In this episode, I chat with Ankit from The Kiln about his approach to GTM engineering and building sophisticated Clay workflows for clients.

We explore three compelling case studies: a CRM re-engagement campaign that generated 40-50 positive responses, a personalized outreach strategy using intent signals, and a creative Dreamforce campaign that scraped LinkedIn posts to pre-book meetings with attendees. Ankit shares his philosophy on strategic personalization and discusses how timing-based campaigns around industry events can dramatically boost response rates. Ankit also shares his vision for the future of the space: increasingly micro-targeted, intent-based campaigns as broad outreach becomes commoditized, and AI tools making GTM engineering accessible to non-technical sales professionals through natural language interfaces.

Enjoy 🙂
