You sell B2B SaaS. Bavior watches the subreddits where your buyers already talk. It reads each community's rules first. Then it hands you the threads with real buying intent, plus the quote that qualified each one.
Save the original thread, date and the sentence that describes the problem. A generated summary should not replace the source.
Check what the person needs, what your product actually supports and whether the rules allow your contribution. Skip a match if the only useful action is a sales pitch.
Keep “found”, “reviewed”, “replied” and “qualified enquiry” separate. A discovered thread is not a customer, and a published reply is not a conversion.
Reddit lead generation means finding people who already ask for what you sell. Then you join those threads in a way the community keeps. Bavior maps the right subreddits. It scores each thread for real buying intent. It shows the quote that qualified the lead. It drafts a reply in your voice. Once you approve, it moves that lead toward contact.
A useful lead record keeps the original question, the reason your product fits, the current community rules and the reviewer’s decision together. A thread is a candidate until you have checked those details.
A keyword match can be a purchase question, a general discussion or an unrelated use of the same word. Read the context before drafting. The useful output is a short, explainable shortlist, not the largest possible alert count.
Scored, opened, approved, tracked. Three screens stand between a thread and your answer.
CAC is up on every paid channel we've tried. The budget is near zero until we close a round. Where are people finding early customers in 2026?
Not asking about ads. I mean the places people go to ask “what should I use for X” before they've heard of any of us.
Everyone says Reddit converts and everyone also says you'll get banned for trying. Both can't be the whole story. What's the honest version?

Almost all of our first hundred came from answering questions. Two or three subs, the ones where our buyers already argue with each other. No posts, no links, just answers. Six weeks of that before we ever said what we'd built.
What made it work: we only picked threads we could answer with nothing to sell. The ones we forced got removed. A removal costs you more than the thread was worth.
Disclosure: we build Bavior. It watches those subs and drafts the reply. Nobody has to refresh /new at midnight. It is approval-first. Nothing goes out until a person says yes.
Sample data · same interface as the product
Only the people worth your time make the list. Each one arrives with the reason it did.
The obvious subreddit is never the only one. Bavior finds the smaller subs around your product and reads each rulebook first. You start where posting is allowed.
Most posts that name your category are just venting. Bavior tells asking and shopping apart from complaining. Only the first two make the list.
A score on its own is not a reason to reply. Each lead shows the quote, the sub, and the rule status. You can judge it in ten seconds.
Leads go stale in a spreadsheet. Each one moves through found, research, draft, review, contacted. You always know what is waiting on you.
The short list is the point. Every entry is a person with a stated need your product fits. Not a keyword coincidence. One kind of lead tool adds to your reading pile. This one shortens it.
Wake up to a short list of threads worth answering. Each one has a draft on it.

Reddit is pseudonymous. You get a username and the words that person wrote. You do not get an email, a company name, or a job title. So these leads will not enrich or import like a list you bought. The way in is a public reply, in the thread itself. If your sales motion starts with an email address, that gap is yours to close.
Find threads where people ask for a solution you provide, qualify by intent, and reply helpfully where you honestly fit — Bavior automates all three.
No. You give Bavior a goal; it works out the communities and the intent for you.
Monitoring hands you alerts; Bavior qualifies the lead, drafts the reply, and moves it toward contact — you only approve.
Give it two weeks before the queue looks useful. Compounding usually shows up between week four and week eight. Nothing ships while approvals sit, so a quiet week is a week with no replies. If you need leads by Friday, ads are faster.
Yes — buyers ask for tools and alternatives openly, and those threads stay searchable for months. Whether any one of them converts is still your reply's job.
Reddit marketing automation for founders: give Bavior one goal and it plans, executes daily, verifies what worked, and replans. You approve every post.
Reddit comment generator for founders: detailed, first-person, pitch-free drafts that match each subreddit's tone — the kind mods leave up. You approve.
