Case Study: How Rewritewith.ai Found 50,000 High-Intent Leads
Rewritewith.ai is a Chrome extension that helps you draft authentic comments to engage more effectively on LinkedIn. The founder wanted to target sales professionals—but finding customers who actually use LinkedIn comments is challenging. Here's how we built a list of 50,000 high-intent leads using Bizdy.
The Challenge
The founder mentioned he wants to target sales professionals, because they actively use comments to engage with prospects. But finding these customers is challenging with a generic sales-people list from Apollo or Lusha, because only a tiny percentage of them actively use LinkedIn for comments.
So we need to go way beyond a generic list. We need to find people who are actively commenting on LinkedIn right now.
The 4P Playbook
We applied our 4-step framework to identify the perfect leads:
- Pain Points: Professionals struggling to generate leads on LinkedIn
- Practical Moves: Regularly posting and engaging with other users on LinkedIn
- Public Artifacts: LinkedIn posts and comments
- Paths to Pursue: LinkedIn posts with numerous comments
Putting it together—sales, LinkedIn, comments—we know a hot place is under posts from major sales influencers on LinkedIn.
Why Sales Influencer Posts?
There's a popular strategy called the "$1.80 strategy," which involves leaving your "2 cents" on 9 posts across 10 relevant niches, totaling $1.80. This is why you often see hundreds of people promoting their products under posts from big influencers.
Upon examining the profiles commenting under sales influencers' posts, it's evident that many individuals leave 10-20 comments daily to grow their accounts. These are exactly the people who would benefit from a tool like Rewritewith.ai.
By compiling a list of people who comment on the recent posts of 100 influencers, we would have a very solid starting point—for each influencer we can find 20 posts × 50 commenters = 1,000 people who actively engage.
The Old Way: Multiple Tools, Multiple Headaches
Previously, achieving this required stitching together multiple tools:
- Use PhantomBuster to scrape 100 sales influencers from an article
- Run LinkedIn Activity Extractor to get 20 posts per influencer
- Filter for posts with 30+ comments
- Run LinkedIn Post Commenters Export on 1,000+ posts
- Import everything into Clay
- Use Prospeo or Findymail to get emails
- Export to CSV
This process took hours of setup, cost hundreds in credits across multiple platforms, and required technical knowledge to connect everything together.
The Bizdy Way: 3 Simple Steps
With Bizdy, this entire workflow collapses into three simple steps:
Step 1: Search for Influencer Posts
In Bizdy, search for keywords like "sales tips", "B2B sales", "cold outreach", or "SDR advice". You'll instantly see posts from major sales influencers with their engagement metrics—likes, comments, and engagement counts.
Step 2: View and Select Engagers
Click "View Engagers" on any high-engagement post (30+ comments). You'll see everyone who liked or commented on that post. Select the ones that match your criteria and add them to a list.
Step 3: Enrich and Export
From your list, run enrichment to get full profile data, company information, and verified emails. Then export to CSV—ready for your email campaign.
What used to take hours across multiple tools now takes minutes in a single platform.
The Results
The founder from Rewritewith.ai tested this list with a warmed-up mailbox. Here are the results:
- 130 emails delivered
- 61 opened (47% open rate)
- 9 replies (14.7% reply rate!)
Compare this to the typical 2% reply rate from cold outreach using generic lists. That's a 7x improvement.
The Scale Potential
The best part? We only covered people in sales. The same approach applies to influencers in:
- Tech and startups
- Marketing and growth
- Entrepreneurship
- SaaS and product
- Any niche you can think of
Each niche yields 50,000+ unique prospects. Since this list identifies people who spend significant time on comments to grow their social accounts, you can sell many things beyond an AI comment extension:
- Social media management tools
- Ghostwriting services
- Engagement analytics platforms
- Sales community access
- Personal brand coaching
The Math
If you have an offer priced at $1,000 or more, here's what a list like this can generate:
- 200,000 leads (across 4 niches)
- 10,000 replies (5% conservatively)
- 5,000 meetings booked
- 1,000 closes (20% close rate)
- $1M revenue
