can check it out here: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7331328071494438912/?commentUrn=urn%3Ali%3Acomment%3A(activity%3A7331328071494438912%2C7331330269842481154)&dashCommentUrn=urn%3Ali%3Afsd_comment%3A(7331330269842481154%2Curn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7331328071494438912)&dashCommentUrn=urn%3Ali%3Afsd_comment%3A(7331330269842481154%2Curn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A7331328071494438912))

#1. To understand how to reach a business, speak as if you were an employee from that business (without being misleading). #2. Don't send chase-ups/follow-ups, send value sequences. #3. "They don't know who you are..so providing value closes that gap." Stay frosty, everyone.

As a newbie to Clay, Skool and just online communities in general, Aaron shared quite a few things in our first meeting that were great food for thought. 1. "Poke the bear" - still something I need to dig in to but it's the first I've seen it both used as an example and how to refine ideas during outreach. 2. Pre-qualifying leads - as a means to sort people we want to work with or not, depending on our offers 3. Value-to-logistics question: how can we offer all this value, while reducing as much of the cost, in the least amount of time possible. 4. "Value is perception" 5. A question to self-check the value of the lead magnet or message: "Would someone be willing to pay at least $100 for this?" 6. "The more you sell, the more you repel."

Trying to catch up, and just reaching the Day 5-6 Stage. Been playing around with the Clay table and built this table so far: https://app.clay.com/shared-table/share_0svnt61Zi4QXeMaWQYj I have 2 main use cases I want to use Clay for 1. Get lead lists so I can get link building clients 2. Use it to categorize lists much faster, as part of my agency's link building process. This table is a rustic attempt to attempt number (2). My idea is to automate as much of the prospecting process as possible. I can use APIs like DataforSEO to scrape Google for pretty cheap, and we can always download lists of websites from other places. But for link building leaves 2 main issues I'm trying to solve - How to turn those lists into "segments" much faster than a human could. - How to get very specific contacts for those leads. For link building, it needs to follow a logic. E.g. Content title -> Editor -> SEO -> Marketing -> Owner etc etc. The screenshot just shows me inputting a list I had of Addiction/Rehab clinic domains, and seeing if Clay could categorize it accurately, and automatically find a Marketing related contact, using Findymail. Not perfect because it couldn't find a category sometimes - but it probably needs a better AI prompt, and probably better logic to find a relevant contact person. Findymail for me is pretty good, but looking into BetterContacts.
