Build it, step by step
Build it, step by step.
01
Define brand keyword list
Build a list of your company name, product names, common misspellings, and variations. These become the monitoring trigger.
- Company name (exact and common abbreviations)
- Product or feature names
- Variations and frequent misspellings
- Feed this list into Clay's LinkedIn post monitoring
02
Capture LinkedIn posts mentioning keywords
Clay monitors LinkedIn for any post containing your keywords and logs the URL, author profile, and timestamp. Each mention gets pushed to Slack for visibility.
- Post URL captured
- Author LinkedIn profile extracted
- Timestamp recorded
- Post URL sent to dedicated Slack channel for team awareness
03
Track all engagement on each post
For every captured post, Clay pulls the full engagement layer: who liked, who commented, who reposted. These are your warm signals.
- Likes (profile list)
- Comments (author profiles)
- Reposts (profile list)
- All three stored in separate Clay tables
04
Enrich company and contact attributes
Run each engaged profile through Clay enrichment to pull firmographic and contact data. This powers ICP filtering and scoring.
- Company: industry, size, geography, funding status
- Contact: role, seniority, department
- Store enriched data in three Clay tables (connections, impressions, engagement)
05
Qualify against ICP using AI
ChatGPT or Clay AI evaluates each contact for company fit, role relevance, and existing customer status. Disqualified contacts exit here.
- Company fit (size, vertical, geo)
- Role relevance (decision-maker or influencer)
- Existing customer check (de-dupe)
- Binary output: qualified or disqualified
06
Score qualified leads into tiers
Assign a numeric score based on engagement type, frequency, and company fit. Segment into Tier 1 (high), Tier 2 (medium), Tier 3 (low).
- Engagement type: comment > repost > like
- Frequency: repeat engager scores higher
- Company fit: tighter ICP match scores higher
- Tier 1: best fit, highest intent
- Tier 2: medium fit or lower intent
- Tier 3: weak fit or single low-signal touch
07
Route Tier 1 leads to high-touch outbound
Tier 1 leads trigger personalized outreach from executive or AE profiles across email and LinkedIn, plus Slack alerts to the team.
- Email sequence from C-level profile (Instantly)
- LinkedIn connection and message from AE (HeyReach)
- Additional LinkedIn touches from SDR or supporting profiles (HeyReach)
- Slack alert to sales team with context
08
Route Tier 2 and Tier 3 to automated sequences
Lower-tier leads enter standard nurture sequences on email and LinkedIn with lighter personalization and longer cadence.
- Email nurture sequence (Instantly)
- LinkedIn nurture sequence (HeyReach)
- No manual alerts; fully automated follow-up
