“What did people say about our competitors on Reddit and X this week? Draft replies to the three best threads.”
“Updately gave us control of what we were doing as opposed to giving the keys and letting them go. But most importantly, the reason why we joined Updately was because it was a third of the price of the agency that we were using to do a similar type of outreach.”
“If you don't have an active, engaged LinkedIn pipeline and you have a clearly defined ICP and persona, you need to add Updately to your tech stack immediately to supplement your sales.”
“I found myself looking at some of the messages that it's created and thinking like, wow, where did it find this? This went really deep to find information that you could never do in just a cursory search.”
