Strategy Overview

Use waterfall enrichment to search multiple data providers sequentially—you only pay when a result is found, maximizing coverage while controlling costs. Clay offers 100+ data providers accessible with credits.

Step-by-Step Process

1. Find professional profiles first — Since you have names and addresses, use AI (Claygent) or Google searches to locate LinkedIn profiles or company domains. Clay works best with profile URLs or company domains as starting points. See the Jigsaw Framework for guidance.

2. Run email enrichment waterfalls — Once you have profile URLs, set up sequential enrichment across providers using waterfall enrichment.
