Let AI do the heavy lifting for your Sales.

Your sales team is drowning in manual tasks: prospecting, lead research, CRM hygiene. 
They’re busy, but not productive. And your pipeline shows it.

Every hour wasted on boring and tedious tasks is a deal not closed.
You’re paying top talent to do what AI could handle in seconds. 

Meanwhile, your competitors are already automating and scaling with precision. 
Fall behind, and it’s game over.

TC9 builds AI-powered GTM engines that do the heavy lifting, so your team can focus on closing, not clicking. 

We blend strategy, automation, and intent signals to unlock growth at scale.
No fluff. Just efficiency at every level.

Varun, cofounder at Clay, extended his European tour to add Paris.
The call for French croissants was too strong.

Or it's the incredible French Clay community that got him excited.

Probably both.

Anyway, we had to make it count!

So we decided to go big, and to involve some major actors in the GTM industry!

Here are the (amazing) speakers:

​- Varun Anand (ofc) - CEO and Cofounder Clay
- ​Charles Tenot - CEO lemlist
- ​Frank Sondors 🥓 - CEO Salesforge 🔥
- ​Pierre-Baptiste Landoin - CEO Icypeas
- ​Valentin W. - Founder Findymail

I'll be honored to host this event with the Clay Club Paris 🇫🇷 and with Bill Stathopoulos from SalesCaptain.

Two years ago, I was playing around with my first Clay tables.

Next week, I’m co-hosting an event that would’ve blown my mind.

This is happening next week, Dec 4th at 6:00 pm, in Paris.

Let AI do the heavy lifting for your Revenue.

Stop treating your prospects like a mass audience.
They’ll notice.

Shift from a "1 to many" mindset to genuine 1-1 communication.

Your emails should feel like they were crafted specifically for each recipient

Not just another mass outreach attempt.

Here are 9 ways to improve your cold emails:

1️⃣ Research the prospect’s industry

Understand the specific challenges and trends in their industry.

Identify what keeps them up at night.

Tailor your message to address these issues directly
Offering a solution that fits their needs.

3️⃣ Highlight common interests

Find common ground.

Whether you went to the same school or have a mutual connection.

Mentioning this can make your email stand out.

4️⃣ Reference their work

Mention a recent project or achievement of theirs.

This shows you’re genuinely interested in them.
Not just looking to sell something.

5️⃣ Keep it short and sweet

No one has time to read a novel.
Be concise and get to the point quickly.
Respect their time.

6️⃣ Follow up thoughtfully

If you don’t get a response, send a follow-up email.
Reference your previous email.

Add something new to keep the conversation going.

Let your personality shine in your emails.
Be yourself.

8️⃣ Offer value

How to fail your cold email campaigns:
(and what to do instead)

In cold email, your opening lines are crucial.

Besides your subject line, this is what will make your prospect read your email (or not).

Some of the best lines to be sure to fail:

→ "Let me introduce myself."
→ "I am sorry to disturb you."
→ "Did you enjoy your weekend?"
→ "I hope this email finds you well."
→ "Did you know that [random fact]?"
→ “I saw your page and decided to reach out."
→ "Would you be interested in [your services]?"

Now, instead of these clichés, here are a few tips so you are relevant to your prospects:

→ Do thorough research (or let AI do it for you)
→ Include a clear and low-commitment CTA
→ Demonstrate industry knowledge
→ Offer a free (and good) resource
→ Highlight unique selling points
→ Be a teacher, not a preacher
→ Personalize your approach
→ Focus on their pain points
→ Provide value upfront
→ Be concise and clear
→ Use social proof
→ Be human

I hope this helps! 🙌

I’ve been doing cold email for the last 7 years.
Many things changed, but not these 3 key principles.

Cold email still works incredibly well.
But most people still do it wrong.

Master these 3 key principles, and you will be future-proof:

(no matter the latest changes from Gmail)

1️⃣ - Get your targeting right

If you’re not sure who you’re talking to, you’re not doing cold email.

You’re spamming.

A clear ICP means reputation saved, easier list building, and relevance.

2️⃣ - Get your technical infrastructure right

Technical setup was always important.
It’s now non-negotiable.

Fix your deliverability or be invisible, no matter how good your offer is.

I used to deal with the technical setup manually.
(and it wasn’t fun)

Today, tools like Zapmail.ai handle everything for me.
I definitely recommend you do the same!

3️⃣ - Get your messages right

A.k.a. being relevant.
Not clever. Not cute. Not vague.

Just real, researched, and resonant.
Anything less gets ignored.

Cold email isn’t dead, it just grew up.

The rules changed. But these principles didn’t.

And today is your chance to upgrade your infrastructure for a ridiculously low price!

Zapmail.ai is going crazy on Black Friday promotions:

→ Super cheap pre-warmed domains + mailboxes
→ $9.99 .COM domains (cheapest anywhere)
→ ZapShield domain protection → lifetime
→ Inbox placement tests → lifetime
→ Zapbox (unified inbox) → free

I rarely promote tools like this, but this one is too good to be ignored!

3 Key Principles After 7 Years Of Cold Email

Sales teams are quietly splitting into two very different worlds.
And one of them is dying.
 
Old habits block growth.
Leading your Sales reps to burn out fast.
 
Now is the time for smart systems to scale better.
 
The old school way:
→ Reps get stuck with long, costly contracts.
→ Rely on massive SDR teams to hit impossible targets.
→ Churn explodes when exhaustion sets in.
 
The new way:
→ GTM engineers choose flexible, usage-based tools.
→ They build lean sales engines powered by automation.
→ Satisfaction soars with performance that scales.
 
Manual work doesn’t make you valuable.
Automation makes you unstoppable.
 
The best sales pros don’t fear tech.

They design it.

In case you missed it, I'm proudly hosting an exclusive Clay event on Thursday!

Varun Anand, cofounder of Clay, added Paris to his European tour.

He’s going to drop GTM gems for 2026 and beyond.

This is the future of GTM, all in one room.

If you’re around, this is the room to be in.

The guest list is almost full. Don't miss out!
It's happening in two days!
