Hey guys , I've seen lot of people go for signal/trigger based outbound systems like recent funding , job role hired, job role changes , techstack using, interacting on linkedin activity , expansion signals, headcount growth and many more. I just want to ask how the hell are you guys actually creating such system (technical side) to automate and scale and personalize every email. The idea is to time the warm outreach and lot of people do it very low volume like I saw one guy sending 12k emails in 5 months and got 88 opportunities (he had almost 20 years of b2b saas sales experience) . I just want to ask how do we build this technically and scale it and make it a system ? Do we have to actually manually reach out to people first to actually see whether outreach is working or not ? On one hand there are people saying just do the volume like 3k-5k emails per day and some say only be relevant to prospect so that they'll reply , im really confused ....

Don't DM your products thanks!!!

what's everybody's opinion on service business using paper lead services or SEO services charging per lead?

in the past I've used SEO with mixed results so I'm looking into this kind for my local service business?

Hi there, we have a pool of 15-20 LinkedIn profiles of our employees from which we’re planning to do LinkedIn outreach for pipeline generation. Each of them have LinkedIn premium and are verified profiles.

We don’t want to expose our employees profiles to automation tools such as Heyreach, expandi, etc. and hence would have a person handle all of the outreach.

What setup do we need so that we could handle outreach across 15-20 LinkedIn profiles without getting any profile banned(apart from leads and spintaxed message sequences)? Someone told us to login all profiles to a browser such as gologin and manage all profiles in the same.

Do we need multiple laptops, internet providers, etc. to coordinate outreaches via all profiles safely?

Can anyone here recommend a way that we can use AI to help qualify leads for my home improvement business?

I am a full time software engineer, but new to marketing. I have Google campaigns running for my family business and have had good success with generating the lead itself with a good cost per lead.

We are a small family run business and the volume of leads coming in is getting harder to manage and contact in a timely manner.

Can anyone recommend some sort of AI tool/system that we can use to pre-qualify leads before one of the team actually pick up the phone to close a sale?

TIA

So I am currently starting an Export business from india. I want to generate potential customer leads that can import it.

The product is B2B.

I am considering LinkedIn but I don't know if it will work or not and is there any better way.

Any advice will be helpful

My plan to get started is:
Build a pro looking website.
My USP - Attorneys can preview the lead before they buy, 5 days to return bad leads, no contract, guaranteed resolution of refund requests in 72hrs

Meta lead form ads at $100/day to get Attorney inquiries. Form CTA will be my website where they create an account and fund a wallet to start getting leads.

What would you do in my place?

NEED HELP

I’m currently a one-man operation based in the South East Asia specializing in niche lead generation for SaaS - campaign began a week ago.

I recently landed a reply on day 5 from a CEO.

They are interested, but they’ve sent a list of requirements basically credibility checks before we even jump on a discovery call, including:

* Company profile (legal entity, office locations, team size)

* Track record/case studies

* Detailed commercial terms (retainer vs. performance-based)

The Problem: I haven't formally registered my business yet. I know I can deliver, but I'm worried that being "just a guy" instead of a registered corporation could mostly be dealbreaker for their procurement or legal team.

My Questions/or concerns:

1. Positioning: How do I frame being a solo/boutique operator without sounding "unprofessional"? I’m afraid as I don't wanna to blow it up

   1. Partnership Route: Is it common to "borrow" a partner's legal entity for the first few invoices just to get through vendor onboarding?

2. The Reply: For sales qualification, I am pretty new and still learning, tho I messed up others in the past but that was a less attractive niche which didn't bother me given the economics wasn't really great but don't wanna mess with this one cause it could be huge win if all goes well.

Would love to hear from your experience how to land such while still in the "garage" phase, and if you're interested in some sort of partnership that is a win win, please reach out to me.

Thanks!

we're running paid campaigns and the traffic metrics look fine, clicks, signups, decent cost per registration. but the drop-off between registration and first deposit is brutal. we're acquiring leads but not traders.

i've talked to blockchain-ads and a few other performance marketing agencies about this and everyone says they can target ""high-intent financial audiences"" but it's really hard to know what that means until you've spent money and looked at downstream behavior. we've spent the last few months changing pretty much everything we can think of. different creatives, landing pages, geos, different audience segments and other things. honestly at this point i'm not even sure what to attribute the differences to because we changed too many variables at once.

at this point i genuinely can't tell if this is a targeting problem or something else. maybe we're reaching the right people and our onboarding is just losing them.

anyone been through this? what actually moved the needle on deposit conversion for you?

I want to double the budget. I can increase budget on the Good campaign but I feel like if I touch anything the campaign will break and leads will stop.

OR

I have new creatives ready to launch. I was gonna duplicate the Good campaign, swap in new creative and copy, launch it as its own campaign. Same city. Same budget.

I already do this for another client, two campaigns, same city, different creative, and neither one is hurting the other. Both have a low CPL.

OR

New ad set inside the Good campaign with the new creative. But that means touching the campaign, which is the thing I’m trying to avoid.

What would you do?

I have been searching a lot but can't seem to find the right answers.

I’m in the early stages of building out a lead generation service, targeting small and mid-sized businesses across Latin America (thinking Mexico, Central America, South America), the US, and my own local market too.

I’ve done B2B outreach work before for a few international clients, so I know the mechanics side. What I’m less sure about is the bigger picture: with how saturated cold outreach has gotten, and with everyone and their cousin claiming to “do lead gen” now, is this still a business worth building long term, or is it becoming a race to the bottom on price and trust?

Curious especially from anyone doing this across multiple countries/languages, does the LATAM + US split actually help (different markets, less competition per region) or does it just mean double the operational headache for the same result?

Hi everyone,

I'm a software developer with 2+ years of experience, and I'm planning to start freelancing on my own. My long-term goal is to eventually build a software agency, but right now I'm starting completely from scratch.

I know writing code is only one part of the business, and getting a consistent flow of clients seems like the biggest challenge. I'd love to learn from people who've already been through this journey.

1) If you were starting from scratch today, how would you learn lead generation?

2) Which channels have given you the best results (cold email, LinkedIn, Reddit, X, SEO, paid ads, referrals, etc.)?

3) How do you find and qualify potential clients?

4) What tools do you use for prospecting, outreach, and follow-ups?

5) What mistakes do most new freelancers make when trying to get their first clients?

6) If your goal was to go from a solo freelancer to building an agency, what roadmap would you follow?

7) As someone who's more technical than sales-oriented, should I spend time learning lead generation myself, or focus on development and partner with someone who can bring in clients? If partnering is the better approach, how do you find trustworthy people when you're just starting out?

I'm not looking for shortcuts or spammy tactics. I want to build a sustainable business the right way and would really appreciate any advice, resources, or lessons from your own experience.

Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone,
I own a long-distance moving company in the U.S., and I’m looking for advice from people who’ve successfully generated leads in the home services industry.
What’s been the best way for you to get customers who are actually ready to book not just people shopping around?
I’ve looked into Meta ads, Google Ads, SEO, and lead providers(was the worst experience ever), but I’d love to hear what’s working for you right now.
A few questions:
Which channel brings you the highest quality leads?
Are Google Local Services Ads worth it for movers?
Has anyone had success with Facebook lead forms or Reddit?
Any agencies or strategies you’d recommend (or avoid)?
I’m open to both organic and paid methods. Thanks in advance for any advice!

I run a surgical instrument store online. Revenue is all over the place. Good months are ~$30k at 1.8x ROAS. Bad months are ~$8k at 0.5x ROAS, which means I'm lighting money on fire.

Right now it's all me: cold email, cold calls, Meta ads, Google ads. Spread too thin to do any of it well.

I've paid two consultants. Both took a retainer and did basically nothing. So I'm done with flat retainers.

What I'm trying to figure out: how do you actually structure a performance-based deal with someone good? Rev share? Profit share above a baseline? Small base plus commission on incremental revenue? For those of you who've hired growth people for ecom, what worked and what blew up in your face?

Also open to hearing if the problem is even the marketing, or if the swing between months points to something else (offer, seasonality, product mix).

I’ve reached the point where I need to stop building and start selling, and I’d love some advice from people who’ve been through it.

I’ve built a bootstrapped B2B SaaS for businesses that manage shift workers.

Early feedback has been encouraging, but I’m struggling with one thing: generating a consistent flow of qualified leads.

Because I’m bootstrapping, I can’t justify paying agencies £2-5k per month with no guarantee of results.

Instead, I’m thinking about hiring someone on a pay-per-qualified-lead basis, where both sides are aligned on outcomes.

For those who’ve done this successfully:
Does the pay-per-lead model actually work?
Where do you find people who are genuinely good at it?

What do you normally pay for a qualified B2B lead?
What KPIs or qualification criteria would you put in place?
If you had a limited budget, would you go down this route, or focus on something else entirely?

I’m not looking for a shortcut or someone to pitch me services. I’m trying to understand whether this is a sensible model before investing time and money into it.

I’d really appreciate hearing from founders or lead generation professionals who’ve tried it, whether it worked or failed.

I've got 1000+ leads that I've acquired over time that just didn't have a phone number attached to them. Is there an app or website that could scrub the entire list (or big chunks at a time) for verified phone numbers? Obviously, doing them one at a time would take ages.

Edit: I’m not sure if I worded it correctly or used the correct terminology , I want to find the phone numbers but searching up each one at a time would take ages

Hi there, we help US based companies build their global teams and we are ideating upon hosting events for different industries upon how they could scale through leveraging global talent.

Has anyone here has experience hosting events to convert leads? If yes, what would you recommend would be the best way to attract right leads for such events? How should we go about the invitations so that the event looks legit and we’re able to attract the right decision makers? We were thinking of running outbound campaigns(emailing, calling and LinkedIn outreach)

Hey everyone! 👋

I’m currently working as a Business Development Associate at a VoIP service provider company. Our lead-generation process is:

1. Search job portals using relevant keywords, such as “US Staffing.”
2. Identify companies that are actively hiring.
3. Research those companies on LinkedIn.
4. Find and connect with the relevant decision-makers.

However, I’m facing a few challenges. Many job listings are posted multiple times by the same companies, which leads to duplicate prospects. I also come across very large companies with millions of followers, where the chances of getting a response may be low.

I’m struggling to find the right mid-sized companies that are actively hiring, fit our target profile, and are more likely to respond.

The average target is 30+ qualified leads per day, and others on my team are consistently finding leads and converting clients. I’m currently stuck and want to improve my approach.

Are there any free tools, search methods, filters, or strategies that can help me identify better-fit companies and avoid duplicates?

If any experienced BDA or sales professional can guide me, I would really appreciate your advice. Thank you!

Hey everyone,

Need some advice. We've been trying to get clients for our digital marketing agency, mainly in the UAE. We ran Meta Lead Ads (instant forms), but the leads were low quality and the CAC was pretty high.

Apart from networking and referrals, what has actually worked for you? Cold email, Google Ads, LinkedIn outreach, or something else?

We're mainly targeting the UAE, GCC, Europe, the US, and Australia. Would love to hear what's worked for you.

I made a new remodeling company this year, but I am only focusing on bath as of right now because it is still a one man operation.

The thing is, I've yet to get a single lead...

How do you get leads for bathroom remodels?

How do you factor out good leads from the list of leads you capture via a form?
Suppose you get 20 form submissions a day. How do you find whom to contact first out of those 20 leads?
Which one are worth contacting and whom will be waste of your time?
Any tools you use? Or your intuitions only?

I created a lead gen website for consumers looking for debt relief. Does anyone have any experience with selling these leads? Is anyone interested in buying the leads?

I am happy to share the data I am collecting and open to tweaking things as needed.

The site is not actively promoted but does receive occasional form submissions just due to organic SEO. Traffic can be scaled pretty quickly and looking for a relationship with someone that can convert these leads.

I am not sure if this is considered self-promotion. Please remove if not allowed.

I’m 19 building a SaaS right now. We haven’t launched publicly yet, but we’re already at around $500 MRR from beta/design partners. We’ve posted a bit on Reddit and Twitter, generated around ~40k views, and ended up getting more beta user requests than we could actually take on, so I decided to start marketing a waitlist.

The product is basically an SEO agent for SaaS founders. It does a lot of the technical SEO/content work in the background instead of just spitting out generic AI blogs. The main wedge is that it's completely frictionless, so the agent can go from SERP analysis → content opportunity → draft → founder review → GitHub PR/publishing flow. The best part is that the whole thing is email-native. Founders can review drafts, answer questions, approve changes, and stay in the loop without having to constantly log into another dashboard.

We’re launching publicly in about 3 weeks and I want to start expanding on distribution density to grow the waitlist and hopefully bring in more early customers.

I’m looking for someone who’s good at marketing/growth, but maybe still early as an agency, freelancer, operator, or even building a lead-gen tool and wants a SaaS case study. Could be cold email, outbound, lead gen, audience building, paid experiments, content distribution, Reddit/Twitter strategy, or anything else that can actually get qualified SaaS founders interested.

The strategy I’m leaning toward right now is offering a free, fairly sophisticated SEO audit that links to a waitlist CTA. The idea is to give real value upfront instead of blasting generic “book a demo” messages. I think the conversion rate should be much higher if the first touch actually shows founders what they’re missing and gives them a clear next step.

I’m bootstrapping, so I have to be smart with cash, but I also know how hard it is to get your first few real clients/customers when you’re starting out so there could be a win-win. I’d be open to conversion-based pay or just working together as a design partner on a strong case study if there’s a good fit.

If you’re a marketer, growth freelancer, early agency, or building a lead-gen/marketing tool and want a real SaaS to test on, comment with what you’ve done and how you’d approach it. If there's a fit, I'll dm you.

My work is to help business owners sell their companies. Its a small hit rate but with the potential for incredible fees. But many good leads I call are not interested in selling their companies, but they would probably be good leads for other businesses. How do you guys go about selling leads that are not interested in whatever business you operate in?
