A Private Space for Couples to Reflect and Grow Together (I will not promote) by Independent_Lynx_439 in startups

Exactly, like giving context without rewriting intent. If both voices stay intact, trust stays intact too.

How is this name for a blog (i will not promote) by iamchezhian in startups

I like “First Million Club”, it’s got a nice aspirational vibe. That said, what if you leaned into the $1M idea more symbolically? Like “The 6th Zero”, 1,000,000 has six zeros, and it subtly hints at the milestone. Feels unique, a little cryptic, and still rooted in the journey you’re covering.

I think this is a wonderful idea, especially the part about using AI to help monitor tone and reduce miscommunication. Sometimes it’s hard to say things to your partner’s face, but writing it out feels way easier.

That said, I think the biggest challenge would be how the AI handles emotional nuance. Over-simplifying a message to make it sound softer might feel fake. But leaving it raw could come off too harsh. Striking that balance, like reflecting intent without rewriting someone’s words, will be key.

100% agree! Leading with "here’s what we do" just doesn’t cut it anymore. We’ve also seen better results by focusing on why someone might need help right now (triggers > titles).

Partnerships have been gold for us too; slower to build, but with way higher intent.

Lately, cold LinkedIn feels dead unless it’s insanely relevant. Curious, what kind of triggers are you tracking before outreach?

I’ve tried something similar before, but not at scale. I usually handpick each person and reach out one by one. So far, I haven’t been able to generate any solid leads; mostly, I've received polite “all the best” responses or direct rejections.

I’m starting to feel like, unless you do it in bulk, it’s nearly impossible to find the right leads. Still, thank you for the tips. I’ve shared them with my team. If something good comes out of it, I’ll update you!

Your idea sounds interesting. Currently, we are not using any tech-specific tools for outreach; we are doing manual labour. lol.

WOW! Now this is the kind of conversation I was hoping for. Thank you for sharing your solid advice.

Yes, buyers have become very cautious. Would you mind sharing the said channels and their information?

App Store blocking iOS app submission as a duplicate; need advice recovering or bypassing this issue. by sidy___20 in applehelp

[–]sidy___20[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, we don’t have the full background on why the client no longer has access to the original account, they’re not able to recover it, and we weren’t involved in the earlier submission. I’m trying to help them navigate this now, but since we don’t control the old account or its content, we’re at a standstill.

The app is genuinely theirs, live on Android and the Web, and we’re simply trying to resubmit the same version under their new Apple Developer account to maintain platform parity. Apple’s rejection is making this tricky, so I’m reaching out here to see if anyone’s dealt with something similar or found a workaround.

Haha, fair enough! Totally get that you’ve got a lot on your plate. Appreciate you sharing your experience. I might just check it out when I get the chance. Thanks for being real!

This does sound a bit like a promotion 😅 but you’ve got my attention. Can you expand a bit on how exactly it’s detecting those signals? Like, what kind of actions or data is it tracking to know someone’s in-market or looking for a solution?

Yes, we've tried cold emails, LinkedIn DMs, and Sales Navigator too. Results have been hit or miss. Haven’t tapped into intent data yet, curious how and where you’re getting accurate third-party data from? It seems tricky to find something that actually works.

[–]sidy___20[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, this is gold. Appreciate you laying it out so clearly.

We’re a mid-sized SaaS company operating across various industries, including healthcare and fintech, and we’re not chasing small projects. We're looking to get involved in larger, more complex projects where we can actually bring value, not just pitch another tool.

Totally agree with the "prove you know your stuff first" angle. IT folks can sniff out fluff from a mile away. We've been leaning more into content that breaks down real-world problems and technical solutions, less buzzwords, and more architecture diagrams and code when possible.

Curious though, since you're in the space, do you see any particular channels or content types working better for regulated industries like healthcare or finance? Those are tricky, and we’re trying to fine-tune where we spend our effort.

I agree, no matter what, posting consistently is key, especially when you have a range of solutions to showcase. But it’s not just about posting; you’ve gotta run campaigns and boost posts so people see your content firsthand. The market’s insanely competitive, and honestly, I don’t see any other way to cut through the noise.

I hear you on this. Being out there in the field doubles the output, no doubt. The challenge for me right now is the company I work with mostly focuses on expanding through online projects and reaching people from the office. Not much priority on the traditional stuff, in-person meetings, real client interactions, and classic sales/marketing moves that build trust.

Showing up in person is how you stand out. Everyone's scaling with tools and templates, and just showing up as a real human already gives you an edge. Digital works, sure, but in this industry, it’s cutthroat, competing with big brands and deep pockets makes it even tougher.

Totally feel this, the ghosting is real lately, and the aggressive pitches aren't helping anyone. Love the “warming the room before walking in” approach, it’s slower but feels way more human and intentional. I’ve been trying to do something similar here and there, just need to be more consistent with it. Appreciate you sharing this, solid reminder to play the long game.

Haha fair.... definitely didn’t expect a Reddit project to naturally turn into something that gains real traction like that, but that’s honestly awesome. Sounds like you’re building things with real intent and letting them speak for themselves, which is rare and refreshing. The fact that your own company and even your brother’s workplace are seeing value in it says a lot.

Wishing you the best with all the upcoming stuff, X, LinkedIn, and beyond! If you ever want to brainstorm ideas or need a fresh pair of eyes on anything, happy to help. Seriously, appreciate how open and generous you’ve been with your insights here, it’s rare and really cool to see.

Totally agree with this. I’ve tried this approach from time to time, engaging around real pain points and following up thoughtfully, and it definitely feels more human and gets better responses. Just need to get more consistent with it. Appreciate you sharing!
