When Persana works
You know your ICP cold, need a massive database, and want to build custom enrichment workflows. Persana's Clay-like flexibility is great for data-driven sales teams.

You need customers, not a database. You want to go from "I built this" to "people are buying this" without becoming a data analyst first.
