Can you promote in r/b2bsales?

Cautious: promotion is tolerated only in context — answer the question first, disclose your affiliation, and never lead with a link.

A scrappy, bilingual community of B2B sales practitioners and founders obsessed with bootstrapped growth—especially lead generation, hiring, and outreach without big budgets. Posts that solve real problems (free lead sources, contact strategies, cold call frameworks) and honest debates about new tactics (especially AI) get traction. Low moderation overhead; self-promotion tolerated if it delivers value or genuine ask; tone is casual, direct, and outcome-focused rather than corporate.

• DO ask specific, actionable questions about lead gen, outreach, or hiring
• DO share tactical methods that worked (especially free/low-cost approaches)
• DO engage in French if relevant to your audience (community is bilingual)
• DO participate in debates about effectiveness of new tools (AI, BDRs)
• DON'T post pure self-promotion without value (e.g., 'use my platform')
• DON'T spam generic partnership requests without context
• DON'T post without offering or asking for concrete advice
