Cold outreach is still an important way for startups and businesses to connect with potential customers, but getting someone's attention is becoming increasingly difficult.
We've all received generic messages that start with "Hi, I came across your profile" and immediately move into a sales pitch. Most of us can recognize these messages instantly, and they rarely encourage a response.
I believe effective outreach comes down to three things:
Relevant targeting: Reaching people who are actually a good fit for what you're offering.
Personalization: Showing that you've taken the time to understand their role, business, or specific needs.
Timely follow-ups: Following up without overwhelming someone's inbox.
Hi Product Huntย ๐
I'm Gwenaรซl, founder of Makelead.
I built Makelead because I was spending hours on LinkedIn finding the right people, writing each message by hand and forgetting follow-ups.
This launch covers one new thing: AI agents. You describe who you want to reach, for example "agency founders in France, 2โ50 employees".
The agent finds matching people each day, including people who liked or commented on a relevant post. Makelead writes the invitation and the message, and follows up. When someone replies, the sequence stops. From there you can answer yourself or let the AI setter continue until a meeting is booked.
About limits: a new account starts at 10 invitations a day and ramps up over three weeks, with a daily cap and a maximum of 200 invitations over seven days. Posts are published only after you approve them. Risk on LinkedIn is never zero, so these limits reduce it rather than remove it.
Most tools do one part: finding prospects, writing posts, or sending messages. Makelead puts them in one place, so people who react to your posts and people the agent finds enter the same sequence.
Makelead works with LinkedIn. Email is available on the Business plan, WhatsApp is in private beta and X is partially supported.
Two questions for you:
1. Try the agent on your own niche. Do the people it finds match what you described?
2. If you use another prospecting tool today, what is missing there?
I'll be in the comments all day.
Thanks for supporting and checking out Makelead โค๏ธ
Hey Product Hunt community! ๐
I'm excited to introduce MakeLead to the Product Hunt community today!
As a hunter, I enjoy discovering products that solve real problems for businesses and professionals. MakeLead caught my attention because it focuses on one of the biggest challenges in business growth: finding the right prospects and turning outreach into meaningful conversations.
We all know how time-consuming LinkedIn and email outreach can be. Finding relevant leads, researching prospects, writing personalized messages, sending follow-ups, and keeping track of conversations can quickly become overwhelming.
MakeLead aims to simplify this process with AI-powered outreach tools.
Here's what makes it worth exploring:
Find potential customers and relevant prospects.
Create personalized outreach messages.
Simplify LinkedIn and email outreach.
Automate follow-ups and reduce repetitive tasks.
Manage your outreach activities more efficiently.
I believe tools that help businesses spend less time on repetitive tasks and more time building genuine relationships deserve attention.
We're excited to bring MakeLead to Product Hunt and hear what this community thinks.
If you're a founder, indie maker, marketer, or sales professional, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
What's the biggest challenge you face with lead generation and cold outreach?
