Guess when my SEO agents started to ship? 🚢🛳️ Hermès now also handles outreach for backlinks. This little dude already scored 3 YES. Not bad!

If you're running cold outbound on AI tools right now and your reply rates are flat, you're probably building the stack in the wrong order. Here's the order that actually works: 1. Signals first. > The triggers worth watching: reposted jobs, fundraising rounds, M&A filings, tenders and RFPs, competitor engagement. > Each one marks a different buying moment. > Pick four and wire them in before you touch anything else. 2. Scoring next. > ICP fit x signal recency x buying-stage weight. > A reposted job in the last seven days at an ICP-fit account beats a job posting from six weeks ago at a non-ICP account. > Decide who to act on this week, then who falls into next month. 3. Message context last. > Pass the exact role being reposted, the exact funding amount, the exact tender description into whatever writes the first line. > Generic "fits your ICP" filler tells the model nothing useful. Each layer of this stack feeds the next. Signal triggers scoring > scoring filters who matters this week > context shapes the message itself Run this loop.

it's genuinely insane that you can paste this entire article into claude and it just builds your whole company brain for you

The only thing worse than having the CEO knee-deep in building stuff with AI is not having the CEO knee-deep in building stuff with AI.

@levelsio Happened when private equities started to take over and wanted more EBITDA juice. Less water, less cleaning = more margins. The eco message is just a marketing technique towards the customers.

Intent data is the loudest and the most poorly used category in B2B sales right now. Most teams track one signal type (job postings) and ignore the rest. Four buckets actually matter when you run outbound: Job, Social, Company, Funding. Job postings sit at the entry of the first bucket. The other thirteen signals across the four rarely get touched. Take Job signals for instance. A first-time job posting and a reposted job are completely different triggers. When a role gets reposted three weeks later, the hiring manager has already burned through the obvious candidate list, the budget conversation happened a month ago, and the urgency is real. We write that first message acknowledging the situation directly. The "congrats on the new role" filler gets ignored when the role isn't new. The Funding bucket has its own rhythm. A fresh round opens a window of roughly ninety days where the CEO signs checks she wouldn't sign twelve months later. Past that window the budget is committed to the incumbent stack and you're queueing behind whoever moved faster. Simply put, the signal expires. The Company bucket is where the most expensive signal lives: tenders and RFPs. They cost more to track than anything else in the catalog, and almost nobody runs them. Public procurement filings tell you exactly who has budget locked in. The teams that act on them either apply directly or reach the incumbents being challenged. M&A gets read as a press release. The reality is a restructuring event: a new CFO is incoming, the vendor list is about to get reviewed, the incumbents are nervous, and fresh stack decisions get made in the first ninety days. The highest-conviction trigger we have is two signals stacking on the same account in the same week: 1. A reposted job plus a closed round. 2. A tender filing plus an M&A inside the same vertical. Those accounts go straight to the top of the list.

@Pickanagency Bullshit: you can pick the one you want based on your preferences (filters) directly on the directory. Pay to receive the brief = how you get answers in minutes and not weeks. Shows companies looking that the hand picked agencies matched actually care.
