Why now · a like on your post about scope creep yesterday
Hi Marcus, thanks for the like on my post about scope creep. I work with agency owners on pricing and scope, so I'm glad to connect.

A worked example. Marlow Advisory runs pricing and scoping workshops for agencies and consultancies.

Keep your meaningful connections alive

You keep posting. So where are the sales?

You worked hard for that lead. They liked your post, they commented, and they were warm. But you were with clients, you answered too late, and they moved on. So you work twice as hard for the next one, and it happens again. You are the bottleneck, and it is not your fault.

Today
  1. 1You post
  2. 2They react
  3. 3You're with clients
  4. 4They move on
  5. 5You start again

The lead was real. It went cold while you were working, and the next one costs you twice the work.

With the Conversation Desk
  1. 1They react
  2. 2Do they fit?

  5. 5They reply
  6. 6Call booked

They react. Every like, comment and repost on your posts is gathered each morning.

Do they fit? Each person is checked against your own buyer test.

Message ready. It is built from facts on their own profile, in your own words.

You approve and send. Nothing goes out unless you approve it, so the send button stays yours.

They reply. They hear from you when they do something, never because a date came up.

Call booked. Your conversations keep moving while you stay on client work.

The system keeps your conversations moving while you stay on client work.

One page, every morning

1
See

Everyone who liked, commented on, reposted or connected with your posts, gathered in one place.

2
Pick

Each person is checked against your buyer test and your do-not-contact list.

3
Prepare

Each person who fits gets a card with your message, why it was written and where every fact came from.

4
Send

You read it, adjust it and press send, and the board keeps track of what happens next.

They hear from you when they do something, never on a timer, and nothing goes out in your name unless you approve it.

Every message is about them

All five are written in your own words at setup, and each one goes out only when the person gives a reason.

  1. 1Connection note
  2. 2Hello
  3. 3Your one offer
  4. 4An answer
  5. 5Staying in touch
  6. ☎The call

1. Connection note. When a buyer reacts and you're not connected yet, in under 200 characters.

Hi Marcus, thanks for the like on my post about scope creep. I work with agency owners on pricing and scope, so I'm glad to connect.
Joss

Marcus comes from his profile, the like from the post's reactions, and scope creep from your own post.

2. Hello. When they accept, with no link and no pitch.

Thanks for connecting, Elena. I had a look at Harbour & Vale and the operations work you do for hotel groups. If a proposal ever has to hold its price in front of a client's finance team, and you'd like a second pair of eyes on it, I'm happy to help.
Joss

Elena and Harbour & Vale come from her profile, and the operations work from her company page.

3. Your one offer. After a comment or a second like, you offer your newsletter, guide or free tool.

Hi Dana, thank you for your comment on my post about scope creep. A change form only works when the client signs it before the work starts. I send one short piece like that by email every two weeks, and if you'd find it helpful, you can sign up at example.com/newsletter
Joss

Dana comes from her profile, scope creep from your own post, and the middle sentence answers what she wrote in her comment.

4. An answer. When they ask you something, the answer is in the message and the link is extra.

Mei, you asked about charging for a third round of changes. The short answer is to name the number of rounds in the proposal and price the next one before the project starts, so the invoice is never a surprise. I wrote the longer version with a worked example at example.com/rounds, in case it's useful.
Joss

Mei comes from her profile, the question is in her own words, and the answer is taken from your piece.

5. Staying in touch. Something useful when there is a real reason, never a nudge.

Hannah, my latest piece is about pricing a rush job. The point in one line is that a rush fee agreed on day one is a price, and the same fee on the invoice is an argument. It's at example.com/rush if it's useful.
Joss

Hannah comes from her profile and the topic from your own piece, and it never mentions an earlier message.

And the call. Offered only when they name a problem you can help with.

Would it help if I took a look at the proposal before it goes out? I'm happy to do a 20-minute pricing review, and my calendar is at example.com/book

The proposal is the thing she named, in her own words.

A worked example from Marlow Advisory. The highlighted words are facts from the person's own profile or their own words, and each card shows where they came from.

Real conversations, at their pace

Nobody wants to be chased, and nobody wants to be forgotten. The system keeps you between the two, so you never drop the ball.

Sound like a template?
Every message names something real about them, like their name, their company or the post they reacted to, so nothing is guessed.
Never sure when to reach out?
The system watches for their moment, such as a second like, a comment or a question, and that is when the next message is ready.
Small talk that goes nowhere?
When they ask something, the answer is in the message, and when they name a problem, you offer the call.
Afraid of being the one who pesters?
Each person gets one offer and one follow-up, and private messages stop until they give you a sign.
Scared of messaging a client by mistake?
Clients, competitors and anyone who asked to be left alone are on your list, so they are skipped every time.
Drop the ball when work gets busy?
Every morning the people waiting on you are on one page, with the message already ready for you to approve.

The remembering is ours. The conversation is yours.

Before you start

Do you write my messages?
We help you structure the five messages and the moment for each, so they come out in your own natural voice, and you approve every one before it goes out.
Is this automation?
Everything up to the send button is, and nothing goes out in your name that you have not approved.
Will it sound like a template?
Every message is in your own words and names something real about them, like their name, their company or the post they reacted to, so nothing is guessed.
What if nobody reacted this week?
Then there are no cards, because a card appears only when someone gives a reason.
Do I share my LinkedIn login?
No. Everything runs in your own accounts, and we never ask for your passwords.
Do I need to be technical?
No. We set it up with you and show you the morning routine.
How soon will I know it works?
In the first week you see whether it picks the people you would pick, and whether the words start conversations takes about 50 sent messages to tell.
Is Seaside Buddy part of Claude or LinkedIn?
No. Seaside Buddy is not affiliated with Anthropic or LinkedIn, and you hold those accounts yourself.
How do I know which conversations became clients?
