Building an Automated Outbound Email List for Sales Teams

Andrew M. · 2025-05-07 03:49:56.619047+00

Hello! I am just starting to get into Clay and love the product. I've been looking on a solution to build an automated and scalable outbound email list for my Sales team. The goal would be to have ~50 new contacts added to the list based off of a list of ideal customer profile criteria that would rotate. Has anybody ever done something similar or have any tutorials they would share?

Hey Andrew M., there definitely ways to do that! That falls under TAM (Total Addressable Marketing) Building. And for checking of ICP, you typically can use AI to verify that the list is indeed accurate. I sort of have an example here that you can take a look at if it helps! It shows you how we go beyond generic list building, but becoming more targeted and accurate in it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQYCY4cnZeM&t=8s

Hey, glad to hear you’re enjoying Clay—welcome aboard! Yes, what you’re describing is totally doable. You can build an automated workflow using a Find People or Find Companies block based on your ICP criteria and add it to run on a schedule however as of now, it's not possible to limit it to 50 per run just a total number. Let me know if you have more questions
