Monitor Reddit and LinkedIn for leads and alert on them
A video production service uses an AI setup for lead research and cold email, with real-time alerts from Reddit and LinkedIn discussions leading to warmer intros. · Oct 3, 2026
- What They Did
- The post describes a video production seller using ChatGPT Work as a research assistant for outbound: it looks for businesses already spending on customer acquisition, checks for signs they could use more video, and only drafts a personalized Gmail email when it can verify a reachable owner or marketing contact. A commenter added one monitoring tactic on top of that: using ParseStream to watch Reddit and LinkedIn discussions and send real-time alerts so outreach could start from active conversations instead of a cold list.
- How It Went
- The poster says the agent can scan hundreds of sources, but once they require lead qualification, a decision-maker, and a verified email, the final usable lead count gets thin. The commenter says the Reddit/LinkedIn alerts produced warmer intros and better response rates, but gives no numbers.
- Worth Knowing
- The clearest catch is that strict qualification plus verified-contact rules sharply reduce output, even after broad automated research.
Try it yourself with ChatGPT
Monitor Reddit communities [list subreddits] and LinkedIn for posts where someone is asking about or needs [your service] using keywords like [keywords]. When you find a good match, send me an alert with the link, a two-sentence summary, and a suggested helpful, non-salesy reply. Don't post or message anyone yourself; wait for my approval on every reply. Keep running until I tell you to stop.
Do this with a skill.
