Before we begin

What if you could find target accounts, identify specific roles within those accounts, enrich those contacts with work emails, identify the target personas of the companies they work at, and draft personalized emails to those prospects in the style and tone of famous copywriters?

Now you can in seconds. 

What you can do with this Claybook: 

  1. Generate and enrich a list of companies based on size, industry, and headcount
  2. Import a new list of people from your company list based on a criteria of your choosing
  3. Enrich them with their work emails 
  4. Use AI to generate two personas that the company targets (ex. Neurologists & Psychiatrists)
  5. Personalize different versions of emails referencing this data in the voices of Seth Godin, David Ogilvy, and Leo Burnett respectively.

Customize AI prompts

The beauty of this table is that it takes all enriched data and writes multiple drafts of outbound emails in different styles. To update these prompts with your business information (required), edit each column independently:

  1. Anthropic (Claude) to draft an email in the style of the famous marketer and writer, Seth Godin (column 36)
  2. Anthropic (Claude) to draft an email in the style of the famous copywriter, David Ogilvy (column 39)
  3. Anthropic (Claude) to draft an email in the style of famous ad man, Leo Burnett (column 42). 
  4. ChatGPT to re-write the email of Leo Burnett, but with a more human style since his sound a bit robotic at times (column 45)
  5. Clay’s native AI message drafting feature to draft an email that mentions target personas (column 53)
