stop cold emailing tech startups and enterprises
there are thousands of businesses whose employees will actually read your emails cause their inboxes are not inundated with slop offers
Contacts who get emailed less than average reply 3.2x more. @clay has a free source full of them.
That 3.2x comes from my agencies internal data and @smartlead_ai says it could be even more like 4x more.
The source is Google Maps, and it's free in Clay. When everyone pulls leads from the same easy databases, the harder-to-reach contacts pay off fast.
Here's how I'm using it:
Put in keywords. I searched for plumbing companies, and it's free no matter how many locations I add.
Score fit with Jev. Skip scoring anything with "plumbing" in the name, since you already know those fit.
Find contacts. Surfe did a great job here. For anything Surfe misses, I built a custom Claygent to find more contacts.
Right now I'm building a dataset to get the highest find rate possible on local business contacts. I'm having Opus 5.5 find 1,000 companies where we can find the owner on the website but they don't have a linkedin profile.
I'm going to put that into the training data for a claygent to work off of Haiku or Luna 6 to cheaply find custom contacts.
When it's done, I'll give away the Claygent along with any MCPs it needs. our Exa friends will probably be very useful here.
You can use the Google Maps source in Clay right now for free, with unlimited searches. I use a browser agent to keep running the searches, and I asked engineering to expand how many you can run at once.
Want the Claygent to find the contacts and emails once it's done hill climbing? Let me know.
Like most things in life
Activities lose their appeal when they become obligations
Remove the obligation and you will appreciate it for what it is
Pov of someone who has not been obligated to commute for 6 yrs
Each year the urge to work alongside peers in an office grows stronger
it’s nice to remember how effortless ignoring emails is before you send one yourself
archiving takes a millisecond and isn’t even a bad outcome, probably sent a decent email if you didn't get marked as spam
imagine someone deciding the next 2 minutes of their life deserve your reply over literally anything else and you won't send a bad email
if u took endurance seriously you'd stop caring about protein and spam your body w carbs instead
as a triathlete its hilarious to see people discover energy from first principles. like i literally consume 600g of carbs (sugar) for a long training session and perform at peak intensity. the high protein low carb era is just birthing a bunch of lethargic and overweight people who still dont go to the gym. its always been calories in / calories out. your sparkling water doesn't need 30g or protein.
San Francisco has the biggest lived-experience gap of any American city
Orient your life around Market St and you will constantly navigate hell
Orient your life around Golden Gate Park and Ocean Beach and you will regularly encounter God

a 47 sq mile footprint where anywhere you want to go is ~30 minutes by e-bike
#2 most walkable city in the US + urban cycling infrastructure
year-round farmers' markets supplied by the state that grows nearly half the country's produce
tap water that’s Sierra snowmelt from Yosemite, clean enough at the source to skip filtration
but bro is too busy monitoring the situation
cold calling is actually thrilling when you don't have to do it, deadening when you're measured on it
for the love of the game type shit
completely irrational behavior for 99% of WHOOP users
a custom UI + saving $20/mo is never gonna justify this amount of work
it's just fun to act on engineering impulse
