What's the next big evolution of slik.ai? Obviously I've been a fan since the start. What next?
(I used to use your chrome extension)
Im curious to know about the 'advanced filtering' what kind of fields can you segment by? It doesnt have much info on this on your website.
Game changer for outbound sales. Cheaper and more accurate than using something like data.com, and faster/cheaper than LinkedIn. @soroushg_ @stefanstok can you share any more technical details about how slik works, and the tech stack powering the service?
I'm a few days late here (blame it on the beach! haha), but I'm just as excited as everyone else to see @stefanstok and @soroushg_ launch @slik after all the time they've spent working so hard on it. Like a few other people here, I've been privy to parts of the building process, and had numerous discussion with Stefan on how things have progressed, culminating very much in their YC acceptance. Very happy to see it finally up, congrats guys!
Since the launch of Slik (and i think even before),i have been following the journey of @soroushg_
and @stefanstok The 2 are really impressive and 2 hard-working and talented young people 👍 They are inspiring young people to start 💪
Congratulations on the launch today !! 🎉
Also congratulations on joining YCombinator for the S17 Batch. Just by joining YC you are breaking a record so I am looking forward to Demo Day 🙌
Congratulations on the release! Super impressed with the product and pace of updates!!
Congrats on the launch @stefanstok been using Slik since the beta days. Works quite well and the email data is very accurate. I'm sure it has only gotten better since.
Hey Makers! I'm Soroush, the co-founder of Slik. Thank you Nick for hunting us.
We have a free trial of 50 credits if you signup at slik.ai. Would love to get feedback and I'll be on Product Hunt all day today answering questions, so ask away.
I'd be very cautious using any email leads like this outside of the US. While it doesn't breach CAN-SPAM, it does breach PECR, CASL, German law and the upcoming GDPR to name a few. My advice is never to send cold emails.
@samsexton I think there's a distinction between selling and marketing here. If the data was collated from public sources and not from lists where the user gave permission for something else entirely then it should be fine.
As long as it's transactional and not marketing. Adding these into a sales sequence and waiting for a reply is no different from researching yourself and emailing personally.
*As long as all these emails are gathered from public sources.*
@samsexton Your advice is poorly positioned. Here's some evidence: http://bit.ly/viciousgrowth
@stinhambo unfortunately the law just isn't with you on this. The PECR regulations for instance, prohibit unsolicited mail to individuals and it makes special note that an individual is any one person. So public or not, that does not omit email senders from the law.
@datarade On the contrary I think good business ethics and following the law of the countries in which you send are very good bits of advice.
@stinhambo @samsexton How do you think LinkedIn grew massive?
or SocialCam?
etc... Your advice is okay, but not good for new companies in the USA.
Nice! It mentions on the home page '95%+ Email Accuracy'. Are users still charged for incorrect emails?
@joshuajomiller Hey Joshua, we only charge users for emails that we find and are deliverable.
@joshuajomiller @stefanstok Hey Joshua.
The product seems really cool, but I got 35 credits used (out of the free 50) and I have 7 emails once I upload this into my mailchimp account.
Is there a way to just select those with emails ?
@stefanstok @joseph_ayoub
Joseph, I recommend you asking your question to @stefanstok the maker. I am just an interested PH'er :) I Can't help you with you questions!
Going through the leads, there's a ton in there. Definitely something the b2b world needs is BETTER leads.
