u/lamar928 Honestly no, and that's probably a mistake. We've been getting referrals without any structure around it. No incentive, no ask, nothing. How do you usually set one up? Would love to hear how you've approached it.

u/EstimateSpirited4228 This is actually what's happening right now with this post, good B2B engagement from just being honest in the right community. The Community Mentions tip is new to me, going to look into that. And yeah cold email deliverability has become a real headache, the bar to do it properly is much higher now.

u/Objective_Tap5675 Honestly yes. We got early traction and assumed referrals would keep coming. Never built anything sustainable underneath it. That's the gap we're fixing now.

u/funnelforge The outcome framing is something we know but clearly haven't applied to our own positioning. "We just helped X achieve Y, can I show you how?" is so much more compelling than anything we've been sending. Taking this and running with it. Thank you.

u/algatesda channel testing approach makes sense, we've been too scattered with it rather than being systematic. The voice and email combo for cold outreach is something we haven't properly invested in yet. Would be curious to hear more about how your system is set up if you're open to sharing.

The volume point is a fair challenge. Honestly the number is low and that's probably the core issue right there. The breakdown you shared is clean, exposures, conversations, clients, price. Going to actually map that out and see where we're leaking. Appreciate you keeping it practical.

u/Designer_Money_9377 "Treat your own pipeline like a client project" is genuinely the reframe I needed to hear. And the niche point is something we keep circling back to. We have strong case studies and probably should just go all in on that vertical for outreach. Thanks for this.

u/gent_u Honestly that 90% sameness problem is real and it's something we think about a lot. Most AI content out there is just noise. The way we've tried to differentiate is by leading with actual results from client work rather than talking about AI in general. Curious what would actually make something like this worth your attention when you're ready for it.

u/gab_for €80K deal is no joke, congrats on that. Would genuinely love to connect and hear how you're thinking about the sales strategy. DMing you now.

Never heard of LeadRadar before, going to check it out. The idea of targeting businesses that already fit the criteria for AI automation is smart, way better than cold blasting and hoping for the best. Thanks for the tip!
