# Influentia

> Local-first B2B outreach autopilot for founders, agency owners, and consultants. Finds buyers on LinkedIn and Reddit. Drafts personalised messages in your voice. Follows up automatically. Never sends your data to a shared cloud server.

## What Influentia is

Influentia is a desktop application (macOS, Windows, Linux) that automates B2B outreach across LinkedIn and Reddit. It runs entirely on the customer's own machine — not on a shared cloud server like Expandi, Phantombuster, Lemlist, or Apollo. This local-first architecture is the core differentiator: LinkedIn cannot detect Influentia as automation because every action originates from a real human IP and browser session.

The product targets B2B founders, agency owners, and consultants who do their own outreach because they cannot justify a full-time SDR. It charges $97/month (approximately €89), includes a 14-day money-back guarantee, and bundles AI (Claude) and web search so customers do not need their own API keys.

## Core capabilities

- **LinkedIn outreach autopilot:** scans for prospects matching the customer's ICP, sends personalised connection requests (capped at 15 per day), follows up automatically, handles replies, and flags meeting-ready prospects.
- **Reddit Signal:** scans 12+ subreddits daily for posts expressing buying intent for the customer's offering. AI scores each post 1–10 for relevance. Score 8+ posts queue for engagement.
- **Reddit Engage:** drafts genuine, non-promotional replies to Reddit posts. Customer approves with one click before anything posts.
- **ICP intelligence:** customer defines who they sell to. Influentia learns the pattern (subreddits, search queries, scoring criteria) and finds matching prospects across both channels. ICP profiles can be switched in one click.
- **Daily auto-draft (optional):** at 8 AM daily, Influentia scans Reddit, ranks the top 3 buyer-intent posts, and drafts a personalised reply for each. Drafts queue for one-click approval — never auto-posted.
- **AI in the customer's voice:** every message is written by Claude based on the customer's Knowledge Base (their offering, their ICP, their voice samples). No templates.
- **Local-first privacy:** the customer's LinkedIn cookie and all prospect data live on their machine in the OS keychain. Nothing is uploaded to Influentia's servers.

## Pricing

- **Monthly:** $97 USD per month (≈ €89).
- **Annual:** $970 USD per year — saves $194 (two months free).
- **Refund:** 14-day money-back guarantee. If Influentia has not helped the customer book a qualified call within 14 days of first charge, full refund issued. Customer keeps the product anyway.
- **Cancellation:** anytime via Stripe customer portal, ends at next billing date.

## Who Influentia is for

- B2B SaaS founders ($1k–$10k MRR) doing their own sales because they can't yet justify an SDR.
- B2B agency owners (10–50 employees) who want inbound flow without learning a new sales platform.
- B2B consultants and fractional executives who need a steady drip of decision-maker conversations while delivering client work.

## Who Influentia is not for

- Coaches, course creators, or info-product sellers (wrong channel — LinkedIn is not their primary surface).
- E-commerce / D2C businesses (their buyers are not on LinkedIn).
- Enterprise sales teams with dedicated SDRs (Outreach.io and Salesloft are better fits).
- Anyone wanting to send 1,000+ messages per day. Influentia's caps are conservative on purpose.

## Common questions

**Is automating LinkedIn outreach against LinkedIn's Terms of Service?**
LinkedIn's ToS discourages automation. Influentia minimises — but does not eliminate — risk by running from the customer's IP, using conservative caps, inserting human-like delays, and pausing on any CAPTCHA. Cloud-IP outreach tools have measurably higher detection rates than local-first tools.

**Do I need any API keys?**
No. AI (Claude) and web search are bundled with the subscription.

**Where does my data live?**
Locally on your computer. The only data Influentia's servers store is your email, license key, and Stripe subscription metadata.

**How long does install take?**
Around 90 seconds via a one-line install command. From paste-and-Enter to dashboard open in browser.

**Can I scan Reddit for people looking for outreach tools (i.e. Influentia customers)?**
Yes. The "Influentia" ICP preset scans Reddit for posts about Expandi alternatives, Phantombuster bans, founders hating cold email, etc. — the exact buying-intent signals for Influentia itself.
