Claude Cowork just KILLED manual outreach.

I used to grind for hours on LinkedIn.

Now? My AI stack does it better.

- No "Hey {{first_name}}" spam
- Natural, multi-step conversations
- 12+ hours saved this week

The result: 500+ conversations with human-level reply rates.

I packaged the entire system (prompts + workflow) into a FREE doc.

Want it?

Repost (so others see it)

Comment "CLAUDE" & I'll DM you.

I've heard from many PMs that the LNO framework (as described by @shreyas here) has transformed how they spend their day

[claire vo 🖤 @clairevo]

This is what I mean when I tell people “I don’t get hired to teach you how to be a big company. I get hired to remind you to operate like a startup.”

Yes, I hire talented leaders and strong managers. But I also:
- Read all the product docs, comment on all the designs
- Review every offer letter and make sure the bar is being raised
- Have fewer 1:1s w my directs, so I can have more time w the full org
- Watch every web lead for interesting companies and ping to the right PM
- DM individual engineers about what they’re working on
- Keep my team relatively flat, and invite skips into my staff group

I’ll go on a small tangent and be an operator apologist, which is I think PG is too hard on hired-guns like myself, which are a necessary step as your org grows. I have 200 person team, and I have to hire leaders otherwise I simply wouldn’t have the hours in the day to scale to our ambitions.

The trick is to hire folks you trust to operate in founder-like ways, who also know (and welcome) the proverbial Eye of Sauron can swing their way. You also much actively remove as much nonsense as possible: no talking more about process than content of work, less polishing deck after deck, kill useless meetings that only exist to make people feel included, and force teams to show, not tell, their progress.

Lately, I’ve seen a lot of my product peers lean into this mode with glee. IMO post ZIRP has been positive for teams in this sense, as constraints can force the issue of shifting into founder mode (there’s no managers to instill manager mode!)

It could feel like micromanaging. But in the right culture, it just feels like a fun team coming together to work on big problems.

Maybe this all changes soon and we go hard into founder mode as default because teams stay relatively small. Testing this with @chatprd (which is already MUCH smaller than my last startup at same revenue.)

I have so much to say on this, because I make my living as an operator and fuel my passion with founder energy.

Maybe I’ll write the book.

“The Founder-Operator”, anyone?

Just read this very resonating and interesting medium story; What if we consider experiences as just another story in our lives?

You’re not stuck; you’re just in a story by @joebernux in @uxdesigncc https://t.co/E4xISv7ray

What do you think?

[Abdullah Qureshi @abdullah_nq5]

Hey everyone 👋🏻

So for the past few weeks. I have been working on a passion project and just made it live. 🚀

MTH - Mobile Tech House! A website for all things mobile technology. Without the jargon or complexity of visualization. Check it out now. 👇🏻

That question?!

It's so many of us out there. I believe that it's an infinite game; life. Just have to keep playing until it's our time.

Maybe we get what we want or learn what we can share with others that do.

I’m 28.

I’ve made no money online.

I see 18 year olds making $3k/mo.

Sometimes I wonder…

Where would I be if I started at that age?

[Namya @ Supafast @namyakhann]

I used to be frustrated by no-shows on the sales call...

Now, I close 80% of leads on the call.

Here's how I increased lead quality for my solo agency:

1/ No BS, Only Business

- offer FREE consultations
- add testimonials for credibility
- add a brief on how you can help them
- keep calls short (15 min) everyone is busy
- use your name, people prefer buying from a people, not a company

2/ Add ‘Good’ Friction

- introduce 'good' friction with multi-step forms
- use this friction to better conversion rates and lead quality

[Namya @ Supafast @namyakhann]

When building a website, many get caught up in:

• What's the best color for the CTA?
• Which landing page builder is best?
• How to make a viral, fancy website?

Here's the reality: None of this matters.

What you should be asking:

• How does it solve my audience's problems?
• How can it stand out from the competition?
• How can my site generate leads on autopilot?

A curveball in Nov turned into an unexpected gift. I embraced my free time and wrote 'Beyond UX Design: Master Your Craft Beyond Pixels and Prototypes.' Grateful for the detour & support from my corporate overlords! #UXDesign https://t.co/hmoJBUA4Hp

Are you working on Sunday again?

What if you take a break today?
What if you read your favourite book?
What if you spend time with your family?
What if you listen to that podcast episode?
What if you stop scrolling on social media?

It's taken me over 4 years...
