I hadn t been able to post for a long time because things have been so busy, but lately I ve been hearing more and more salespeople around me saying how difficult sales has become. That made me want to share something that happened to me and, in my own way, try to motivate everyone, whether I know them personally or not.
Back in my twenties, I came home one evening after a terrible day of going from shop to shop with my bag, trying to make cold sales. Of course, I looked completely miserable. I didn t even talk during dinner, so naturally my father asked me what was wrong. I told him how much I had struggled in the area I visited that day and that I hadn t managed to get a single order.
My father was one of the most respected salespeople of his time, and I honestly hope I can be as good as he was one day.
He told me a story, and ever since that day, whenever I start losing hope, I remember that story and try to motivate myself.
Years ago, he had been walking around Kad k y with his bag, trying to win new customers. From morning until evening, every place he walked into turned him down. No one was interested, and by the end of the day he felt completely discouraged. At that time, we were living in Be ikta , and it was already quite late. For the first time, he had gone through an entire day without making a sale. As he was sadly heading toward the shore to catch the last ferry home, he saw a restaurant called Koru am. He thought, They probably won t be interested this late in the evening, but let me at least give it one try, and he went inside. By pure chance, they had used up their last detergent that very day and urgently needed more. The restaurant owner told him, It s impressive that you re still chasing your work at this hour, and placed an order that was worth almost a full week of sales for my father.
If he had let his frustration get the better of him and thought, No, they probably won t buy anyway, before even walking in, he would have missed out on that great sale.
You never really know when a sale is going to come. The same thing has happened to me many times too. Maybe I ll share those stories another time :) The important thing is not to give up and to keep trying.
If you have any memories like this that helped motivate you and lifted your spirits, I d love to hear them too. I think all of us could use that kind of encouragement these days.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
We’re the Leadport AI team.
Over the past year, we kept asking ourselves the same question:
Why do sales teams still lose hot leads, even with great CRMs and automations?
The problem isn’t just collecting leads.
It’s reacting to them fast enough and connecting each one with the right salesperson at the right moment.
So, we built Leadport AI, a system that:
⚡ Calls every new lead in under 10 seconds
🎯 Routes the call to the right salesperson based on your rules (source, region, product, working hours, etc.)
🤖 Analyzes every conversation with AI, creating summaries, insights, and personalized feedback
📊 Reports everything clearly so teams can see what’s working and what’s not
Our goal is simple: help sales teams respond instantly, learn continuously, and never miss a “golden moment” again.
We’d love to hear from you 👇
👉 How are you currently handling and analyzing your new leads?
— The Leadport AI Team 🚀
@ardabur it mentioned 1500+ integrations so how does the builtin crm handle two way syncing with something like hubspot?
@ardabur do the ai call transcripts live strictly in leadport or do they push directly to our existing crm records?
@mohsinproduct AI-generated call transcripts, summaries, and insights are available directly in Leadport.
When it comes to syncing them with your existing CRM, it depends on the CRM you're using and the integration requirements. We can explore custom API integrations for that.
Our goal is to help sales teams avoid managing the same customer information manually across multiple systems.
@mohsinproduct Hey Mohsin, great question!
You can use Leadport alongside your existing CRM, including HubSpot. Through Zapier, you can automatically send leads from HubSpot to Leadport and trigger instant calls.
For two-way syncing, we can also build custom API integrations depending on what data needs to be exchanged and what your CRM supports.
The idea isn't to replace your existing CRM, but to bring Leadport's instant response and sales follow-up capabilities into your current workflow.
I liked “golden moment” approach, @ardabur
I wonder which channels do Leadport AI support, in terms of communication?
@ihsany Thanks, Ihsan!
Our main communication channel is voice calls. With Leadport, sales teams can connect with new leads by phone in as little as 10 seconds. That's exactly what our Golden Moment approach is all about.
We capture leads from multiple sources, including websites, Facebook and Instagram through our native Meta integration, LinkedIn ads, CRM integrations, and Zapier, which allows you to connect Leadport with a wide range of lead generation apps.
So no matter where your leads come from, Leadport helps your sales team respond instantly and manage calls, follow-ups, and customer interactions in one place.
Looks like a well thought solution, congrats!
