Newsletter #1

ColdIQ Sales Tech Lab 🧠👨‍🔬

Thanks, everyone for being patient with us. Our growth over the last few months didn’t allow us to have time to write this newsletter and I wanted to make sure I will be able to write it consistently.

This is the case now, so I will do my best to make this weekly newsletter worthy of your time.

If you’re new around here, every week, we will share the 5 best things in sales tech we discovered in the past 7 days.

Tool of the Week ⚙️

This week's featured tool is Smartlead. I don’t think the tool needs to be presented to many of you anymore. Every email we send to our clients or for ourselves at ColdIQ is powered by Smartlead.

Vaibhav and his team are shipping faster than most big enterprise software teams and I have never seen any product listening so closely to their community.

If you’re looking for a sales engagement platform with a complete suite of features to stay out of spam, look no further than them.

Profile of the Week 👤

We want to highlight profiles of people we respect in sales tech every week and this week, we wanted to introduce Taylor. Many people have an opinion about outbound topics but very few deserve the confidence of talking about complex topics like email infrastructure and deliverability. Taylor is humble and knows more than most people in the industry. Be like Taylor (and give him a follow!) 😉

Post of the Week 📈

In our post of the week, Bruno Estrella, Growth at Clay and ex-Webflow, shares his thoughts on the most underrated question in startup growth: "How are we growing?" Bruno breaks down the key "fits" needed to reach sustainable growth and discusses how Clay is assessing growth bets, particularly in growth marketing.

Data Source of the Week 👩🏻‍💻

FullEnrich takes the spotlight as our data source of the week. This powerful waterfall enrichment tool helps you find any email or phone number. They combine contact info from 15+ premium vendors. If they can’t find the emails & phone numbers of your leads, no one else can.

Play of the Week 🚀

Finally got started with Youtube too. In this video, I am showing one of our most successful workflows at ColdIQ. Showing you how to leverage AI to identify and engage companies actively hiring for sales roles, turning them into potential clients.
