Lead generation for consultants
updated 26 October 2026
Consultants use HearBuyers to find people who are already asking for consulting help. It reads public posts and comments on Reddit and X, scores each request for buying intent, highlights the sentence that shows interest, and drafts a reply for you to review. You decide what to send, and you post it yourself. If you want a practical lead generation process, this one starts from people asking for help instead of broad outreach.
Setup starts with your website. From it, HearBuyers infers likely buyer roles, common problems, search phrases, competitors and relevant communities, and you can edit all of them. You can see examples from our scan of public posts, and read more about how to find these clients or how it works.
How HearBuyers finds clients for consultants
- Paste your website and review the suggested buyer types, consulting problems, search phrases, competitors and communities.
- HearBuyers scans public Reddit posts and comments, plus public X posts, for people who ask questions, want recommendations or request consulting support.
- Each post gets a buying-intent score from 0 to 100. Posts at or above your threshold (70 by default) come up for review.
- Matching posts get a drafted public reply and an X DM draft. A person reviews, edits, copies and posts any response.

What a buying request looks like
I am developing a multiplayer party game and want to make it funnier across gameplay, audio, visuals, menus, and other player facing elements. I need a paid consultant to review the current version and suggest ways to increase laughs for players and viewers. If the fit is strong, I may need additional support later.
This scored 98/100: the person wants paid consulting support and mentions possible ongoing work.
My long term tax and accounting advisor is no longer reachable, so I need a replacement. I need someone to handle business and personal tax filings, manage accounting, and keep me informed about required deadlines and compliance tasks.
This scored 95/100: the person needs ongoing professional help and is looking for a replacement now.
