Alex Vacca's GTM agency Frontal, which says Claude does about 90% of its work, mapped Design Pickle's lead flow and cut the steps that didn't help before automating anything. The rebuilt outbound system almost tripled weekly demos.
What they built
One system inside HubSpot. Vector identifies companies browsing the site, and Clay moves from basic list-building to enrichment and qualification logic. Segment-specific messages go to marketing leaders and agency owners, a deliverability setup gets emails into the inbox, and everything syncs back to HubSpot. Frontal's method is to prove each step by hand on 25 accounts before turning it into a Claude Code skill or agent.
The result
Agency-reported: 58 demos booked in 14 days (about 29 a week, up from about 10). AE calendars went from under 50% to 100% full and Design Pickle hired more AEs.
