Frequently asked questions

How does Sculptor find B2B leads by industry or location?

Sculptor queries Apollo, People Data Labs, and 150+ other sources in parallel to surface companies matching your target industry or location. It then runs waterfall enrichment through Hunter, Datagma, and Dropcontact to locate each VP of Sales email, and pulls verified headcount from Apollo's firmographic data. Every result lands in a single Clay table row with company name, email, and employee count ready for export.

How accurate are the B2B leads and emails Sculptor returns?

Waterfall enrichment lifts verified email coverage from roughly 30% with a single provider to 80% or higher across multiple providers, according to Clay's published benchmarks. In Clay's own test of 2,354 prospects, the waterfall returned an 88.7% valid-email rate. Apollo's Enrich Company action cross-checks headcount against firmographic records, so employee counts stay current as companies grow or shrink.

Can I find B2B leads for a whole list at once?

Yes. Paste a list of target industries or locations, upload a CSV of company domains, or pipe rows from an existing Clay table to run Sculptor across every entry in one pass. Each row returns company name, VP of Sales email, and headcount. Push the finished table directly to HubSpot, Salesforce, or Pipedrive, or download as a CSV to load into your sales sequencer.

Is it legal to cold email B2B leads found through Clay?

In the U.S., the CAN-SPAM Act permits unsolicited commercial email to business addresses as long as you include a valid physical address, identify the message as an ad, and honor opt-out requests within 10 business days. Penalties reach up to $53,088 per non-compliant email. In the EU, GDPR Article 6(1)(f) allows B2B outreach under a legitimate-interest basis, but you must document that interest and offer a clear way to object.

Regulations vary by country and state, so always check the rules for your jurisdiction before launching a campaign.
