Example buyer (anonymized): “Building a tiny SaaS, need a way to surface threads where people ask for integrations and customer quotes.” Three cues it’s high-intent: asks for a specific feature, mentions product use case, signals purchase context (SaaS launch).

Five easy mistakes new B2B prospectors make: 1) Spray-and-pray lists, 2) Generic first touch, 3) No measurement, 4) Ignoring buying signals, 5) Treating cross-border like one market (timezones, payment norms, formality matter).

Ran a small test on local real-estate lead gen: bought lists, ran LinkedIn outreach, and hunted buyer-signal posts. Lists were cheap but noisy. LinkedIn gives control, higher cost per lead. Buyer-signal hunting found fewer leads but they converted faster.

Thin AI wrappers fail because they skim, not sink. Three root problems: models never learn your product, replies never feed back what worked, and drafts die in another tool.

Stop spraying AI slop. Worked X example: someone posts "need a tiny, hosted widget to capture onboarding emails, under $50/mo". Signals: budget, deploy timeline, product fit language. LinkedIn phrasing is longer, role + budget + decision timing.

Watch for three Reddit signals: 1) recommendation requests ("any recs for X?") 2) problem posts describing a pain you solve, 3) decision threads comparing tools. Monitor sub search for exact phrases plus brand keywords, follow relevant feeds, and save threads.

AI drafts, humans decide for high-trust B2B. Require a one-line rationale before send: “why this person might buy.” Example: AI draft: short, factual, robotic. Human edit: trims jargon, adds a personal line tied to their comment. Outcome: reply got a warm DM and a signup.

Start with a competitor-complaint Reddit thread: look for “I switched from X to Y because X kept failing on Z” or “any alternatives to X for doing Z?” That wording equals intent.

AI after a reply should help, not hijack. Never let it: auto-close a sale, blast the same follow-up, or read private DMs. Always let it: draft the next message, summarize the thread, and surface hot leads. Workflow: human edits AI draft, one-click send, log to CRM, enforce pacing.

GTM engineer vs build vs buy: hire a human when you need custom playbooks and ongoing strategy. Use composable tools (n8n + inbox) if you have an engineer and time to wire automations. Use a productized assistant (Thread Otter) when you need repeatable, grounded replies fast.
