Hey Folks!

I’ve been talking the executive operations leadership team of a Fortune 200 company about the future of GTM.

The topic?

AI in sales.

More specifically…

How to empower their 6,000 person sales team to become Modern Sellers. It’s a topic that’s so important to company & CEO talks about it on their earnings calls.

So, what are the skillsets or capabilities of a modern seller? (Or what we like to call an “Augmented Seller”)

There’s a few that we talk about:

• Knows how to automate manual work/research

• Knows how to setup AI workflows to 1) create content faster 2) create better content

• Knows what models to use and when depending on their strengths

• Knows prompt engineering

• Adopts new tools to supercharge productivity

• Use all of the above to optimize time and have better conversations with customers

At Clay, we’re in hyper growth mode and most days are packed with meetings. I need all of the help I can get to save time. Especially, because I’m also creating LinkedIn content, providing product feedback, acting as both the AE & SE, and writing this newsletter and Claymation.io (my other newsletter on GTM Engineering).

The following are 10 apps that I use regularly in various parts of my day job and as a creator.

Would love to learn what you’re using. Reply and give me a shout!

2. Clay.com - The best data in the world for creative GTM workflows & automations to drive growth.

During the day, I use Clay to help customers source the best data in the world and then use that data to power workflows & automations for growth. (I share a lot of use cases on claymation.io)

We’re using Clay here at The Augmented Seller to grow. More on that later… but, to tease you with some of the initial results on a newly launched campaign:

3. Perplexity.ai - Search reimagined with AI.

• What it does: Perplexity.ai is an AI-powered answer engine that provides concise and accurate answers to user queries.

• Purpose: To offer users quick access to information without the need to sift through multiple search results.

Example research and output I used for a post I did on “How AI temperature impacts AI generated content.”

How I use it:

• Aggregate sources around a topic of interest

• Summarize those sources to quickly learn

• Prompt hacking to build prompts for GTM agents

4. Kondo - Superhuman, but for LinkedIn.

• What it does: Kondo streamlines LinkedIn messaging by allowing users to triage messages with labels and split inboxes, enhancing communication efficiency.

•  Purpose: To help professionals manage LinkedIn DMs effectively, ensuring important messages are prioritized and responded to promptly.

How I use it:

Fly through LinkedIn DMs like I do emails in Superhuman.

Now there is also a way to kick off workflows. For example, if you tag a message, then you can have it sent somewhere else (like a Clay table).

I haven’t played around with the creation of workflows yet, but very excited!

5. Superhuman - The fastest email app, ever.

• What it does: Superhuman is an AI-powered email client designed for high-performing teams and individuals, offering a fast and efficient email experience.

Favorite use case #2

Favorite use case #3

Move really fast. Leveraging snippets, shortcuts, and quick views of my calendar (pops out next to the email) when I need to check availability.

In general, Superhuman helps me get to (or at least closer to…) inbox zero.

6. Tana - AI powered note-taking.

• What it does: Tana is an AI-native workspace that transforms notes into actionable items like tasks, projects, and more, helping users stay organized.

• Purpose: To provide a dynamic workspace where notes seamlessly evolve into structured workflows, enhancing productivity.

How I use it:

There’s a gazillion ways to setup workflows or even create your own CRM of accounts, history, notes that you can take with you.

However, I use it for live transcripts and then have fields in my notes automatically filled out post meeting. For example: Challenges, Next Steps, etc. A bit similar to Gong, but all of the history and summaries are easier to access.

Meeting Agent:

Summaries & Super Tag System:

7. Xnapper.com - Beautiful screenshots worth sharing.

• What it does: Xnapper enables users to capture and edit beautiful screenshots instantly, even without design skills.

Create better screenshots like this one.

• What it does: Screen Studio is a professional screen recorder for macOS that produces high-impact videos automatically.

• Purpose: To help users create engaging screen recordings with minimal effort, suitable for demos, tutorials, and presentations.

Producing quick demos that are much more engaging with zoom in and out animations that are automatically created. Here’s an example of one that I included in a recent post How to Automate LinkedIn Signals to Email Outreach.

9. Puzzle - Easiest way to document workflows for your customers.

• What it does: Rapidly build workflow diagrams. Much easier and faster than Figma and others.

• Purpose: Document faster so you can bring others up to speed with easy step by step guides.

How I use it:

Example of a workflow that I recently built and documented in minutes. I’ll be posting about this one later…

Great to show customers how your tech will fit into their ecosystem + workflows.

10. ChatGPT - The OG of AI, but here’s a useful tip.

OK everyone knows this one.

But, here’s a trick to create a list of all your competitors’ customers listed on their website:

1. Take a screenshot of the logo page

2. Upload to ChatGPT

3. Ask it to make a list of all the companies that have logos listed

Some of the logo pages are long, so you’ll want to create a rolling screen capture.

That’s all for this week!
