I have 35 demos this week. Zero came from #Inbound25. They didn't need to. I'm consistently booking 20+ demos a week using Apollo.ai + Singulate + Instantly.ai. - Apollo for sourcing lists of qualified leads. - Singulate for data research + cleaning + segmentation and hyper-personalization - Instantly for deliverability and sequencing and analytics Singulate's API integration with Instantly is 1-click. It populate leads and sequence messaging automatically. We're now implementing this no-lift system for clients. There are no data tables or spreadsheets. No recurring meetings. And your first 3 AI templates are done for you by one of our Singulate trained GTM engineers / messaging strategists. Want to see how it works? Jump on a demo. I didn't think we'd get as much traction in outbound as we have, but when everyone is using the same scripts and AI for copywriting, you zag when others zig. Outbound isn't dead, the bar is just much higher. It just has to be really good. The leads from Inbound will come next week.

The way we convert online is changing fast. Static landing pages are being replaced by AI-powered conversations that engage, qualify, and convert in real time. 👉 Peruse the slideshow attached to see why chatbots are becoming the new landing pages. 👉 Dive deeper in our full blog article: https://lnkd.in/eM5bQEck #DigitalMarketing #AIChatbots #ConversationalMarketing #CustomerExperience #RazorSharpDigital

🚀 Leveling Up AdTech Automation🚀 Over the last few weeks, I’ve been building an Automated Ad Code Generator that creates complete GPT tags with just a few inputs. This has already saved a huge amount of manual work and reduced errors while onboarding publishers. Now, we’ve taken it a step further → Masking the Ad Tag. Instead of publishers pasting long GPT code blocks, they just place a single line script include, and all the targeting + setup runs automatically from our server. ✅ Benefits: Simpler onboarding → publishers just copy-paste 1 line. Centralized control → update once, live everywhere. Cleaner website integration. Ability to add advanced features (viewability, refresh, header bidding) without publisher effort. ⚠️ Challenges: Extra latency if script isn’t CDN optimized. Debugging harder for publishers. Greater responsibility on us → if our script breaks, all publishers are impacted. This is just the beginning — the goal is to make ad tag creation faster, smarter, and scalable for any publisher size. 👉 Curious to hear from others in AdTech: Would you prefer a masked ad tag (easy 1-line integration) or full GPT code (full transparency & control)? #AdTech #GoogleAdManager #Programmatic #Automation #GPTtags

The post below by Lisa Sharapata🌟 at Metadata shows why we need to stop relying on intent and other ghost signals. She talks about how we build segments based on these signals, we hyped up sales on leads we hoped were in-market, we chased these signals trying to deliver pipeline... Only to end up frustrated when the results don’t match the promise. Here's the problem I see... Intent is speculative, not predictive. Intent is something to respond to by knowing the whole story and where there is intent vs. something to react to. Everyone is reacting to intent and adding noise and then wondering why buyers are not engaging. Intent doesn't mean that a company is strategically ready for your solution and it doesn't mean that they align with you. It doesn't mean there is future fit. If we want to get predictive vs. focusing on ghost signals that offer false positives and are time-delayed, then we should focus on: 1. Defining the operational, executional, cultural characteristics of our ICP accounts and directing sales, marketing, CS and ABM initiatives on the accounts that match those characteristics and have proven that they are strategically ready for your solutions. You want to look for companies that have started to make the necessary shifts in their business to succeed with your solutions. This is especially important if you are selling and marketing an AI solution. 2. Defining the business problem profile and having AI focus on identifying accounts that match the business problem profile. 3. Uncovering the strategic priorities of key accounts that you can play a strong, differentiated, relevant role in. Then use AI to look for those companies that have a key active strategic priority. These are not ghost signals. Studies by Corporate Visions show that ICP characteristics that go beyond superficial technographics and demographics that 6sense, Demandbase, ZoomInfo uses, business problem profiles and strategic priorities/key triggers are the greatest predictors of accounts landing and expanding with you. If we want to go beyond ghost signals then we need to mix human, strategic thinking with AI. My thoughts above are in addition to the insights shared by Lisa in her post below. I'd love to have a conversation with Lisa Sharapata🌟and others that are successfully using AI with the GTM and discuss doing an ABM Done Right Podcast and/or webinar on AI and ABM. Please DM me. If you are just starting with AI or you want to start using AI within your GTM motions, please comment on this post with "Please tell me more about AI". I'll reach out to schedule a time for us to talk as we at Personal ABM: An Account-Based GTM Firm are starting to integrate AI with our ABM solutions. We'd love to see where you are wanting to use AI so we can build solutions that tailor to your needs in addition to sharing our thoughts and ideas to help you.

How I used Clay + GPT to turn 12,000 raw leads into revenue-ready accounts Most outbound teams spend hours enriching leads... and still get replies like: ❝ not relevant to us ❞ Here’s how I flipped that ⬇ I recently worked on a project where we had to build a lead list of 12,000+ companies for a performance marketing agency. But we didn’t just stop at filters or job titles. We built a real enrichment engine inside Clay + GPT. 🔹 Tagged each company’s product type in 2–4 word format 🔹 Identified organic traffic gaps they were missing out on 🔹 Mapped real SEO competitors from their niche 🔹 Auto-generated custom first lines for each prospect Synced the data into Smartlead, launched the sequence, and let the system run. Results? ✅ 20%+ reply rate ✅ Qualified meetings from relevant DTC & SaaS brands ✅ A reusable outbound engine the client now scales monthly This was one of the most rewarding GTM builds I’ve done recently Clean enrichment. No fluff. Just smart systems. If you’re a founder or agency building outbound, I’d love to swap notes or collaborate. #GTMEngineering #OutboundMarketing #Clay #Smartlead #B2BLeads #LeadGen #OutboundSystems #ColdEmail #AIinSales
