Listen

  1. 1
    Say what you want

    Type the kind of business, and the area if it matters. Leave the area blank to listen everywhere.

    Open Buying signals
  2. 2
    Pick the phrases

    These are the things owners actually type when they are ready to spend: "need an app built", "looking for a developer", "my website is out of date". Fewer, sharper choices beat everything at once.

  3. 3
    Pick the places

    Reddit, Quora, public LinkedIn posts, Facebook groups, trade forums, and job boards. Two or three is plenty for a first run.

Judge and keep

  1. 1
    Read their own words

    Every hit shows the quote and a link to the original post, so you can see the context before you reply.

  2. 2
    Ready to buy score

    Out of 100, built from their wording. Mentioning money, wanting it soon, and a recent date all push it up.

  3. 3
    Keep the good ones

    Kept signals land in your normal list on Find work, with the wording tools and the pipeline stages already there.

    Find work

LinkedIn

  1. 1
    Ready-made searches

    LinkedIn cannot be read by machine, so we hand you four searches to run in your own logged-in LinkedIn: recent posts, owners and directors, companies to shortlist, and posted work with a budget.

  2. 2
    Bring winners back

    Anything worth chasing goes in with "Add by hand", then behaves like any other lead.

Send a proposal

  1. 1
    One page, your brand

    Any lead has a "Proposal PDF" button. It carries your logo, your colour, what you noticed about them, the first job, and your price.

  2. 2
    Set your look first

    Fonts, page style, logo, and the wording on your public page all live in Agency settings.
