Why this workflow?

Cold outreach fails because it is generic and manual. This workflow fixes both problems. AI researches each prospect individually, writes a message that actually references their world, and follows up without you touching a keyboard.

How it works

1

Build your ICP and lead list

Define your ideal customer profile by industry, company size, and role. Clay pulls matching prospects from LinkedIn and enriches each with firmographic data automatically.

2

AI enrichment and research

For each prospect, Claude reads their company website, recent LinkedIn activity, and job posting signals to build a one-paragraph research brief.

3

Personalized message generation

Claude uses the research brief to write a cold email opening that references something specific to the prospect. No templates, no merge tags. Real personalization.

4

Sequenced sending via n8n

n8n schedules the send, handles bounces and out-of-offices, and triggers follow-up messages for non-responders at the right cadence.

5

Interested replies land directly in your inbox

When a prospect responds, the reply is tagged and routed straight to you. No CRM navigation, no hunting through dashboards. You pick up the conversation right there and close it.
