Introducing Jose Rafael: Lead Gen Consultant & Clay Expert

Hey everyone! I’m Jose Rafael from the Philippines, working as a Clay & lead gen consultant. I’ve spent the past 8+ years in lead generation, partnering with 60+ Clay clients and completing 800+ list-building projects. My focus is on building high-intent leads (like recently funded companies, hiring in your niche, or competitor users) rather than generic filters that usually get ignored. I’ve had the chance to work with Clay experts like Michael Sarrugia, Jordan Crawford, Cody Carness, and Alex Berman, and even ran a Clay-powered campaign in the ads space that hit a 9.2% positive reply rate. Along the way, I’ve also sold 15k+ licenses in the cold email world. Excited to keep learning, share what’s worked for me, and see the most creative ways others are using Clay, so tell me, what’s the smartest way you’ve used Clay that surprised you?
