Your buyers are asking strangers for a recommendation.

Those threads are public. GrowthFuse watches the subreddits, X searches and LinkedIn feeds your buyers use, reads every post and grades it 0 to 100 against your buyer profile. The noise is filtered out before you ever see it.

    Every qualified lead arrives with the reason it scored and a drafted reply that leads with help, not a pitch. Communities can smell a sales bot three comments away, so nothing posts on its own: you approve every send, and the Chrome extension carries the draft onto the thread so one click posts it from your own account.

    Lead tools are way too pricey. Any alternatives that don't spam people?

    Paying for three tools and still cold emailing strangers. There has to be a better way to find people who actually want this.

    “We hit this exact wall last year. Honestly, most of the tools are overkill. What worked for us was watching the three subreddits our buyers actually use and answering fast. Happy to share the checklist if useful.”

    Not every buyer is on Reddit. Build the list, or bring yours.

    Give GrowthFuse a job title and a city. It finds the businesses, their phone numbers and the people inside, scores each one against your ideal customer, and lands the keepers in your CRM for the dialer. Already have a list? Upload a CSV or XLSX. No social account needed.

    It doesn't stop at the lead. It picks up the phone.

    Upload your contacts, or send over the list you just built, and the AI dialer works it: it calls, handles the objection, books the meeting and texts the booking link. The transcript is waiting for you when it hangs up.

    ☎
    Keep your phone system.The dialer brings its own dedicated number and runs in your browser. Nothing to port, nothing to install, nothing to ask IT for.

    Questions before the climb

    What counts as a “qualified lead”?

    A public post or comment our AI scores against your ideal customer profile and buying-intent bar. A keyword match alone won't do it. You set the threshold per project, and only posts that clear it count toward your monthly leads.

    Is this against the platforms' rules?

    GrowthFuse is built to keep you inside them — on Reddit, X, and LinkedIn alike. We read public posts through licensed data access, and nothing gets auto-posted. You review every draft and post it yourself, from your own account.

    Who does the posting and calling?

    You post replies in one click via the Chrome extension. It's always your account and always your call. The AI dialer calls the contacts you upload, from a dedicated number set up for you in the app, and keeps the transcript for you.

    What if my buyers aren't on social media?

    Build a list from a job title and a city, or upload the CSV or XLSX you already have. GrowthFuse fills in the website, phone number and who to ask for, and the dialer can work the list.

    Do I need to connect my phone system?

    No. The dialer gets a dedicated number of its own and runs in your browser, so there is nothing to port and nothing to install. It does not plug into RingCentral, Zoom Phone, Dialpad or Aircall, and it does not need to.

    What happens when my call minutes run out?

    Calls your own team makes from the browser are covered by the seat: 1,000 US/CA minutes a month each. AI dialer minutes are separate, an optional add-on rather than part of the base price:$100 for 250 minutes a month, $250 for 700, or $500 for 1600. Go over your bundle and the extra minutes bill at $0.55/min — no surprise tiers, no quiet cap.

    Is there a free trial?

    No. GrowthFuse is one plan priced per product, from $79 a month, billed through Stripe. Cancel anytime from Settings.

    Can I cancel anytime?

    Yes. It's self-serve in Settings, and you don't have to email anyone. You keep access until the end of the period you've paid for.

    Your buyers are already asking. Go answer them.
