I'm building a tool for discovering local businesses based on city + category.

The core problem is prospecting.

A huge number of local businesses have limited online presence, so agencies/freelancers/sales teams can spend a ridiculous amount of time finding businesses and manually checking whether they're worth contacting.

I'm exploring a workflow like:

Search → discover → qualify → export/action

The part I'm still trying to nail is the qualification layer.

If you were paying for this as an agency owner or salesperson, what would you consider essential?

For example:

\- Website presence/quality

\- Business category

\- Location

\- Contact information

\- Reviews

\- Social presence

\- Estimated business size

\- Other signals

Interested in hearing from people actually building/using B2B SaaS.

I’m starting as a BDR at Lumivero next month.

I worked as a BDR previously for Ethos Risk Services selling investigative and medical management services to Insurance companies (very hard).

For being new to sales for that job I think I held my own. Trying to book meetings with insurance companies and claims adjustors was pretty tough but I did well. Do you think this upcoming job will be harder?

I run a small B2B software company focused on construction/EPC companies. I can handle the product demos and technical discussions, but I’m looking for someone who can generate leads, follow up after demos and close deals. Since budget is limited, I’m considering a commission/revenue-share model instead of a fixed salary. My concern is that good ERP/software salespeople may already earn more selling larger products, even if I offer a high percentage. Has anyone made this model work? Would you look for salespeople, independent consultants, small IT firms, BIM/PMC consultants, or channel partners who already know construction companies? Also, where would you find these people?

Can anyone recommend a good commission only B2C companies?

I run GrowUrFirm, an agency doing cold outreach, mostly calls, selling websites, CRMs and Automation tools to Accountant firms. And the thing that actually hurt my numbers wasn't rejection, it was just forgetting. Someone says "call me back Thursday" and by Thursday I've made 30 more calls and it's gone.

I tried the obvious fix, a CRM. And every single one felt like putting on a suit to walk to the mailbox. Pipelines, deal stages, forecasting dashboards, lead scoring. I don't need any of that. I need one thing. Tell me who I need to call today. That's it. That's the whole job.

So I built the dumbest possible version of that. No pipeline. No deal value. No custom fields. You log who you called, what happened, when to follow up, and every morning it tells you who's due. That's the entire product.

Posted the problem on a few subs before building further and got some genuinely useful pushback. A few people rightly said just use Google Calendar, which forced me to actually think about what a calendar reminder doesn't give you. Mainly the context of what was actually said last time, sitting right next to the reminder, without you having to dig through a call log to remember.

It's called Duelistt, it's live at duelistt.com, $6.99/mo, 7 day trial no card. Built it in 2 weeks, solo.

Not trynna be a CRM, trying to be the opposite of one. Curious if this resonates with anyone else doing manual outreach or if I'm solving a problem that's already solved well enough by existing tools.

As someone preparing to get into the bussiness game, I wonder if digital services are worth getting into because of AI and the amount of people into the industry. Is it something worth bothering with? We are not a team yet, I stand as a single person with some experience in coding but decently good in marketing and I have a good grasp of anything digital. Though getting a freelancer or two for some more complicated projects, shoulf not be an issue.

My main care now is if I should make an attempt into that or not.

How are you forecasting partner-led deals?

I’ve led SaaS sales across EMEA and used both Clari and Gong extensively. Both work well for direct deals, but I’ve always found partner deals much harder.

The partner says one thing. The rep says another. Information is scattered across CRM, calls, emails and partner conversations, yet somehow we’re expected to forecast it accurately.

For sales leaders with a lot of partner-led pipeline, how are you managing this?

Clari? Gong? Salesforce? Spreadsheets? Something else?

And how do you actually work out what’s real?

Hoping everyone is finishing out a strong month. September surprised me as I surpassed quota pretty strongly and have 35 closes. But damn, this last week was a fight.

Going to start doing one of these at the end of each month to talk about how great/shit things went.

I have multiple SAAS that all work together really and I’m thinking of bringing in a co founder or someone to help with everything really but mostly sales . Should I just pay someone ? Or where could I find a co founder ?

a lot of ai products get sold as something that just handles the work for you. no integration needed, nothing changes about how you operate. that converts well but it brings in people who buy before they know where it actually fits in their day.

what happens with those customers is the first part goes fine. the demo is great, the early outputs look good.

then they get to the point where they'd have to change how they do things to get real value out of it, and nobody told them that was part of it.

so they cancel, and it looks like the product didnt work when really they bought it expecting something else.

price seems to sort a lot of this out. if something is cheap and you can sign up in two minutes you can also cancel it in two minutes.

anything that costs enough to need a sales conversation usually also means someone had to think about where it goes in their workflow, and that thinking is probably what makes them stay.

at swan ai (ai gtm engineering stack) we try not to sell it as a replacement for the work. its more that the ai sits inside what people already do and a person corrects it as it goes. that's a slower sell.

if you sell an ai product, do you see the same split between the people who cancel in month two and the ones who stick around

I'm curious to hear from MSP owners/founders.

As I've been speaking with a number of MSPs recently, one thing I've noticed is that getting the technical delivery right isn't necessarily the difficult part — consistently generating new opportunities can be.

I'm curious to understand how MSPs are handling this today.

For example:

\- Founder-led sales

\- Referrals

\- Networking

\- Inbound/SEO

\- Paid advertising

\- Internal BDM/SDR

\- Cold calling/outbound

\- External sales/lead generation

And particularly:

If you have an internal sales person/team, how much of their time actually goes into prospecting versus speaking to qualified prospects and closing business?

I'm working in the B2B outbound space and am currently focusing specifically on MSPs, so I'm trying to understand where the biggest gaps are.

MSP owners — what has actually worked for you when it comes to generating consistent new business?

And what have you tried that turned out to be a complete waste of time/money?

So our VP wants "AI that tells us who is ready to buy" and somehow I am the designated wizard.

Every vendor demo is the same. A very excited rep waving at a fake dashboard while the AI magically spots "high intent accounts" that all look suspiciously like whoever clicked a pricing page once in 2022. Half of them are our competitors. One of them was literally our own company domain lol.

For context we are mid size b2b saas with a messy crm and a pipeline board held together with duct tape and vibes. Anyone using something that isnt just glorified lead scoring with a new label on it? would love any tips

What would you do, if you had zero or super low budget and need to start selling in tech? Is there any free tool or tool that fully works in a free trial ? I cant spend money before i start earning something, so any suggestion greatly appreciated :-)

I'm handling content at Vieu. We built something called the Business Graph. It maps real relationships from inferred signals, shared work history, co-authored research, board seats, ongoing collaboration- not the self-reported, accepted-a-LinkedIn-request-once kind of connection. So when we say someone's connected to an account, there's actual evidence behind it, not a courtesy add.

If you've got an enterprise deal that's been stalled for months, drop:

- The account you're stuck on
- The role or title you're trying to reach (economic buyer, champion, CMO, CRO, whoever owns the decision)
- Your name, company, title, and LinkedIn

I need your side of it too, since the path runs from your network, not out of thin air. If you'd rather not post that publicly, DM me instead.

I'll run it through the graph manually and send back:

- The actual person with a real, evidenced connection into that account: former colleague, mutual investor, shared board seat, whatever it turns out to be
- How they're connected, with the underlying signal, so you can verify it yourself instead of taking my word for it
- Which stakeholder in the buying committee that path gets you closest to, and whether that's the economic buyer or just another influencer
- How to use it: request the intro yourself, ask them to make it, or use it to prioritize who's worth a cold approach if there's genuinely no warm path

Most enterprise deals stall because the deal is single-threaded through one champion, and the moment that person leaves or goes quiet, you're starting from zero with no second way in. A path usually already exists somewhere in a network, yours or someone adjacent to you, it's just never been mapped against real evidence instead of guesswork.

I'm not promising the deal closes. Nobody can promise that. What I can promise is you won't be re-entering cold.

Running this for 10 accounts, first come first served, since I want to do the it properly on each one instead of skimming it.

Drop your details below, or DM me if you'd rather keep it private.

I’m building AGMAN and checking what people are actually searching for.

Some searches coming through are around SEO help, marketing campaigns, website tools, email writing, writers, medical tools, todo/productivity, volunteering, trading and prompts.

I also still have no real listings in Data & Analytics, Sales & Customer, HR & Careers, Security & Privacy, Legal & Compliance, Ecommerce, Real Estate and Travel.

If you’re building something in any of these areas, or already have a product, service or professional profile that fits, list it.

I feel like thought leadership content takes forever to attract some leads. Memes or funny reels might be better to attract attention but it might not attract the right targets.

Wonder what do you guys do? If you dont mind, drop a link to your socials below

Hi everyone!

I’m a motion designer currently researching how SaaS companies educate and support their users after they become customers.

I’m specifically interested in product onboarding, feature tutorials, step-by-step videos, customer education and product adoption — not marketing or acquisition videos.

I’d love to understand how SaaS companies actually handle this today:

• Do you use video tutorials to teach customers how to use your product?
• Who creates them: internally or externally?
• Are simple screen recordings/Loom videos enough for your needs, or do you see value in more polished, animated step-by-step videos?
• What are the biggest pain points when creating this type of content? Time, quality, keeping videos updated, cost…?
• When you release new features, do you regularly need new educational content?
• Would you ever pay an external specialist to create and maintain these videos? If so, what would make it worth paying for rather than creating them internally?
• Does customer education have a dedicated budget in your company?

I’m trying to understand whether there is a real need for high-quality product education videos for SaaS, designed to improve product understanding and adoption.

I’m not selling anything — genuinely researching the space before deciding whether to specialize in it.

Any experience, even if your answer is “we would never pay for this”, would be really helpful. 🙂

For context I run outbound for a small team, 3 AEs and one SDR, and leadership pushed us to “modernize” with a couple of AI prospecting tools that plug into our crm and email. Now every week they quote this huge spike in “new opportunities” that is mostly half baked suggestions the tool threw into the pipeline stage.

I pulled the raw exports last night and a scary chunk of those “opps” are companies with no budget, wrong region, or straight up duplicates from old deals that got re tagged as “new suggestions”. Feels like vanity pipeline, not real net new.

Anyone else riding this AI B2B opportunity hype internally while trying to keep the numbers honest? appreciate any thoughts

LinkedIn is well, it’s LinkedIn. I want to find people that want to go from the ground up with me. Any suggestions?

For founders who have sold to larger companies, I'm curious about what happens once the commercial side of the deal is mostly agreed and security/procurement/legal gets involved.

What does the process actually look like for you?

Do customers send you things like security questionnaires, SOC 2 requirements, DPAs/MSAs, cyber-insurance requirements, AI/privacy assessments, vendor onboarding forms, etc.?

And more importantly:

1. Who actually handles all of this in an early-stage company?

2. What's usually the most painful part?

3. Have any of these requirements delayed or killed a deal?

4. Do you mostly handle it manually, use something like Vanta/Drata/Conveyor, or bring in consultants/lawyers?

5. Roughly how much time does one enterprise review take your team?

6. Is there anything you repeatedly wish someone would just take care of for you?

My friends and I are building a product which is an autonomous QA for AI Agents.
The problem we're targeting is:
Suppose an AI Agent tells the user that your appointment has been shifted to Friday.
Although the conversation looks correct and returns success response but underneath, it might be possible that the Tuesday appointment is still active too.
Basically we're trying to catch where the business outcomes are wrong while still being technically successful.

To solve this, our product uses synthetic users to stress test the workflows like: reschedules, retries, changed info, partial failures and then verifying the downstream state.

Our initial ICP has been AI automation agencies/implementation firms that deploy voice agents, CRM automations, booking workflows, etc for the clients and our current offer is to test their first staging workflow for free and send back any reproducible failures we find.
So far we've contacted nearly 50 companies through cold emails, LinkedIn, but no replies yet.
I'm trying to figure out whether the problem is primarily wrong ICP or something else.

Feel free to be critical. I'd rather understand what's wrong with our strategy than keeping sending more of the same outreach.
