Prioritize Reddit & HN Threads That Actually Become Customers

Score switching language, constraints, and ICP fit on public threads — prioritize RevOps queue work where high-intent signals move pipeline, not vanity engagement.

Founders drown in noise because they treat activity as progress. Prioritization is the lever.

The four checks (30 seconds each)

  1. Switching or evaluating? “We outgrew X” beats “What is your favorite tool?”
  2. Constraints on the table? Stack, region, compliance, team size.
  3. Time horizon? “This quarter” beats “someday.”
  4. Your honest fit? If you need SOC2 and they need a weekend hack, pass.

Score, then schedule replies

Batch 15 minutes of triage, then 30 minutes of writing. Put phones away—context switching kills quality.

Deep playbook: find SaaS customers on Reddit & HN and the full customer acquisition guide.

When tooling helps

Once you trust your scorecard, automation should rank and notify, not auto-spam. That is the Wavly wedge: signals → queue → attribution.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q.What beats upvotes as a signal?

Specific constraints: stack, team size, budget band, deadline, and whether the poster is the decision maker or an intern collecting options.

Q.How many threads per day?

Start with five triaged candidates and two thoughtful replies. Volume without triage trains bad habits.
