## What our customers say about us...

**Keith Jones**  
*GTM Systems Lead*

"In my professional opinion, Clay has one of the most practical and exciting applications of AI, in a decades-old practice that has long been stale."

.avif)
**Stevie Case**
*CRO*

"Clay should be an essential pillar of every company's GTM stack, enabling outbound built on the highest quality data foundation possible. Now you can automate hours of manual research so sales teams can focus on selling."

**Alexander DeMoulin**
*Director of Revenue Operations*

"This job has always been about creativity, despite how it might seem, and Clay enables me to answer more 'what if we could...' questions from our GTM teams than I ever could before."

.avif)
**Adam Wall**
*Head of Sales Operations*

"Clay is a game changer for marketing, data, and operations. We have 3x our enrichment rate with Clay’s combination of data providers. Clay makes it easy to use AI for GTM initiatives, unlocking new workflows that were infeasible before."

.avif)  
**Davide Grieco**  
*Prev. Director of Growth*

"Scaling inefficient SDR work isn’t possible without an infinite flow of capital. Clay helps automate mundane tasks like contact data enrichment, including pulling signals and triggers, so SDRs can focus their time on prioritized selling and spend their days more effectively. It evolves the SDR role and aligns it better with marketing paths for more upward career momentum."

**Ryan Narod**  
*VP, Marketing*

"Clay is the Rippling marketing team's secret weapon. It has helped us build an experimentation-driven GTM motion that iterates on ideas and scales what works. We've greatly improved our outbound email performance, deeply enriched our customer base with AI, and more."
