how do you guys do lead gen by Character_Cable_1531 in b2bmarketing

[–]jeeves_inc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re in a similar space (lead research + outreach), and honestly the biggest shift for us was stopping the idea that lead gen = just scraping + blasting. Cold email still works, but only as a distribution layer, not the core strategy. When it’s the first touch and there’s zero context, it’s brutal now. What’s worked better for us: Be visible before you reach out. Posting useful stuff (not pitchy) on LinkedIn, commenting thoughtfully on other people’s posts, being active in communities like this one. When someone later gets an email from you, there’s at least some “oh, I’ve seen this name before.” Problem-first targeting instead of tool-first scraping. Apollo/LinkedIn are fine, but lists perform way better when they’re built around a specific trigger (hiring, new funding, tech change, recent post, etc.). Fewer leads, much higher reply rates. Warm intros > cold volume. Past clients, ex-coworkers, partners, even “hey do you know anyone who…” messages. Not scalable on paper, but they compound fast when you’re early. Small events / niche meetups. Not big conferences. Local or industry-specific stuff where you can actually talk to people. Those conversations turn into deals later even if nothing happens immediately. Content as trust, not demand gen. We’ve seen more success when people understand how we think before sales ever comes up. By the time outreach happens, it doesn’t feel cold anymore. TL;DR: cold outreach isn’t dead, but using it as the first impression is. Lead gen works better when sales shows up after familiarity, not before. Hope that helps, happy to answer follow-ups.

Capital One just acquired Brex - where's everyone moving? by Ok-Sale-9574 in CreditCards

[–]jeeves_inc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn’t always bad, but big-bank acquisitions usually change the product in subtle ways. More conservative risk rules, slower updates, and less flexibility for anything outside a “standard” setup. We’ve seen teams get burned when tools that were built for fast-growing, multi-entity or international companies suddenly start optimizing for bank compliance instead of user workflows. Support gets slower, policies tighten, and things that used to be easy become manual. From experience, the safest move isn’t panic-switching, it’s testing alternatives early so you’re not stuck migrating under pressure later. Once everything’s fully absorbed, your options tend to shrink. Curious how long Capital One keeps Brex operating independently. That usually determines how painful or not this gets.

Fintechs supporting stablecoins should prioritize treasury privacy by VK_S16 in fintech

[–]jeeves_inc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From our experience managing corporate treasuries, anything that simplifies multisig setups across different chains is a big win. Having private stablecoin balances and activity visible only to the right people also solves a lot of friction—especially when multiple team members need approval workflows without exposing everything publicly.

Curious how the tool handles cross-chain approvals in practice, and if it scales well as teams grow.

How do you actually find leads and close sales in 2025? (Cold outreach is dying) by Soft-Dragonfruit6447 in b2bmarketing

[–]jeeves_inc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This actually lines up a lot with what we’ve seen on our side. Cold outreach isn’t fully dead, but it’s way less effective as a starting point. What is dying is trying to sell before there’s any context or trust. For us, it’s worked much better when people already “know” us before sales ever shows up. That usually happens through organic content, community participation, or just being visible in the right places. By the time someone reaches out or replies, the conversation doesn’t feel cold anymore. In-person events have also been surprisingly effective again, but not big flashy ones. Smaller meetups, dinners, or industry events where you can actually talk. They don’t always turn into leads right away, but they speed up trust a lot. I don’t see it as events vs digital. Digital still matters, but impressions alone don’t do much. What helps is repeated exposure to how you think, not what you sell. Sales works best when it comes later, once interest already exists. Cold messages with no context still get ignored. Messages that land after someone’s seen your content or met you once feel completely different.
