How to find leads and sell in r/sales
r/sales is practitioners talking tactics, tools and pipeline. Inbown surfaces the threads where someone wants what you sell, scores intent 0–100, and drafts a reply that fits the room.
About r/sales
r/sales is a practitioner community, and practitioners are blunt. The threads cover prospecting, tooling, comp, and what is actually working in the field right now. For anyone selling sales tools or services, the recurring 'what are you using for X' and 'is [tool] worth it' threads are direct buying signals from people who evaluate and adopt tools for a living. The flip side is that this audience detects and destroys a pitch faster than almost any other sub.
Winning here means talking like someone who has carried a quota. Inbown helps you find the right thread early, scores it so you spend time only where intent is real, and drafts a reply built from the specifics so it reads like field experience. You post it yourself, which is the only way to keep the credibility this room demands.
