Velto guide
Lire en françaisOrganize your outreach without a CRM
You don't need complex software to stay disciplined. You need a system that tells you what to do today — not an hour of data entry.
Organizing outreach isn't a 12-stage whiteboard pipeline. It's not asking yourself every Monday: "Wait — who did I talk to last week?" I've seen founders with 200 spreadsheet rows and zero follow-ups. The issue wasn't hustle — it was missing a recorded next action.
What I lived founding Velto
When I started out in SaaS founding, I quickly understood that the development phase was only the beginning; the most critical phase for a SaaS to survive is prospecting — first to find your early users, then only afterwards, partners and affiliates.
Prospecting isn't a fun phase but a very thankless one, starting with the biggest friction: copy-pasting information across hundreds of profiles; most entrepreneurs and agencies get discouraged during this phase, and even when they persevere, they end up disgusted with their work.
I don't think that's the GOAL. With a bit of a pirate spirit, I decided to hack the system and build the ultimate tool to destroy friction once and for all; I added hundreds of profiles in 1 click — result: a colossal saving of hours & near-perfect stick-with-it, where you easily and quickly enjoy really focusing on my prospects' profiles themselves, not on information and copy-pasting it into a spreadsheet or other archaic note-taking tools.
Concentrate what matters in one place, quickly, efficiently and in 1 click; add notes, tags, statuses, intuitively customize your whole prospecting to fit your needs.
The frequent mistake: many people add profiles in bulk, but let them go cold once they've been contacted. Velto steps in to solve this vital problem.
Cherry on top: I turned prospecting into a Daily Session — each session is built to boost productivity, one profile shown => one outreach action, even more time saved easily, a major focus boost. Useful, mature, intuitive gamification.
Quick tip: In the extension, select full analysis to get an overall verdict on how relevant a profile is: comments/likes/followers and other metrics are analyzed and processed.
Three common traps
The "temporary" sheet that never gets reminders. The CRM set up too early, used for two days. Save-without-sort: 80 profiles, no priority. Belkins analyzed 16.5 million cold emails in 2024 — sequence discipline matters as much as copy (Belkins).
A minimal system that lasts
Capture in under 30 seconds with context. Three to five lists max. One morning question: who gets a touch today? Close the loop after every message — day 3 follow-up, archive, or in conversation. Woodpecker data suggests 55–65% of replies come from follow-ups, not the first touch (InboxKit).
CRM or lightweight tool? See sales CRM for prospecting. TL;DR: CRM when team and cycle justify it; before that, optimize daily action.
Velto maps to this: extension, lists, daily feed, short notes. LinkedIn detail: how to prospect on LinkedIn.
