Clay Club Manila brought together a small group of builders, marketers, and founders for an intimate afternoon of learning, strategy-sharing, and AI-powered experimentation. It was an invite-only gathering designed for people who don’t just want to learn tools, but want to turn them into outcomes.

From inbound automation to AI scrapers and smart pricing strategies, here’s a breakdown of what went down at the latest Clay Club Manila meetup.

What We Covered

Automating Inbound Strategies with Clay

Speaker: Jerico Dela Cruz

Jerico opened the session by sharing how he uses Clay to build inbound engines that work around the clock. He showed how to automate workflows that identify, qualify, and engage leads in real time all without manual input. This included using Clay to:

• Enrich form submissions automatically
  

• Build content-driven lead flows
  

• Score and tag inbound contacts based on engagement signals
  
  

Jerico’s session was a great reminder that Clay isn’t just for outbound, it can be a powerhouse for demand generation too.

Building an Outbound Tech Stack That Scales

Speaker: Luis Ortega
Luis focused on creating a lean but powerful outbound motion using modern tools. His stack included:

• Clay for list building and sequence automation
  

• Leadmagic and Findymail for contact discovery
  

• Reoon for email verification
  

• Vayne for intent-based prospecting
  
  

Luis also shared tactical tips on writing better cold emails, automating follow-ups, and using enrichment layers to improve reply rates.

Using AI Scrapers to Find LinkedIn Job Opportunities

Speaker: Joshua Macaldo

Joshua’s talk was centered on how to build AI-powered scrapers that can find job opportunities on LinkedIn at scale. Using a combination of:

• Stealthkit, Jobspy, and ChatGPT for scraping and parsing logic
  

• Cursor as the development environment
  
  

He showed a full workflow that identifies new job posts from LinkedIn, extracts relevant data, and sends it to Clay for outreach preparation. This kind of automation opens up huge potential for freelancers, recruiters, and sales teams when it comes to gathering targeted lead lists.

How to 5x Your Earnings with Clay

Speaker: Ericson Dalusong
The highlight of the event was Ericson’s framework for turning Clay skills into a profitable service business. He broke down four key principles:

1. Focus on outcomes – Clients don’t care about tools, they care about results. Structure your offering around what they get, not what you do.
   

2. Target the right clients – Ideal clients are those who have budget, need speed, and understand the value of automation.
   

3. Give value first – Offering free audits, prototypes, or ideas upfront can build trust and open doors for upsells.
   

4. Use smart pricing strategies – Move away from hourly rates. Package your services based on value, not time.
   
   

This session was packed with real-world examples and practical advice for anyone looking to monetize their Clay skills or scale an agency.

Tools We Explored

These were the key tools discussed during the sessions:

• Clay – data workflow and enrichment engine
  

• DeepSeek, Claude, ChatGPT – AI models for smart agents and scraping logic
  

• Cursor – AI-assisted coding IDE
  

• Vayne – prospect intent detection
  

• Leadmagic, Findymail – contact enrichment tools
  

• Reoon – email validation tool
  
  

What Made the Event Special

The format was intentionally intimate and discussion-based. The event focused on conversations around problems, strategies, and tools that are actually being used in the field. It felt more like a mastermind session than a traditional meetup.
