How Advanced AI Workflows Are Changing Outbound - Jordan Crawford

Sep 17, 2024

49:46

In this episode, we unravel how advanced AI workflows can scale a truly effective outbound strategy (and not just create more spam).

Jordan Crawford shares his expertise on how to use AI to automate deep research, identify the most targeted accounts, and develop unique and relevant messaging—all without falling into the trap of reductive "AI SDR" approaches.

We also explore how to leverage AI as a thought partner, the future structure of BizDev teams, and why Clay is all the rage right now.

This November, MOps-Apalooza is back in sunny, Anaheim, California, and it's going to be the marketing ops event of the year, packed with hands-on learning from real practitioners.

This is the only truly community-led tech-agnostic MOPS conference out there. It's got the best speakers, the best networking, the best social events, and maybe even a trip to Disneyland. This isn't your 50,000 person tech company conference. It's an intimate gathering of folks who are in the trenches every day.

Registration is capped at 700 attendees, and tickets are going fast.
