03

Matched rows show contact name and verified email

The finished table has contact name and verified Head of RevOps email for matched rows. Sync target accounts to HubSpot or Salesforce and route hot signals to Slack so reps act in real time.

Role-filtered people search by buying committee

Role-filtered people search by buying committee

Get the right 1 to 5 contacts per account, not every employee on record. Clay's Find People scopes to job title, seniority, and department so only relevant committee members land in your table.

Waterfall coverage for verified work emails

Verified emails on matched contacts come from Clay's waterfall through 150+ providers, stopping at the first hit and charging credits only on a match. Coverage lifts 2 to 3x versus a single provider.

Frequently asked questions

How does Sculptor find decision-makers at target accounts?

Sculptor uses Clay's Find People feature to filter your target account list by job title (e.g., VP of Sales), seniority, and location. It then runs waterfall enrichment across 12+ email-finding providers in sequence, stopping at the first verified match. Each row returns the company name and a VP of Sales email, ready to push into your sequencer or CRM.

How accurate are the decision-maker emails Sculptor finds?

Coverage typically lands between 30% and 80%+ depending on your target segment, because Clay's waterfall sequences 12+ providers and can triple coverage compared to relying on a single source like ZoomInfo. Each email passes through a verification step before it reaches your table, so bounce rates stay low and your sender reputation stays intact.

Can I find DMs across hundreds of accounts at once?

Yes. Paste your full account list, upload a CSV, or pipe accounts from an existing Clay table. Sculptor processes every row in parallel, finds matching VP-level contacts, and enriches emails in bulk. When the table is complete, push the entire list to HubSpot, Salesforce, Outreach, or Salesloft in one step to launch your ABM sequences.

Is it legal to cold-email decision-makers I find this way?

In the U.S., the CAN-SPAM Act allows unsolicited B2B email as long as you include a valid physical address, a clear unsubscribe mechanism, and accurate sender information. In the EU and UK, GDPR permits B2B outreach under a documented legitimate-interest basis, but you must honor opt-out requests promptly. Canada's CASL is stricter and generally requires prior consent.

Always check the rules for your jurisdiction before launching outreach, and keep your suppression lists up to date.
