Fix Your Broken ABM Account List with Clay & AI — Vincent Chapus

Most ABM campaigns fail before the first email goes out. The account list is wrong. The signals are stale. And the CRM is full of dead data nobody cleaned. Vincent Chapus is the co-founder of Palladio GTM, where he helps B2B companies implement Clay-powered revenue systems — from data foundation to multi-channel execution. Before going independent, he led sales development at Oracle, PayPal, and Tibco. In this episode he joins me and co-host Stefan Repin to break down exactly why most ABM account lists are broken — and how to fix them with real signals and AI.
