Hola, I'm Lyle currently in Madrid, doing all cool online tech work with multiple agencies just started playing around with Clay recently and made a quick video for audiences that do not know about this powerful tool. It has saved us hours of crafting cold mail and researching our prospects. Basically I used as little credits as possible to do this in under 15 minutes which would normally take hours to research and craft cold emails. Also this is like my first ever Youtube Video, showcasing what you have learned helps you learn too https://youtu.be/0KUup2170so
Here's how to efficiently research prospects and craft cold emails while minimizing credits: Credit-Saving Strategies: 1. Use the Metaprompter - Get optimized prompts on the first try instead of burning credits through multiple iterations 2. Choose the right tool - Start with AI Formulas (free), use "Use AI" with your own API key (90% cost savings), and save Claygent only for web research 3. Qualify leads first - Use conditional runs to enrich only qualified prospects that meet your criteria For Research & Email Crafting: - Prospecting is free - no credits needed for finding leads - Use Claygent for "last-mile" discovery like recent news, blog posts, or company updates - Connect your own OpenAI/Anthropic API key to cut AI costs by 90% Best Practice: Test small batches first, then scale once you've optimized your workflow
