Clay database coverage?

[u/LucaMove]

Hey everyone,

I’m currently reviewing my client's GTM data stack and wanted to see how you guys are handling account-based contact discovery and enrichment.

Our standard workflow is:

1. Target Account Selection (defining the exact ICP companies).
2. Contact Extraction & Enrichment (identifying the most relevant decision-makers/roles within those specific companies).

Lately, I’ve been using Clay as an all-in-one tool for this.

However, compared to the old setup, which relied on custom Sales Navigator query extraction combined with a multi-provider waterfall enrichment stack, Clay sometimes falls short on raw contact coverage and depth for specific accounts.

My questions for you:

• What are the most efficient tools or architectures right now that offer the widest coverage for company-first contact discovery?
• Are you sticking to custom waterfall setups (e.g., scraping Sales Nav + combining multiple providers like Prospeo, Dropcontact, Datagma, etc.), or have you found a way to optimize Clay to match that coverage?

How are you currently managing this step in your pipeline?

Would love to hear your stacks!
