Manifesto: Leadbay removes the guesswork from B2B Sales.
Leadbay - Build Together - January 2024
Hi there 👋 ,
Welcome to my brand-new monthly newsletter series: Build Together. Build Together, will allow anyone in my network to participate in the launch of my new company: leadbay.
If you're new here, let me catch you up. Six months ago, I started a new entrepreneurial venture aimed at improving B2B sales performance. I documented all our process of launching Leadbay in this substack.
Over the course of six months, I had the opportunity to learn a lot about this market by interacting with 200 EURO-US B2B Sales. I identified our problem and teamed up with the best team to solve it. Our manifesto is the perfect occasion to bring you up to speed and kickstart this new venture together.
Let’s go ✌🏻✌🏻
Leadbay Manifesto
Hi there,
We’re Ludo and Milan from leadbay.
We have teamed up with a little tech team and B2B Sales leaders from Google, Microsoft, Contentsquare and Scaleway.
We are building an AI made for B2B sales Reps. We are at the MVP stage, iterating on our first model called Leadbay COMPASS with a community of 200 B2B sales reps and with the Wonderbox B2B sales organization, and WebGeoServices (Google Maps Platform).
Problem
B2B Sales Reps selling to mid-market (50-500 employee companies) waste 70% of their time on leads that will never close.
It’s hard to know companies in their target addressable market.
It’s hard to qualify which companies are in their ideal customer target.
You must cold contact to qualify the data into a sales-qualified lead.
Desperate to solve this problem, B2B Sales teams work with inadequate solutions.
Data providers are expensive and require extensive qualification work with growth engineers and SDRs. (Sales Reps).
CRMs can’t properly serve Lead Gen & Scoring, as they are designed in solos.
Automated prospecting solutions are becoming increasingly noisy and less effective.
Solution
Leadbay model analyzes your past transactions to predict your next customer.
It leverages both external and internal companies knowledge to provide insights to B2B sales reps. This process supercharges Leadbay's input knowledge, enhancing its predictive power and enabling it to address any B2B sales in the world, regardless of the quantity or quality of available data. We refer to this as a domain-specific model.
Configurable and integrated into the B2B sales workflow. The Sales Reps work hand-in-hand with the AI. The AI is integrated and indexed with internal company knowledge. 1-click integration to get started.
How we help
Our first model is called - Leadbay COMPASS - today made for B2B lead gen addressing the specific needs of the sales reps:
Set its Ideal Customer Profile (ICP), instantly analyze millions of data points within the market (external data) and within your company (internal data) to precisely define the category of leads ready to buy your product/service,
Generate the right lead at the right time with the right context, by mapping your Target Addressable Market (TAM) and identifying which leads are most likely to buy today and why,
Predict revenue growth, by linking your next leads with your previously successful deals to predict potential revenue growth,
For who
We first target the new generation of B2B sales reps - millennials and genZ - who are native with AI applications and with whom we built our product design and interactions. Here are their specificities,
They target the mid-market (50-500 employee companies),
They mostly use tools like Hubspot, Salesforce, Outreach, SalesLoft, Lusha, Cognism and sometimes even… nothing,
They are working in sales-led organisations mostly in the B2B software, professional services and in the manufacturing industries.
Who we are
We met 2 years ago and quickly developed synergies in complementarity,
Ludo is the community-driven GenZ entrepreneur, closely connected to B2B sales reps, having gathered a community of 200+ Sales Reps. Former head of ventures at Inovexus.
Milan is the AI scientist, leveraging information-poor data for AI (60+ publications). Founder of 2 startups, 1 sold. (Sépage, Blindnet)
We are teaming up with two exceptional tech profiles, including Amaury (Back-end dev) and JB (Front-end dev). Our team is backed and supported by founders and B2B sales operators from Google, Microsoft, Contentsquare and Scaleway.
Some takes:
Community-led growth comes with network effect, leveraging our expanding community as a fast track to product-market fit and growth,
Build an Euro-US leader from Europe, benefiting from the best tech talents in Paris, while targeting a EURO-US PMF,
Become the programming language for B2B sales. We envision AI at the heart of sales reps’ instinct. AI prediction, inferred affinities, trends, similarities, probabilities as “variables” of a Sales programming language to automate campaigns, personalize interactions, anticipate needs, adapt timing, forecast and learn.
