Mohan ‎Muthoo 🇬🇧

Booking $13 billion company Grammarly for a client at Spring Drive.

Cold outbound.


We spend most of our time with clients on competitive differentiation, not automation (we do that too, its just not the point lol).

That's why we *resonate* for them with prospects, rather than saying the same thing as everyone else.

And actually generate meaningful pipeline.

Not...

"Just saw your got funded, here at Generic .ai we're flipping the script on..."


Only Becc Holland can flip the script (she is brilliant btw check her stuff out).


For everyone else there's Spring Drive.

Actually there's a few other great agencies too, not just us.

But if you do want to work with us, you can apply for a pilot at springdrive.co.


Or don't, do whatever you wanna do.

Mohan Muthoo

Most of our best clients at Spring Drive still book through strong email creative variants.


I can't tell you how many companies have spoken to us and said they've tried different AI SDRs and signal tools but that it's not generating anything.

The reason is fundamentally that GTM is a competitive sport, so tools that democratize outreach end up being used by everyone hence making certain messaging too common and thereby less effective.

You have to actually *think* (shocker I know) creatively about where your competitive edge is.

AI is now without question a fundamental layer in our system - no doubt.

But most teams are relying on it to produce quality rather than using it to assist in their strategy.

For pure automation this can be fine, but GTM is fundamentally competitive.

its not about automation or efficiency - thats just for us. its about differentiation and saying something interesting.

As a broad metaphor Clay talk about finding your GTM Alpha - taking that inch ahead of your competition creatively and strategically.

Using tools to *execute* is brilliant, you should.

But too many companies want to use tools to do the thinking for them and these companies are struggling as a result.


Here's a screenshot of us flooding our client with sales opps with clever outreach.

If you want to work with Spring Drive, Apply for a Pilot here:
https://tally.so/r/7R26PA

Getting replies like this reminds us that we're putting out strong positions for our clients at Spring Drive.


Especially knowing the end stats add up too (getting 20-30 leads a day for this client).

But again, its a reminder that most saturation is around messaging not channels.

Before you move on to another channel, ask someone who works on your channel for a living what they think of your campaign.

8/10 times, mistakes are being made that, if corrected, would well actually start reaping success.


Cold email is just another channel and everyone reads their emails.

Don't forget it.

Something I've been noticing more and more lately - the teams that are crushing outbound aren't necessarily better at writing emails or picking better leads.

They're just better at operating.

They've figured out how to monitor campaigns, swap what's not working, keep mailboxes healthy, and follow up at the right time, without it eating their entire day.

That's partly why what Smartlead just released with SmartAgents caught my attention.

I've been playing around with it and there are a few things that stood out:

1. There's a campaign optimizer agent that monitors all my active campaigns every 6 hours. If reply rates dip below 4% after enough sends, it swaps out underperforming mailboxes, and shifts send times.

2. A mailbox health agent that tracks domain health, figures out when I need new ones, buys them from SmartSender, and sets up warmup. 

3. A meeting booking agent that catches intent in replies, books through Calendly, drops prep notes into HubSpot, and pings me on Slack. That whole flow used to be 4-5 manual steps.

What I like is how you build them too. no code, no complex workflow builders. You describe what you want the agent to do in plain language and it deploys. That matters for teams that don't have a technical ops person.

You still need to review, tweak, and make the actual decisions. But the repetitive operational stuff that eats up a few hours a day? That's where these are useful.

Worth looking at if you're running any kind of volume:

Michel Lieben 🧠

Founder / CEO @ ColdIQ | Scale Outbound with AI & Tech 👉 coldiq.com

I’m (Michel) the Founder & CEO at ColdIQ, a sales prospecting agency (+ we compare the latest sales tech, too!).

We worked with 100+ B2B organizations (including SaaS & Agencies!) and are using Clay, Prospeo, FullEnrich, Instantly, Lemlist, Ocean.io - alongside other great sales tools - to run outbound campaigns that flood 🌊 our (and our clients’) inboxes with interested prospects.


We can help you:

• If you’re a B2B business leader who doesn’t have the time to handle your prospecting engine or to hire and manage salespeople… You can outsource your lead gen to us, and we’ll transparently show you the exact way we run your campaigns. (We’ll provide SOPs, too… if it works so well that you want to build your in-house team).


• If you’re a sales leader or an outbound agency owner: We’ll help you set up the exact systems & tools we use to run automated ‘trigger-based’ campaigns that convert like crazy. 


• And… if you simply want to improve your B2B sales automation skills or learn to run these campaigns yourself, we’ll teach you by building a campaign from scratch together with you —from ‘idea’ to ‘running campaign’ (we’ve done it more than 50 times already, and the rumour says people ❤️ed it).


We've launched hundreds of campaigns, so you don't have to.


Thus - if you: 
- are a B2B service/solution provider making > $50k/month
- provide solutions with Lifetime Value > $10k
- want to shortcut your outbound success


We can help.

Send a DM, and I'll share more details.

Hosted by Ivan Falco (Head of Growth) & Kenny Damian (Head of GTM) at ColdIQ.

February 26th - 1:30 PM EST

In case you missed the event....

Here's the link to the webinar recording - https://lnkd.in/eqNfrT7b

Founder & CEO at ColdIQ | Tomorrow’s GTM Systems, Built for you 👉 coldiq.com

Yesterday, > 1400 people watched Kenny Damian build an entire outbound campaign using Claude code.

He wrote a few prompts in the terminal, fed it a list of companies, and then...

Claude Code took over:

1. It scored and prioritised the entire company list against our ICP

2. It found verified email addresses through Apollo’s API

3. When Apollo didn’t have coverage, it automatically pulled in additional enrichment providers to fill the gaps

4. It wrote personalised copy templates on its own (based on our best-performing outreach)

5. Then it uploaded the entire campaign: leads, sequences, and copy... straight into Instantly.ai

It took fewer than 20 minutes.

This was just one of three demos we ran.

Right before that, Ivan Falco showed us how to automate ad campaign creation & 'warm' social prospecting.

Unfortunately, I can't upload the entire video here due to LinkedIn's file size limits.

If you couldn't attend: 

Here is the recording and the full playbook bundle (frameworks, SOPs, templates) so you can try this yourself -

https://lnkd.in/eD-WAHyU

Imagine only cold emailing leads who WANT to buy from you…

The closest way to do so? Leveraging buying signals:

The idea is that these signals help you:
- find relevant reasons to initiate contact
- re-activate existing prospects at the perfect moment
- surface new challenges to address in your messaging

… and much more.

There are several categories of signals:

1️⃣ First-Party Signals

↳ = Intent data gathered from your own business ecosystem.

These are prospects who already know you, actively taking steps like:

- utilizing your product
- browsing your website
- subscribing to your email list
- interacting with your brand on social platforms

Platforms that help you capture these signals include:

1. LinkedIn Signals: Clay, Expandi.io, Trigify.io, Jungler

2. Website Visitors: Instantly.ai, Clay, Midbound, Vector 👻

3. Product Usage: Common Room, Mixpanel, Pocus, PostHog

4. Call Transcripts: Attention, Fireflies, Claap

5. Gated Content: Distribute, Gamma


2️⃣ Second-Party Signals

↳ = Intent data sourced from your ecosystem, shared by partners.

Generally, prospects who have engaged with:

- your brand on a partner platform (e.g: checking out your listing on G2)
- your company, while employed at a different organization
- a partner of yours with an overlapping customer base

Examples include:

6. Champion Tracking: Clay, Common Room, Unify, UserGems 

7. Affinity Signals: Crossbeam, Reveal, The Swarm 🔆, PartnerStack

8. Ad Engagement: Fibbler, ZenABM, Factors AI

9. Software Marketplaces: G2, Capterra, ColdIQ


3️⃣ Third-Party Signals

↳ = Intent data sourced from external providers.

Thus, public signals indicating companies might benefit from your solution.

Examples include:

10. Technographic Data: Clay, PredictLeads, HG Insights, BuiltWith, Similarweb

11. Funding Announcements: PredictLeads, lemlist, Clay, Crunchbase, Owler, PitchBook, 

12. Web Data Agent: Claygent, Parallel Web Systems, Tavily, Common Room, Unify, Linkup, Perplexity, Manus AI

13. Job Openings: Common Room, PredictLeads, Clay, LoneScale, Mantiks, TheirStack, Lemlist

14. Custom Scraping: Apify, Firecrawl, Claygent, Instant Data Scraper

15. News Monitoring: PredictLeads, Google News, Exa

16. Ads Activity: Apify, Adyntel, Ahrefs

17. Firmographic Data: Prospeo, Wiza, Exa, DiscoLike

18. Lookalike Search: PredictLeads, DiscoLike

P.S: What’s one tool we should absolutely try?

I tried way too many AI Sales tools in 2025

Here are the categories I’m closely monitoring in 2026:

1/ Workflow Builders

Why?

↳ They allow you to create advanced, multi-step, automated prospecting workflows.

Example use-case: Running a signal-based Clay campaign that ranks leads, segments them into several tiers, adds an AI-personalized first line… and then pushes contacts to your preferred sequencer. 

Examples include:

→ n8n
→ Clay
→ Outbond
→ Relevance AI
→ Enginy (formerly Genesy)


2/ MCPs

Why?

↳ They allow AI agents to execute actions by connecting to your tools. Without you needing to manually open them.

Example use-case: Connecting Claude MCP to Google Calendar so that it…

1. Checks how many sales calls you have today
2. Researches each prospect
3. Provides relevant talking points for the qualified ones…
4. Cancels meetings with unqualified leads.

All that, without opening your calendar app.

You can prompt via tools such as:
→ Cursor
→ Claude Code

And connect to your apps using:
→ Docker, Inc
→ Pipedream
→ Composio


3/ AI Coding Tools

Why?

↳ They enable you to write code in plain English. These can be leveraged to build complex workflows.

Example use-case: Build a phone number finder to collect email addresses.

My personal favourites include:
→ Cursor
→ Claude Code
→ OpenAI Codex

Other platforms include:
→ Warp
→ Cline
→ Replit
→ Lovable
→ Windsurf


4/ All-in-One Sales Platforms

Why?

↳ They consolidate all essential cold outreach capabilities into one software.

Example use-case: Warming up domains, assembling a lead list, monitoring relevant signals, enriching contact data & automating outreach within a single platform. 

Examples include:

→ Instantly.ai
→ Expandi
→ Artisan
→ lemlist


5/ Sourcing Agents

Why?

↳ They gather data autonomously, given a set of prompts.

Example use-case: Sourcing a list of Sales Leaders, based in SF, in VC-based startups that have > 5X’d revenue 2 years in a row within the last 3 years… by simply telling Exa, in plain English, that this is the list you’re looking to build.

Examples:

→ Parallel Web Systems
→ Relevance AI
→ Claygent
→ Linkup
→ Tavily
→ Apify
→ Exa


6/ Conversation Intelligence

Why?

↳ They record meetings & surface relevant insights from your business conversations.

Example use-case: Reviewing your latest 100 sales calls via Attention’s agent to identify the most frequent objections your sales team receives from prospects.

Examples:

→ Momentum.io
→ Fireflies.ai
→ Attention
→ Claap


7/ Signal Platforms

Why?

↳ They track intent signals to help you uncover prospects in buying mode.

Example use-case: Monitoring previous product buyers (champions) in Common Room, to pitch your solution when they move to a new company (that doesn’t use your product yet!)

Examples:

→ Common Room
→ PredictLeads
→ TheirStack
→ Clay

P.S: What AI Sales software category are you betting on in 2026?

AI Sales Categories (2026)

Most companies bet their LinkedIn strategy on the Founder.

We turned 24 employees into LinkedIn influencers:

In the span of 90 days, it led to:

581 LinkedIn publications,

adding up to:
> 43,000 reactions (likes, supports, loves)
> 28,000 post comments
> 34,000 new followers

Craziest part about all this is that I'm convinced most B2B teams can replicate this playbook 'pretty' easily.

P.S: What's your favourite GTM API for Claude Code?

Top 27 GTM APIs for Claude Code

44 data sources to find prospects in any niche...

...and 7 different ways to source this data:


1. Leverage sourcing agents

Use platforms like Airtop, Clay, Exa, Perplexity, Manus AI or Relevance AI and describe in plain/natural language what you're looking for.

Their agents handle the rest.


2. Use 'standard' B2B databases

Use filters such as “job title”, “location”, “employee count”, “headcount growth” within standard databases like Prospeo, Wiza, Apollo, LinkedIn & DiscoLike 

…or using niche databases like Openmart, influencers.club… 

to find your target data.


3. Target by technology

Use APIs like PredictLeads, or platforms like TheirStack, BuiltWith & BuyerCaddy to find companies using a specific technology.

Their use of this tech should suggest they’re a great lead for you.


4. Target companies showing buying intent for your offering category.

Monitor companies’ activity, including:
- Job openings
- Funding events
- Social engagement
- Tech/software changes

Via tools like Clay, PredictLeads, Common Room, and Trigify.io to infer potential buying willingness. 


5. Custom data extraction

P.S: Who's your go-to to source accurate B2B data?

44 Data Sources

300+ hours testing Claude Code vs. Cursor to run our GTM...

Here’s my 'final' vibe marketing stack at $7M ARR:

1. Conductor (free)
- My go-to interface to run Claude Code & Codex's latest models.
- UI is much nicer than a terminal + it lets you effortlessly toggle between Codex & Claude Code.


2. Claude Code ($100/mo)
My central hub for all API & MCP calls.

We leverage it for lots of GTM activities, beyond outbound:

→ Creating mini-tools for lead generation.
→ Data scraping + enrichment workflows.
→ Deep SEO analysis via Google Analytics MCP.
→ Entire ad campaign + outbound campaigns creation.
→ List building through Wiza, Prospeo, FullEnrich & Exa's APIs.

...

3. OpenAI Codex ($20/mo)
I barely touch it, honestly.

Mostly for the occasional build that Opus couldn’t crack.

It plugs natively into Conductor, so maintaining access at $20/mo is an easy call.


4. Cursor ($60/mo)
- I began with Cursor. Loved the UI, so I was running Claude Code inside it.
- I used it to design/build some really sharp landing pages.

...but Conductor now covers everything I need with both Claude Code & Codex baked in, with an even slicker UI so… I'm cancelling Cursor.


5. Vercel
- We host all our mini-apps & our site here.


6. GitHub


7. Lovable
- Relied on it early for prototyping & our first mini-tools.
- Solid starting point, but CC is simply stronger for what we’re doing.

--

APIs (where it gets interesting)

Claude Code is an incredibly handy way to orchestrate API calls.

No need to grasp how APIs function; you just feed it your platform’s API documentation, and it sorts out the connection by itself.

Here are some GTM APIs I wire into it:

- PredictLeads: Company intelligence data (covering hiring signals, tech stacks, and funding details).

Example use case: Calling its API from Claude to reveal target companies’ tech stacks.

- Exa: Generates lead lists in natural language.

Example use case: Call its API to “Find Series A fintech companies in Europe”.

- LeadsFactory: “Find people API”

Example use case: Leveraging it within CC to locate people by job title, given a list of domain URLs // LinkedIn company URLs.

- Google Analytics MCP: This produced one of the most insightful custom SEO reports I’ve come across. It surfaced gaps we had overlooked for months in a matter of minutes.

- Apify to tap into custom scraping actors.

- Openmart: Local B2B database.

Write like the top 1%

Snowflake hit $4,000,000 ARR with 60% of its pipeline generated by SDRs.

Here’s their strategy (and how you can reproduce it):

First, you need to ensure your departments collaborate towards the same objective.

For Snowflake: Marketing, SDRs & Sales sit under ONE SINGLE team.

They ran the experiment for specific regions.

- The ones that did it had up to 46% meeting rates.
- The ones that didn’t do this had 17% meeting rates.

1️⃣ Alignment

Marketing & Sales operate hand in hand.

Marketing collects insights to be leveraged by the sales team.
The sales team executes on them within 2 weeks.

Seems obvious, but truth is most companies have these 2 teams working in silos.


2️⃣ Intelligence

Snowflake leverage signals a lot.
Their rationale is to get in front of prospects as soon as they’re exploring their use cases.

They do that via:

- Third-party intent signals (job changes, funding rounds, web searches)

And further down the funnel via:
- First-party intent signals (product usage, email clicks, website visits).

They rely on tools such as Bombora to detect accounts showing interest in the background. I’d suggest leveraging Clay, PredictLeads or Common Room for this.

Accounts flagged as “high intent” convert 4x better than standard accounts in the CRM.


3️⃣ Activation

When accounts display enough buying intent, Snowflake’s teams deploy their “1-2 punch” play.

That is:

Weeks 1 & 2: ABM team nurtures target accounts with personalised campaigns (ads + emails + dedicated landing pages)

Week 3: SDRs jump in with outbound.

By the time an SDR cold calls a prospect… they’re already not cold anymore.

Result = 36% meeting rates on pre-warmed accounts (vs. 10% on cold)

4️⃣ Engagement

They reach prospects everywhere they are.

→ Calls
→ Cold Emails
→ LinkedIn DMs
→ Custom microsites

True multichannel orchestration.

(I’d suggest leveraging a platform like lemlist to replicate this omnichannel engagement)

5️⃣ Optimisation

They continuously iterate on what works and what doesn’t.

Performance metrics get shared between the teams in bi-weekly alignment meetings.

ABM, SDRs, & AEs are all informed of what works in terms of messaging & targeting.

But they don’t try to attribute who’s responsible for the deal precisely.

Instead, they measure impact at the account level and optimise the entire funnel together.

The outcomes speak for themselves:

→ Deal velocity multiplied by 2.
→ Tier-1 accounts convert 5x better.
→ 2-4X more meetings on ABM accounts.

… and you don’t need Snowflake’s budget or 200+ SDRs to start executing on it.

You can start by:

- Aligning marketing & sales on shared objectives.
- Tracking buying signals 
- Launch ABM campaigns 2 weeks before starting outbound.

… and measure impact at the account level.

And if it feels like too much at once, send a DM… we’ll help you implement this system.

Snowflake $4B ARR

How to turn $233,000 in LinkedIn ad spend into > $1,500,000 in closed revenue?

We're showing the entire playbook today. Live

CONTEXT

AirOps had a great product trusted by Webflow, Ramp, Carta and LegalZoom. But their pipeline had been stuck at ~$536K/month for almost a year.

We built a full ABM motion combining outbound + LinkedIn Ads, hitting the same accounts from every angle.


WHAT WE'LL COVER:

Account-Based Outbound
→ Building and tiering target account lists with Clay using fit + intent signals
→ Syncing outbound and LinkedIn Ads to hit the same companies from both sides
→ Signal-triggered plays that changed based on account engagement stage

Thought Leader Ads
→ Why we put 80% of ad spend behind founder content, not product ads
→ Using webinars as an outbound play - 112 positive replies from input-request invites
→ Cross-channel feedback loops between outbound and paid

The Results
→ $7.8M qualified pipeline
→ $1.5M closed-won revenue
→ 164 deals created, 30 closed-won
→ 15x pipeline ROI on $233K ad spend
→ 1,058 outbound replies
→ Ad spend scaled 20x with positive ROI

We won't keep it high-level. We'll show the exact system: TAM to TAL to signal stack to coordinated touches to pipeline.

Hosted by Ivan Falco (Head of Growth at ColdIQ) and Eoin Clancy (VP of Growth at AirOps).
