Claudeforce is the partnership. Salesforce in Claude is the product, and it is in pilot. Here is what ships, what is only announced, and what Salesforce has not published.
Claude reads, sorts and writes about the leads you bring it. Anthropic's own documentation is clear about the rest. Here is what it reaches, and what it costs.
You have no brand, no case studies and no fee history. Here is what is actually documented about winning a first client, including the policy nobody warns you about.
Every page lists the same six channels and none of them ranks. No trade body publishes a hit rate. Here is what working recruiters report, and where they disagree.
The published caps are 2,000 to 10,000 a day. The number that actually gets you flagged is 0.3%. Here is what to send instead, with sources.
Apollo sells you a database and a sequencer in one seat price. Clay sells you neither. It buys data from 150+ providers on your behalf. They stack; they don't swap.
A live job posting is not proof of hiring intent. Five corroborated signals, backed by four studies, tell you which postings are worth a message.
You're about to pay $120 to $160 a month for Sales Navigator hoping it lifts the connection-request wall. It won't. Here's exactly what it changes instead.
Apollo, UpLead, RocketReach, and Cognism all publish accuracy numbers near 95-98%. None measure the same thing, and no independent party has tested them against each other.
Nobody has measured which channel gets more replies. What can be measured is which ceiling you hit first, and at ten hours a week only one of the two binds.
Seven fields, one of them conditional, and a wait measured in days rather than minutes. What LinkedIn's connections export actually hands you.
A phone number costs eight credits on Apollo, five on Lusha and nothing extra on UpLead. Read at source, with what each vendor does and does not publish.
