In today's episode, I talk to Lohit from Growth Engine X about building highly personalized outbound campaigns using Clay and scaling lead generation for B2B SaaS companies.
We dive deep into a case study where they transformed an underperforming e-commerce agency by fixing both their targeting and offer. Lohit shares how they moved from generic "spray and pray" outreach to strategic filtering based on company size (50+ employees), revenue ($1M+ annually), and technology stack (Shopify). He explains their unique "creative ideas" play where they suggest three specific ways to help prospects before asking for a meeting, and discusses adding personal touches like offering phone calls or mentioning nearby restaurants.
Lohit also opens up about his personal journey - from starting a grocery delivery startup in college during COVID, to becoming a freelancer, discovering growth hacking through LinkedIn automation, and eventually joining forces with Eric after battling tuberculosis. We explore the future of AI in outreach, including using it for CRM analysis to identify retargeting opportunities and creating hyper-personalized industry reports at scale.
Enjoy 🙂
