HeyReach.io had their $10M ARR party in Skopje at the weekend, which I’d been planning to go to right up until I got my end-of-semester exam timetable.

That said, my Monday got a whole lot better when I walked out of my first exam and saw they’d shipped a Smartlead integration on top of the Instantly.ai one they launched a few weeks ago.

As someone who uses both depending on the client and project, having them both slot cleanly into my favourite LinkedIn tool is very, very handy.

So shoutout to Nick V., Vaibhav Namburi and their teams for launching yet another awesome update. And Nick, I promise I’ll make it to the next party 😅

Bit random, but I just wanted to give Harris Kenny over at OutboundSync a quick shoutout...

Had a quick call with him earlier and feel like what he's built needs some more exposure.

If you want more visibility into you or your client's outbound metrics, live in a CRM, talk to him.

Great tool, used by the best, and you only get that "wow" moment when you chat to him over a call.

No affiliation, just impressed.

Hiring proper GTM talent is becoming a genuine challenge for teams these days - and not because there aren’t good people out there, but because most founders still aren’t fully sure what they’re looking for, and most operators aren’t sure how to position themselves either.

So this Thursday at 5.30pm CET, I’m hosting a Club Guestroom with Noëmie Jacquemin, who knows this world better than almost anyone I’ve met.

She’s a specialist GTM talent partner based in London, and she’s helped teams like Instantly.ai, C17 Lab and The GTMA find and hire GTM and RevOps talent from all over the world.

On the call, we’re going to cover things like:

➤ How she actually defines these roles in the real world
➤ The skills founders should and shouldn't be hiring for
➤ How operators can position themselves properly to land better roles

These calls are normally exclusive to members of Clay Club Europe, but this one’s too valuable to keep inside the group - so I’m opening it up to everyone. If you or someone you know is a founder, an operator, or anyone in the GTM space, you'll take something practical from this one.

If you want the link to join, just comment “GTME” and I’ll DM you the registration link. Feel free to send it to any friends or colleagues who’d find this useful too.

This is one of those events you’ll either be at… or hear about afterwards. Pick your side 😎

Quick reminder for today’s Guestroom 👇

Today @ 5.30pm CET Johannes Fessler will be breaking down how we can fix our mindsets to stop holding ourselves back, so that we can actually achieve our goals and become the people we want to be.

This mindset stuff can often sound very wishy-washy, so I asked him to record a short video giving a bit more context on who he is and the kind of people he normally works with - Watch it below!

If you’re already in CCE, the registration link is in the group.
If you’re not and you’re based in or from Europe, DM me and I’ll add you if it makes sense.

Local-business outbound is one of those channels that works extremely well when it’s done properly… and terribly when it’s not.

So this Thursday @ 5.30pm CET, I’m hosting a Clay Club Europe Guestroom with Preeti Malik, Co-Founder of Digital Creativs, for a practical session on scraping and running outbound campaigns for local businesses.

Preeti runs an outbound agency that helps B2B SaaS & service-based businesses build predictable lead-gen systems, and she’s spent a lot of time working with businesses selling to local markets - which behave very differently to SaaS or enterprise outbound.

On the call, we’ll cover things like:

➤ How she approaches researching and scraping local-business lead lists
➤ How outbound to local markets differs from "standard" B2B campaigns
➤ How she structures email & LinkedIn outreach to actually get replies
➤ What tends to work, what doesn’t, and why

The format will be very hands-on and conversational - Preeti will walk through her process, and we’ll leave plenty of time for questions.

These Guestrooms are normally exclusive to CCE members, but like the last one with Noëmie J., I’m opening this up to everyone because it’s a topic a lot of people have been discussing these days.

If you want to join, comment “LOCAL” and I’ll DM you the link to register.

If you work with local outbound (or have clients who do), you’ll take something practical from this one 😎

Movember ended yesterday, which means most people have already shaved off their moustaches - or in my case, the bit of fuzz I pretended was one 😂

Whether you took part or not, it’s worth remembering why this initiative even exists. It’s not just a challenge or an excuse not to shave - it was created to spread awareness for a global crisis that doesn’t get anywhere near the attention it should.

More than 700,000 people take their own lives every year, and around 75% of them are men. That’s roughly 1,400 men a day, 60 men an hour, and one man every minute. By the time you finish reading this post, another son, brother, partner or friend will be gone - and someone close to them will be sitting there trying to make sense of signs they never saw.

And that’s what I don’t like about these campaigns. Yes, driving awareness helps, but at the end of the day our support systems still expect the person who’s suffering to be the one who speaks up first. How ridiculous is it that we expect someone who’s overwhelmed to initiate a difficult conversation with someone who may or may not take it seriously?

You can’t build a solution around the assumption that the person in pain will be the one to start talking. It’s not realistic. When your mental health isn’t in a good place, even simple things feel heavier than they should - never mind opening up about something you can barely process yourself.

The alternative isn’t complicated. Instead of hoping the person who’s struggling will take that first step, we take it for them. Not by becoming their therapist, or having all the answers, but by being the one who starts the uncomfortable conversation and stays long enough for it to matter.

For you, it’s a few minutes of awkwardness.
For them, it’s a sign that someone actually cares.

And the reality is you don’t always know who needs it. Some of the people who seem the happiest or most put-together are the ones carrying the heaviest stuff - they just hide it well, or joke their way around it, or don’t want to be a burden.

Reaching out doesn’t fix everything. But it lifts some of the weight off their shoulders - weight that can feel impossible to carry when they think they’re carrying it alone.

So shave the moustache, keep it, pretend you had one to begin with, whatever suits you. What matters is using things like Movember as a reminder to check in on the people you care about, especially the ones who look like they never need it.

That tiny effort on your end could very well be what keeps them around.

You'll either be there today... or hear about it for the next few weeks.
