Sales
Change-triggered B2B prospecting: source, date, reason — drafts only
“Find SaaS leads” is too vague; funding news alone rarely proves someone needs your offer.
What hurt
Val Holland (@valsmoneycircle) shared an 8-part B2B prospecting workflow for founders: give Grok Bot a tougher assignment — find five companies where something changed that makes your offer relevant; require a source, a date, and a reason to reach out. Start with a specific brief (customer, problem, disqualifiers). Hunt change signals tied to the offer (first partnerships hire, new segment, marketplace launch, public ask) — not funding alone. Separate fact from sales hypothesis. Review the first five yourself; keep outreach as drafts. Author-quoted research prompt included. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
Specific brief → change signals → fact vs hypothesis → cited shortlist → human review → draft outreach only.
Bots
Change-triggered research bot
Finds ≤5 accounts with recent relevant change; cites source/date/reason; separates fact vs hypothesis; drafts only.

Scorecard: accepted accounts, positive replies, qualified meetings; rejection notes on weak matches.
Routines
None on the first run. Watch one manual pass first.
The prompt
Author-quoted change-triggered research prompt
Quoted from @valsmoneycircle note_tweet (thread 5/8) — as published. Do not invent a second system prompt.
Last line is our approval fence: Never send, post, spend, or buy without my explicit yes.
Find up to 5 [target accounts] with a development in the last 30 days relevant to [offer]. Return source links, event dates, fit evidence, likely buyer, unknowns, and a useful first offer. Return fewer if evidence is weak. Don’t guess emails. Never send, post, spend, or buy without my explicit yes.
First run
- 1Read https://x.com/valsmoneycircle/status/2103181561117933986 (full 8-part thread) before building.
- 2Write a specific brief: who you sell to, the problem you solve, and what rules an account out.
- 3Paste Val’s research prompt (in prompts[]) with your [target accounts] and [offer] filled in.
- 4Require source link + event date + reason; make the bot separate fact from sales hypothesis; return fewer if weak.
- 5Review the first five yourself; keep outreach as drafts until you approve send.
Approval fence
No outbound send, CRM write that burns a lead, or email guessing without your yes. Drafts only until you approve.
What to tweak
Steal source/date/reason + fact≠hypothesis + drafts-only. Weak evidence → return fewer, don’t invent emails.
