Watch Reddit and LinkedIn for likely sales leads

A video production seller used AI to find and qualify outreach leads, while alerts from Reddit and LinkedIn helped surface warmer conversations.

What they did
The seller set up ChatGPT Work as a research helper for outbound. It searched for companies already investing in customer acquisition, checked whether they seemed like a fit for more video, and only drafted a tailored Gmail message when it could confirm a real owner or marketing contact. A commenter layered on ParseStream to keep an eye on Reddit and LinkedIn discussions and push live alerts when a relevant conversation appeared.
How it went
The poster said the agent could review hundreds of sources, but the extra filters for fit, a decision-maker, and a checked email address made the final lead pool much smaller. The commenter said the Reddit and LinkedIn alerts led to warmer introductions and improved reply rates, but did not share numbers.
Tips
Tight qualification rules can improve lead quality, but they can also shrink volume fast. If you use social monitoring, keep a human approval step before any reply, message, or email goes out.

Track [subreddits], LinkedIn posts, and other public discussions for people or businesses that look like they may need [your service]. Flag only leads that show signs of active buying intent or current spending, and include the profile or post link, a short reason they qualify, and a draft first response that is helpful and not pushy. Before you send, post, email, or message anyone, stop and ask for my approval. Keep watching until I tell you to stop.
