Generate leads from people who just asked for what you sell.
Buska scans 30+ social platforms on a recurring cadence (as often as hourly on Scale), AI-scores every buying signal, matches it to your ICP, and pushes qualified leads to your CRM and outreach stack. Reply rates run meaningfully higher than cold outbound.
"Just churned from HubSpot. Need a CRM under $99/mo with API access. Any recos for an early-stage SaaS team?"
Most teams pick one. The best teams layer all three.
Cold outbound
Apollo · ZoomInfo · Lusha
Static B2B databases. You buy a list of 5,000 contacts that match a profile and send sequences. Reply rate 1-3%, lots of volume needed.
Best for high-volume SDR teams.
Inbound marketing
SEO · ads · content
Build content, ads, SEO. Wait for buyers to find you. Slow ramp (6-12 months) but compounding. High intent when prospects fill the form.
Best for established brands with content budget.
Intent-driven outbound
Buska + outreach
Wait for buyers to express intent on social platforms. Reply within an hour with context. Reply rates run meaningfully higher than cold. Volume is naturally limited but quality is high.
Best for founder-led sales and lean SDR teams.
