Most agencies still rely on random cold outreach. We’re building LeadFresh AI to change that. LeadFresh AI tracks hiring posts and buying signals to help you find companies already looking for your service. No random scraping. Join the waitlist: leadfreshai.com

@devcalledjulius Agreed, thats why im building a lead gen tool. The core idea is basically turning hiring posts into leads. Because when a company is hiring for something, it usually means there’s already demand for it inside the business. we track those hiring signals, turn them into leads.

Distribution is harder than building. You can build an amazing product. But if nobody sees it, it doesn't matter. Looking to connect with: → Influencers & Content Creators → Affiliate Marketers → Growth Hackers → Community Builders → Newsletter Owners → Paid Ads Specialists If you're a SaaS founder, AI builder, indie hacker, or app developer trying to crack growth, let's connect. Let's share what's working, what's not, and help each other get products in front of the right people. Drop what you're building below 👇

@_zidkim Gotta have to disagree. For me building is much easier. Its the distribution thats the real challenge. Finding the right people when they actually need you.

Building is way more draining than distribution. Wanted to flip to distribution a couple days ago, but given the growth strategy + bandwidth, sequential is the right play – even though building is the last thing I want to spend time on right now. Shipped today: ✅ Newsletter is live – using it as a networking tool to keep the waitlist warm (not a standalone biz) ✅ Reddit launch analysis tool + tracker - every indie launch on Reddit now in our DB ✅ Content schedule drafted, starts next week What's left: 🎯 Design the app 🎯 Backend 🎯 Frontend Sprinting to finish by Monday. 6 days left. Technically 4 if you subtract family + errand days.

@QuinnBuilds I would like to say the "old cold outreach" is dead. Now is more about timing and intent.

I keep hearing cold email is dead, the doomers musn't be trying hard enough right? Im still learning so this week im testing 10 subject lines, prob be testing 100 tho Subject line is a hook, every step is a hook Trying 4 sequences each new sequences is targeting a different angle Break off email looks somthin like "Hey seems like {value prop} isn't a priority for you right now ..." Anyone got the cold sauce?

@RCIllingworth This is so true. Specially the targeting part. Cold email is much more effective if your list is targeted and approached to at the right time.

3,000+ customer conversations later, i can tell you cold email ONLY breaks for these 4 reasons: 1. Infrastructure SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MX. set wrong and the email never reaches the inbox. delivered != inbox. your sequencer says delivered, the email could be sat in spam, promotions, or the void. → test: send to 3 personal Gmail / Outlook accounts you control. check where it lands. 2. Targeting the list is roughly 80% of the outcome. info@ catch-alls don't reply. burnt accounts don't reply. wrong-ICP people don't reply. → test: pull 50 contacts off the list and check that they actually fit the ICP you're pitching. 3. Fffer positive replies / total replies is the column most people ignore. you can have a 5% OOO rate and 0% positive rate. positive replies are the offer-market-fit signal. nobody is checking that column. → test: count positive replies last 100 emails. under 5% means the offer-market fit is where the work goes. rebuilding inboxes will not fix it. 4. Copy copy fatigue is real. same hook for 6 months.. the audience saturates. we come up with about 10 hooks a week for that reason. → test: when did you last change the hook? if "i can't remember" that's your answer. the systematic move is to change ONE variable at a time. that way the lever you pulled is the one you can map to the outcome. if you change all four, the campaign might improve, yet you have no idea which change did it. so you can't scale what worked and you can't kill what didn't. tl;dr: infrastructure -> targeting -> offer -> copy. change one. measure. then move to the next. come back to me then.

@VinayKrKatiyar Tbh that just looks desperate if its the same sent twice.

The cold email follow-up most teams send is the same email with "just bumping this up" on top. That's worse than not following up at all. The reader sees you didn't think hard enough to write something new. The first email is now retroactively suspect. The follow-up that works adds a layer: a new angle on the problem, a recent piece of news from their world, a different question entirely. Not a repeat. If you can't come up with a new layer for the follow-up, your initial email was too thin. Better to walk away and try a different prospect than send three increasingly desperate echoes of the same pitch.

@xavier_coiffard Cold email is great if its high intent and targeted.

Reddit thread: "I don't think cold emails are very effective for early SaaS." Translation: "I sent 100 generic emails, got 0 replies." Cold email works if: → Tight ICP → Relevant opener (reference their pain) → Clear value prop → Low-friction CTA Skip any of these, fail.

@aarctanz Do you target the people you send your emails to or only do random cold outreach?

Never got reply of any cold email I sent, idk how people get jobs with it

@fhxapp Following up is actually so effective. Many cases proves a follow up increases success rate a lot.

Most freelancers send one email and give up. Then they wonder why their pipeline is empty. Here's the follow-up system that actually converts cold leads → freelancehubx.com/blog/freelance…

@zmzlois @simonfarshid @zeeg Hunter gets hunted 😂

@simonfarshid @zeeg i think there should be a category of “reverse engineer to potential leads” to convert who cold email us to become customers

Anyone have a solution for summarizing "things that need your attention" from github // email? i want to auto archive all these daily github emails but im worried ill miss the 3 important ones

@tombostudio How so?

is cold email becoming my nemesis?

@rdbuilds7 Im building a lead gen tool which I believe would be a great use to founders and startups ✨️ Would love to connect.

I have 1k followers and I’m the co-founder of tweetstyler. Looking to connect with more builders — and even if you’re not building yet, that’s totally fine. Drop your SaaS below 👇 Let’s connect 🤝

@FashWrites Reminds me of that Kung Fu Panda quote: "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is mystery, today is a gift, thats why they call it present."

You can’t change yesterday. You can’t control tomorrow. But today? That’s where everything shifts. Don’t waste it.

@TheOvermanEthos Thanks man, hope so

@ParhamFardian You are on the right path. Will be there soon.

Posting on X will change your life. I gained 10K followers, got paid to do work I love, scaled my solo business to $190K+, met some brilliant minds and made friends around the world. All from documenting my journey and sharing my lessons. Hit that publish button.

@PetersonCreates Exactly. It would feel great man ✨️

@ParhamFardian @ParhamFardian Nothing flashy. Just the work compounding. That's what nobody sees when they look at your timeline. How does it feel when it all clicks at once?

Notion tip nobody mentions: Build it for tired you. Not motivated you. Not inspired you. Tired, end-of-day you. If tired you won't use it, nobody will. Design for reality. Not ideal conditions.

@Kelvincreates Couldnt agree more tbh

@ParhamFardian Precision is harder to track but it's the only thing that actually closes.

Underrated fact: Value > Volume 1 targeted lead = 1 closed deal 1000 cold emails = MAYBE 10 "almost" closed deals

@MickDeBoer Exactly, thats the game right there

@ParhamFardian Both is best. High-volume of highly specific targets. If you can figure that out, you win big in biz.

Whats your biggest focus on June? Mine is building & getting users in the waitlist 📖

@PetersonCreates When u keep closing deals, getting clients, getting good reach and views

@ParhamFardian That's the honest answer. What does it feel like when the momentum is actually there?
