SALES
Stop ignoring Reddit
99% of B2B founders ignore Reddit.
The 1% who don’t? They use it to steal market insights, refine messaging, and generate demand—without spending a dime.
Here’s how you do it:
Find out if your buyers are there
Search subreddits like r/sales, r/marketing, or niche industry threads. Look for discussions where your ICP is asking for solutions.
Forget ads—go organic
Reddit users hate ads. They trust real answers instead.
Example: AusBeds' founder joined conversations, gave honest recommendations, and even pointed prospects to competitors.
The result? Built trust. Sales followed.
Use Reddit as a messaging lab
No focus groups. No surveys. Just raw buyer feedback in real time. Drop a comment, see how users react, tweak your messaging accordingly.
Play the long game
Unlike LinkedIn, where posts vanish in a day, Reddit content ranks on Google. One valuable post can drive traffic for years. Most B2B sales teams are leaving money on the table by ignoring Reddit.
