AutoReach.work an AI outbound/lead-generation agent. Users build a workflow, it discovers leads, enriches them, and runs personalized multi-step email outreach with a drip lifecycle; the "AI SDR" category.

Traction (this is a pre-revenue sale; buying the funnel, not MRR)

- 84 signups, still ramping month over month

- Activation (user builds >=1 real workflow): 31-41% by cohort; high for this category

- ~28 third-party activators, \\\~579 real leads processed (excludes my own test usage, which I'll break out honestly)

- Drip lifecycle (day0-day30 emails) firing, 0 unsubscribes

- Subscription tiers ($29 / $79 / $199) shipped recently; immediate value-unlock for a buyer.

What you're buying:

- A working product in a hot category (AI SDR/outbound) with proven activation and a paying-intent funnel that just needs conversion work. Good fit for someone with an audience or list to monetize the existing engine.

Stack:

- Node.js backend (PM2), Supabase Postgres, Stripe, email/drip infrastructure.

Why selling:

- Consolidating focus. I'd rather hand this to an operator who can push monetization than split attention.

Open to offers; this is priced on traction + category, not revenue.

DM and I'll share the analytics + a product walkthrough.

Hi,

I'm a recent grad mechanical engineer. I did farm tyre optimization using fea in my FYP which I posted on my linkedin. It became a massive post for me. Many people reacted and commented on the post which helped me get my first client of cfd. Yes, not fea but cfd and it was totally irrelevant to me. But since the time to deliver the project was like 3 months so I decided to do it. I asked help from my professor which gave me like 15 minutes to guide me to do this and do that and you'll find a way which wasn't much of a help but that encourages me to continue it. I then asked my friends, who did FYP in cfd to help me and then that project with lots of help from different people completed successfully. I posted that project on linkedin too with testimonial from the client. I got two projects from referrals also but...

the problem is how can I maintain the consistent flow of customers so I don't have to do any other job and make this a full time business?

The research clearly shows that sitting through sales and coaching training workshops and e-learning is highly ineffective. Learners only retain 10% of the content. The best solution is to ditch overly complex IP driven traditional solutions for Deliberate Practice with a combination of human and AI roleplayer coaches. Practica Learning is a great example of this approach.

I have been cold DMing personalized demos videos on insta, like i've already integrated my product on their website recorded the demo and shared the video to the prospects, what do you think about approach ? Any suggestions ? How can i make it better ?

So recently I've been building many things. I am a software engineer and I am pretty well-versed with new trends. So out of curiosity, I have been learning many things about AI, RAG being one of them.

So, is there any way I can get clients for these, and how should I proceed with this path?

This is my first time posting. Please don't mind if you find it useless; I'm new here.

Looking forward to your replies, creators.

Built a pretty solid sales motion selling my marketing product to SaaS companies but now pivoting and attempting to sell directly to the small businesses and struggling getting first meetings. I have tried email, phone calls, posting in forums and whenever I get a meeting they have a real problem and our close rate is actually insane currently sitting around 75%... never experienced this before. The problem like I mentioned is getting that first meeting. My first customers on this direct side are cleaners, landscaping, and med spas I have gotten all of them through email.

Would love any success stories or feedback from anyone who as experienced this problem or built a solid outbound motion to bring in new meetings with small businesses

Hey guys! This is one of the most basic questions, but how do I get customers for a software app? The app was created based on a problem i had with managing bookings. How did you get customers? Any tips?

Hey everyone,
I’d love some honest advice because I feel like we’re missing something obvious.
We run an Australian-based Entity SEO agency. We don’t lock clients into contracts, and we focus on getting measurable results rather than selling long-term retainers.
The strange thing is that when we actually get in front of a business owner, our close rate is really strong. Once people see what we do, the results we’ve achieved and what we charge, it usually becomes a pretty easy decision.
Our problem isn’t sales—it’s consistently getting in front of the right people.
A little about us:
Australian based.
We specialise in Entity SEO.
We also build websites.
We’re heavily involved in the travel industry and are building our own travel platform.
We’re a Google Things To Do (GTTD) partner, so we spend a lot of our time building technology as well as doing SEO.
No lock-in contracts.
We’ve tried appointment setters in the Philippines, but it just hasn’t worked. Maybe it’s the messaging, maybe the targeting, maybe the market—I honestly don’t know anymore.
If you had this business and needed to build a predictable flow of qualified leads, where would you put your time and money?
LinkedIn?
Cold calling?
Paid ads?
Partnerships?
Referrals?
Content?
Something else?
I’m not looking to sell anything here—I’m genuinely interested in what has actually worked for people who’ve been in this position.
Appreciate any advice, even if it’s brutally honest.

Hi everyone,
I have made an agent for a couple of my clients where it picks up the enquiries on Indiamart, Just Dial , whatsapp and their websites as soon someone submits.

It then send them automated whatsapp and email messages along with an AI based chatbot explaining product catalogue and RFQ pricing.

The business owners are also able to see the chat logs and are hence able to reduce the tele calling sales team they have.

Please suggest what can I add in this loop.

Has anyone built a lead tracker in Code or Cowork that effectively tracks your sales leads and suggests next steps and schedules and writes the emails and texts? I’ve been working on it and tried various approaches but so far there is a lot of manual involvement that ends up not saving much time or costing me time depending on the situation.

Salut,
J’ai lancé il y a une semaine un SaaS IA pour les restaurants.
Je pensais que coder le produit serait la partie difficile.
En réalité, le plus compliqué est d’obtenir les premiers vrais utilisateurs.
Je cherche actuellement des restaurants pour un bêta test gratuit, mais malgré :
LinkedIn,
cold messages,
porte à porte,
bouche à oreille,
j’ai très peu de vrais tests.
Le plus frustrant, c’est que les restaurateurs trouvent souvent l’idée intéressante en face à face… puis plus rien derrière.
Je me demande honnêtement :
est-ce que le marché resto est compliqué ?
est-ce que le mot “IA” fatigue déjà tout le monde ?
ou est-ce simplement normal au début d’un SaaS B2B ?
Si vous avez déjà lancé un produit B2B :
qu’est-ce qui vous a permis d’obtenir vos premiers vrais utilisateurs ?

I have made a prototype that will generate you however many leads you want and will give you all the basic information: name, phone, city, state, reviews, rating, website but will also include a description of the website and what exactly needs to be improved and easy selling points. That way you could just get 100 leads and contact them without having to manually go through every business you see online. Just wanted to see if there would be any general interest in this idea.

I’m currently building Offer Engine (The name hasn’t been finalized yet), a B2B software tool for freight forwarders and logistics companies.

The problem I’m trying to solve is that pricing and tender teams still receive rates in many different Excel, CSV and PDF formats. They then spend a lot of time manually analysing, comparing and transferring this data into customer-specific quotation templates.

Offer Engine is intended to automate this process: understand different rate-file structures, organise and compare the existing prices, and eventually transfer the relevant information into the required customer format. It does not calculate or invent prices—it processes the rates already provided.

My current customer acquisition approach is:

• identifying small and mid-sized freight forwarders

• finding people responsible for pricing, tenders or sales

• contacting them directly by email

• offering a short conversation or a small pilot based on synthetic or approved test files

The main problem is getting replies and finding companies willing to test an early-stage solution.

For those who have built a niche B2B SaaS product:

• How did you get your first customers or design partners?

• What outreach channel worked best?

• Did you lead with a demo, an interview, a free pilot or a paid pilot?

• What would you change if you had to start again?

Looking for someone who can bring software development projects (preferably US/International clients).
I’m a software engineer with 5+ years of experience, mostly working as a founding engineer and building products from scratch. I currently work with a small team of 2 developers and can handle everything from MVPs to production-ready applications.
What I’m looking for:
• Someone with access to clients, leads, agencies, or business networks
• Ability to bring software development projects
• Preferably US, UK, Europe, or other international clients
What we offer:
• End-to-end product development
• Fast MVP development
• Full-stack engineering expertise
• Reliable delivery and long-term support

Profit sharing can be discussed per project. Once the client payment is received, we’ll split profits based on a mutually agreed arrangement.
If you’re already talking to clients but need a strong technical team to execute projects, let’s connect.
Text me, if you are really interested.

Hey folks - any guidance here would be much appreciated. I'm looking to help a friend improve sales in her company.

For context, they sell medical equipment to what I understand are medical device distributors, or direct to government through a tender process.

I have experience in small-ticket, D2C sales and mainly in creating an inbound marketing funnel and demand generation. My skills are irrelevant for this business; I know B2B enterprise is a whole other beast, especially in something as sensitive as healthcare.

What would be the best way to start? We can leverage LinkedIn (mostly cold outreach), and a lead list she has no confidence over. Any tips on how to get started would be much appreciated.

We expect a fairly long sales cycle given the scale, industry, and our lack of B2B sales experience, but we are keen on the challenge.

Think of this as a public case study. Whether we succeed or fail, we'll share what we learn along the way.

This is my first Reddit post, and I keep going back and forth on this. Cold outbound feels way worse than it used to, and I can't tell if the channel is dead or if we've all just ruined it.

A few years ago, a decent cold email or LinkedIn message could still get a real reply, as long as it was actually targeted. Now everyone's running the exact same playbook: scrape a list, have AI personalize the first line, fire off five follow-ups, and hope volume carries the campaign. And buyers can spot it in about two seconds. Even the "personalized" ones usually feel fake, like someone pasted your LinkedIn into a prompt and called it research.

I really don't think sending more is the fix. The people I see actually doing well are doing something slower first. They show up in the buyer's feed, comment on the stuff that person actually posts, get some context before they ever pitch, and treat email and LinkedIn as part of an ongoing relationship instead of a one-shot ask.

The catch is it takes forever. Most founders and small GTM teams know they should be doing this, but who has hours every week to research, engage, and follow up properly?

So I'm curious what's working for other people. Are you still getting anything out of cold outbound, or have you mostly shifted to relationship-first selling?

Lately I have been building a b2b SaaS platform and I am almost done with it. If any successful founder is reading this could you please tell me what strategy you used to get your first 100 users without a heavy marketing budget?
