Hey everyone! My name is Sinan Ozdemir, I’m one of the founders of Legion Analytics. My cofounder and I are currently going through the YC fellowship to build an easy platform to get users/customers.
Basically we are trying to make the process of finding users MUCH easier.
We like to think of ourselves as a Pandora for leads. We integrate with a company's twitter, linkedin, and CRM (salesforce or hubspot) api to understand their previous customers. The system also adjusts itself to user feedback so that every day they get better leads than the day before. All of this aggregates into a 1-5 star rating given by the system. This way, users are able to visibly see the quality of their leads.
We are taking a new pricing approach too! You can either pay a simple $1.5 per “lead”(people to contact) OR for growing companies and projects on a budget, you can only pay $20 for 200 leads a month. If any of our leads become paid users, we get 10% of the transaction. We are trying to build lasting relationships with our users and align our success with theirs. We really only make money when our customers make money!
We have a free trial option and we are looking for some feedback on the site, pricing, user experience, really everything. Thanks!
We're testing Legion Analytics and are really happy with it. I like to think of it more as "Coffee Meets Bagel" for leads - every day, a few curated leads come. Based on your feedback, they get better the following day. I've found it best for identifying regional businesses in other areas that, though you are unfamiliar with them, resemble your current customers.
I've been using the service to source leads for myself for the past 4 weeks. I've been pretty impressed with the results and have set up a few convos/ demos already.
There are a lot of good ways to buy "bulk" leads, which for brute force outreach is Ok. But in terms of targeted selling/ connecting - I think these guys are already one of the better solutions.
I wish I could down vote this. This feels really spammy and not in the spirit of a "Show HN." Show HN, IMHO, is about sharing code or processes that other people can use that solve a problem. This is just an ad.
We honestly did not intend for this to be spam. I completely understand your point about this being a place for sharing code and processes.
Our intention is to get feedback from you on the process we created. We are a tiny company (2 founders full time and that's it) with very few users.
What do you think we can change to make it be less spammy?
We are matching people using ML and image recognition all coded in Python. I saw the recent post about facial recognition on ShowHN and am looking into that now as well. Do you have any suggestions to improve the process?
Although the projects you're talking about make great Show HNs, the category is broader than that: it's for sharing something you're making. The main criteria are that it be real (e.g. not just an email signup or findraiser) and that it works (i.e. it's something people can try out and is more than just a blog post).
"Works" means something different depending on the kind of project. I think it's ok for people to post their businesses as Show HNs as long as they have a working product users can try.
