So sorry for the confusion - I just double checked the original post and ChatGPT got creative and added the "Rev Ops / MkT / Sales" on my experience 😂 My 6mo are as a GTM Engineer - primarily focused on lead generation, scraping strategies, and supporting cold email campaign creation. Before that, my background is more general operations / strategy roles, not deep, formal experience in Sales or Marketing teams. I’ve learned those pieces mostly by doing, in very hands-on contexts. I really appreaciate all of your answers!

Hello everyone! First of all I wanted to say thank you for all your answers. Willy H. - the graph you shared is very helpful! I kept coming back to it, trying to reflect and identify where I'm at! As for Ryan M.'s question - I think yes but it would take me a significant amount of time to level up some of my skills. Like I feel good as trying and I do feel like I know enough to figure it out on my own with the right amount of time. And lastly, Bashir S. - yes I do. I have been working 100% of my time on Clay since August.

Txs Ryan! Would you still recommend this to someone who has been self taught on Clay and that has been working on the tool for 6 months?

My biggest gap is that I'm building everything intuitively without systematic frameworks. TL;DR - I can figure things out, but I'm reinventing wheels that probably have established best practices I just don't know yet. For example: I recently needed to develop a nationwide scraping strategy and had to manually research and build the logic for zoom levels, pagination, and query combos for different city sizes. It worked, but took way longer than it should have. Same with AI copy - my first full AI-generated campaign took 7-10 prompt iterations to get something that actually drove CTA engagement. I was essentially reverse-engineering sales frameworks through trial and error instead of applying proven patterns. Right now I'm also operating without the infrastructure that should be standard - no automated signal tracking, no systematic performance monitoring. I'm manually exporting CSVs from Instantly and analyzing patterns campaign-by-campaign.

Yes!!

yes thankyou

Can you further explain on where do I set up "matching criteria"?

Yes thank you. If I delete the original send table data enrichment that pushed the data in the first place, will the new one be able to match the rows to update any new information?
