Sendio

Book 5x more demos with high-intent buyers, on autopilot.

[Nick Venturi @nickventuri]

CLAUDE Opus 4.8 for LinkedIn just released.

And I'm never going back...

For years, SDRs have been burning hours on manual prospect research.

And it ends the same way every time.

You spend 20 minutes per lead.
You fall back to a generic template anyway.
You hit send… and you repeat tomorrow.

It was never about volume.

It was always about timing and personalization at scale.

With Opus 4.8, it's finally possible.

0 generic templates.
0 wasted research hours.

Here's what the prompt does:

→ Pulls real-time buying signals from a LinkedIn profile (job change, funding, hiring, recent activity)
→ Researches the prospect's actual pain, not their job title
→ Writes a personalized, snackable icebreaker that references the specific signal

And it stops there.

The conversation, the qualification, the close, that's still you.

Because sales should not be on autopilot.

Personalization at scale should be.

I sent 631 DMs in the past 6 days.

Booked 10 demos.

PS. every message was completely RANDOM

No ICP. No timing. No intent signals.
Not from a "proven framework."
Not from some $2k course.

From lines like:

👽 alien hook (3)
🐒 caveman grunt (3)
🥑 avocado opener (2)
📢 all caps scream (1)
🪄 wizard spellbook (1)

The numbers:

→ 631 DMs
→ 49 replies (8%)
→ 10 meetings booked (1.5%)
→ 0 strategy

Honestly? I was just having fun..

And here's the part I can't stop thinking about:

This is the worst possible version of outreach.
No targeting. No signal. No personalization.
Pure chaos.

Which means the people doing "real" outbound spray-and-pray sequences, AI-slop templates like:

"Hey {{firstName}}, saw you're a {{title}}" are leaving an absurd amount of pipeline on the table.

Now picture the opposite of what I did:

→ Tight ICP
→ 30+ Buying-intent signals Sendio tracks
→ Messages that adapt to their profile
→ Hitting people the moment they're ready to buy
→ All sent on LinkedIn

That's not outreach. That's an unfair advantage.

My week now looks like this:

Wake up → open Sendio → inbox full of "yes, let's talk" → calendar booked → show up to calls.

That's the whole job.

I've made a playbook on how we are booking 40+ demos a month with a very simple framework

Comment "PLAYBOOK" and I'll send it

[Nick Venturi @nickventuri]

Day 5 of DMing people random stuff to prove a point:

Anyone can get their first 10 paying customers from outbound if you actually put in the work

Just booked another meeting off the cave man line. I think this one is my favorite lol

Current score:
7/10 demos booked.

→ 3 from the aliens 👽
→ 2 calls from the avocado line 🥑
→ 2 from the cave man line 🐒

I'm sending 50~100 DMs / day

~300 DMs total sent
~20-30 replies (~8%)

And the crazy part is I'm not even taking this seriously.

Now imagine if we:

→ Tight ICP
→ Proper messages
→ Real intent signals
→Perfect timing
→ All on LinkedIn (literal gold mine)

That's just a normal day for us now.

Wake up, open Sendio, inbox already full of positive replies, calendar full of meetings

We show up to calls. That's our whole job

[Nick Venturi @nickventuri]

Founders, what is your product missing to make money?

- Users
- Features
- Execution
- A miracle

[Nick Venturi @nickventuri]

Been seeing this berry everywhere lately.

Tried it. Tasted like shit. 💩

Gave one to my son (kid eats every fruit on earth). He spit it out.

Some things just aren't meant to be tried i guess.

Anyway,

Been shipping non stop on our side.

GTM tools are about to look very different 🤫

[Nick Venturi @nickventuri]

Day 4 of DMing people random stuff to prove a point:

Anyone can get their first 10 paying customers from outbound if you actually put in the work

Current score:
6/10 demos booked.

→ 3 from the aliens 👽
→ 2 calls from the avocado line 🥑
→ 1 from the cave man line 🐒

I’ll be honest
I thought this would be harder

I already knew outbound was strong

Took a company from 0 to $1M ARR using only outbound

But this result is still surprising

Now think about what happens when you do it properly

→ Clear ICP
→ Hyper personalized messaging
→ Real intent signals
→ Perfect timing
→ All on LinkedIn (literal gold mine)

This is what our GTM looks like every single day

We wake up to a Sendio inbox full of positive replies

No pitching needed on demos, we just show our campaigns lol

[Sendio @sendioai]

@remoteoliver that split says everything right now 😂

[Nick Venturi @nickventuri]

The founders who win at outbound:

Don't have better copy
Don't have better lists
Don't have better tools

They just don't stop.

[Ricardo Tosatto @ricardo_tosatto]

people measure success by revenue

the metric nobody talks about is quality of life

i spent 20+ days in the himalayas with almost no signal

came back more focused than i’d been in years

turns out one of the best things i ever did for https://t.co/60QdME1mAT

was stepping away from it

build something that eventually gives you your mind back

not just something that grows

[Nick Venturi @nickventuri]

Day 3: 5/10 demos booked.

This one was brutal → 100+ DMs to land it.

Lesson? Empathy in your copy is everything. This one had zero, which is probably why it took so long lol

But we got there.

Sleeping on tomorrow's copy.

Open for suggestions, if you have any drop below👇

[Nick Venturi @nickventuri]

i burned an entire quarter on outbound that didn’t convert

looked back at everything

turns out it wasn’t the copy

it was the sequence

1 message
no follow-up
move on

that mistake is basically why i started building https://t.co/Lr3ehgYOYu

so i turned everything i learned into a free playbook

reply with “LINK” and i’ll send it over

[Ricardo Tosatto @ricardo_tosatto]

you should ship it anyway

it’s never gonna feel perfect before real users touch it

that’s the whole point of launching

[Felipe Fernandes @felipfernands]

nobody tells you this:

you’ll spend months building a feature nobody actually cares about

then one user says “can it do this?”

and suddenly THAT’S the whole product

[Nick Venturi @nickventuri]

your outbound isn't failing because of your copy

it's failing because you're talking to people who weren't going to buy anyway

fix the list before you fix the message

[Nick Venturi @nickventuri]

Day 3 of DMing people random stuff to prove anyone can book their first 10 clients if they actually put in the work

→ Current score: 4/10
→(4 meetings booked)

I’m DMing 50 people a day and following up after 2–3 days

Once they reply, I focus on adding value and solving THEIR problems, instead of pitching sendio features (they don't care)

This is actually fun

Also way easier than I expected

So far

→ 2 calls from the avocado line 🥑
→ 2 from the aliens 👽

Time to increase the difficulty

Next test: “uga buga” mode

Not gonna lie… slightly scared this one might work too lol

[Felipe Fernandes @felipfernands]

our reply rate went from average to 60%+ and the copy didn't change

we just changed who we were messaging

stopped messaging everyone who fit the ICP on paper.

started only messaging people who showed a signal that week.. a new hire, a funding round, a post about a problem we solve

same message. different person. completely different result

wrote this up as a proper doc. drop a comment and I'll send it over

[Nick Venturi @nickventuri]

Day 2 of DMing random stuff to people to prove anyone can book 10 calls just by showing up lol

Current score: 3/10

The avocado line was too strong so I switched to something more speculative

Aliens 👽

[Nick Venturi @nickventuri]

You can book demos just by flipping the script on people who half cold outreach you...

Most messages you get are all about them

→ what they do
→ how great they are

You gain nothing as the lead

So I started replying differently
straight to what they actually want
and it turns into booked calls

That alone brought in demos

I have been using Sendio to sell Sendio

We book around 40 demos / mo
and 4 came just from a small experiment I ran

Talking about aliens and avocados (lol)

→ you don't need to waste time figuring out ICP
→ no using questionable extensions to get leads
→ no guessing what timing is best
→ no chasing follow ups

We handle all of it (trust me, ALL of it)

You connect your account
and go to sleep

When a call gets booked
you get an email
you show up

The selling stuff is still your job

But you do not even need to open Sendio

Just connect it to Claude
and let it run

I'd cut an arm for this tool 3y ago
And here we are

Go try it for 14 days completely free (it's worth it i promise) at https://t.co/Lr3ehgYh8W

If you don't get results (our users get results within the first week) we'll double your trial

[Ricardo Tosatto @ricardo_tosatto]

we had satisfied customers. the product was solid. the technology worked.

our competitors were closing deals we weren't even in the room for.

not because they were building something better. because more people knew they existed.

nobody tells you that when you're deep in building mode.

i built Sendio because i was tired of feeling invisible.

[Nick Venturi @nickventuri]

tested Sendio on our own outbound last week. as a user, not as a founder showing metrics.

6 days:
- 47 connections accepted
- 11 replies
- 3 calls booked

the follow-up sequences did most of the work.

most tools send messages. we kept sending them after the silence.

that's where the replies came from.
