sales-gohighlevel

sales-skills/sales

GoHighLevel (HighLevel) platform help — all-in-one agency/SMB business OS: CRM + sales pipelines, funnels/websites, email/SMS/WhatsApp, workflows, calendars, reputation, payments, memberships, conversation AI, and white-label SaaS resale (gohighlevel.com). Covers the v2 REST API (base services.leadconnectorhq.com, OAuth 2.0 or Private Integration Tokens, required Version: 2021-07-28 header), 50+ outbound webhooks (Ed25519 X-GHL-Signature), and sub-accounts/snapshots. Use when building a v2 API or webhook integration, a Private Integration Token's scopes are too narrow, hitting the 100-requests/10-second rate limit, syncing contacts/opportunities/conversations into or out of GHL, verifying webhook signatures, setting up sub-accounts or snapshots for clients, configuring SaaS-mode rebilling, or choosing between the Starter, Unlimited, and SaaS Pro plans. Do NOT use for choosing a CRM across vendors (use /sales-crm-selection) or funnel strategy across tools (use /sales-funnel).

sales-houseofmarketers

sales-skills/sales

House of Marketers platform help — TikTok-focused marketing agency founded by ex-TikTok employee, offering influencer campaigns (50K+ creator network), TikTok paid ads management, UGC-style content creation, TikTok strategy consulting, and business profile growth across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and Twitch. Covers campaign pricing tiers, service selection (influencer vs paid ads vs content creation vs strategy), agency vs in-house decision framework, campaign workflow, creator selection process, and performance measurement. Use when unsure if House of Marketers is the right agency, TikTok campaigns aren't delivering results, HoM pricing feels unclear, or struggling to decide between hiring an agency vs building an in-house TikTok team. Do NOT use for TikTok marketing strategy (use /sales-tiktok-marketing), influencer marketing strategy across platforms (use /sales-influencer-marketing), gaming influencer marketing (use /sales-gaming-marketing), or general retargeting (use /sales-retargeting).

sales-idea-validation

sales-skills/sales

Validating a startup or product idea before you build it — the methodology plus the AI-validator tool landscape for first-time founders, makers, and vibe coders. Covers the validate-before-you-code workflow (problem and demand research, customer interviews, market sizing, willingness-to-pay), the crucial gap between an AI "idea score" and real demand, and how to run a fake-door / smoke test, a pre-sale, and a waitlist to get evidence real people want it. Use when you want to validate a startup idea, decide whether an idea is worth building, get a build-or-don't-build verdict, avoid building something nobody wants, interpret an AI validation score, run a smoke test or fake-door test, pre-sell before building, or choose between AI idea-validation tools (Validator AI, DimeADozen, IdeaProof, Trend Seeker, and similar). Do NOT use for growing a pre-launch waitlist audience (use /sales-audience-growth) or building the landing page itself (use /sales-funnel).

sales-worthbuild

sales-skills/sales

WorthBuild (worthbuild.io) platform help — a cheap, fast AI startup-idea validator whose differentiator is built-in customer discovery: it scans Reddit, Hacker News, and X for real people already describing your problem and hands you ready-to-send outreach messages, alongside a full report (TAM/SAM/SOM sizing, competitor map, risk + unit-economics, a Go/Pivot/Stop verdict), a free auto-generated landing page + waitlist, a one-click pitch deck, and AI pivot suggestions. Use when running an idea through WorthBuild, interpreting its Go/Pivot/Stop verdict, using its 'Your First Customers' leads and outreach messages, understanding the one-time-per-report pricing and free monthly validation, or asking whether it has an API. UI-only, NO public API/webhooks/Zapier/MCP; the score is an AI opinion and the surfaced leads are interest, not validated demand. Do NOT use for the validate-before-building method or comparing validators (use /sales-idea-validation), or cold-emailing the surfaced leads (use /sales-cadence).

sales-juma

sales-skills/sales

Juma (juma.ai, formerly Team-GPT) platform help — an AI marketing workspace whose standout in the persona/idea-validation cluster is a real MCP server (mcp.juma.ai): 40+ tools that let Claude Code, Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, or Cursor drive brand profiles, project-knowledge search, on-brand content, SEO/GEO audits, campaigns, and buyer-persona generation over OAuth (no API keys). Also a UI workspace: 700+ marketing Flows, shared Projects holding brand voice, and multi-model chat (Claude/GPT/Gemini). Credit-metered — only successful runs charge, MCP reads don't. Use when connecting Juma's MCP server to Claude Code or Cursor, generating a buyer persona from its Prompt Builder, driving content/SEO tools over MCP, understanding the credit model, or migrating from Team-GPT. A generated persona tracks input depth and is not validated demand. Do NOT use for the validate-before-building method or comparing persona/validator tools (use /sales-idea-validation), or tool-agnostic content strategy (use /sales-content).

OpenHunts Platform Help

Helps the user with OpenHunts platform questions — from submitting a product and understanding the weekly launch cycle through premium tiers, backlink strategy, and community engagement.

Step 1 — Gather context

If references/learnings.md exists, read it first for accumulated knowledge.

Ask the user:

What do you need help with?
- A) Launching a product — submitting, writing a listing
- B) Getting a backlink — understanding free vs paid backlink conditions
- C) Premium/Highlight tiers — evaluating paid options
- D) Comparing OpenHunts with other launch directories
- E) Something else — describe it
What stage is your product?
- A) Idea stage — haven't built anything yet
- B) MVP / prototype — working but early
- C) Launched — live product with users
- D) Growing — looking for more visibility
What's your goal?
- A) First users and feedback
- B) SEO backlinks (DR50 dofollow)
- C) Long-term discovery via weekly rankings
- D) All of the above

If the user's request already provides most of this context, skip directly to the relevant step. Lead with your best-effort answer using reasonable assumptions (stated explicitly), then ask only the most critical 1-2 clarifying questions at the end.

Step 2 — Route or answer directly

If the request maps to a specialized skill, route:

Launch strategy across multiple directories → /sales-launch-directory
Product launch strategy and funnels → /sales-funnel
Email list building / audience growth → /sales-audience-growth
Email marketing to subscribers → /sales-email-marketing
Landing page / checkout optimization → /sales-checkout
Open Launch-specific questions → /sales-openlaunch
Firsto-specific questions → /sales-firsto
CtrlAlt.cc-specific questions → /sales-ctrlaltcc
ProductBurst-specific questions → /sales-productburst
MicroLaunch-specific questions → /sales-microlaunch
LaunchingNext-specific questions → /sales-launchingnext
SoloPush-specific questions → /sales-solopush
SideProjectors buy/sell questions → /sales-sideprojectors
Huzzler-specific questions → /sales-huzzler

Otherwise, answer directly from platform knowledge below.

Step 3 — OpenHunts platform reference

Read references/platform-guide.md for detailed module documentation, pricing, integrations, and data model.

You no longer need the platform guide details — focus on the user's specific situation.

Step 4 — Actionable guidance

Submission checklist

Step	What to do	Why it matters
1. Prepare your listing	Clear name, problem-focused description, screenshots	First impression + weekly ranking position
2. Choose your tier	Free (patient), Premium ($9.90), or Highlight ($20)	Determines backlink guarantee and visibility
3. Time your submission	Launches go live on Mondays	Coordinate your community push for Monday
4. Rally your network	Share your OpenHunts listing on launch day	Early votes drive weekly ranking position
5. Engage the community	Comment on other products, respond to feedback	Community engagement improves visibility
6. Share externally	Post your listing link on Twitter, communities	External traffic drives ranking

Which tier to choose

Free ($0) when:

Budget is zero AND you can wait ~89 weeks (1.7 years)
You're confident you can reach Top 3 weekly
You want to submit and forget — it'll go live eventually

Premium ($9.90) when:

You want a guaranteed dofollow backlink — no conditions
You need to launch next Monday
Best value for a guaranteed backlink among launch directories

Highlight ($20/week) when:

You want maximum visibility — pinned at top of the page
Guaranteed Twitter and newsletter shoutout matters for your launch
You're coordinating a broader launch and want OpenHunts to be a high-impact moment

Multi-platform launch strategy

OpenHunts works best as one platform in a broader launch:

SoloPush + ProductBurst — instant listings (Day 1)
Huzzler Launch Arena — submit Monday for weekly competition
Open Launch Premium ($12) — next-day launch with DR65 backlink (highest DR for the price)
OpenHunts Premium ($9.90) — next-Monday launch with DR50 backlink + full week voting
Firsto Premium ($19.90) — 24-hour launch with DR57+ backlink + permanent SEO page
MicroLaunch — 30-day leaderboard cycle
CtrlAlt.cc + LaunchingNext — curated directories (queue or pay to skip)
Product Hunt — save for main launch event

Gotchas

Best-effort from research — review these, especially items about plan-gated features and integration gotchas that may be outdated.

~89 week free queue is extremely long. This is one of the longest free queues of any launch directory — nearly 2 years. If timing matters at all, the $9.90 Premium is effectively mandatory.
Free backlink requires Top 3. Regular free listings do not get a dofollow backlink. You must finish in the Top 3 weekly ranking to earn one.
Weekly cycle means slower results. Your launch competes for a full week, which is good for accumulating votes but means you wait longer for your ranking result compared to daily-cycle platforms.
DR 50 is mid-range. Higher than CtrlAlt.cc (DA30), ProductBurst (DR46), and SoloPush (DR46-47), but lower than Firsto (DR57), Open Launch (DR65), or Product Hunt (DR91).
No public API. Everything is manual through the web interface.
No SEO Growth/article option. Unlike Firsto ($149) and Open Launch ($59), OpenHunts doesn't offer editorial review articles for additional SEO value.
Small platform. ~11K monthly visitors is modest. Don't expect significant direct traffic — the value is the backlink and category discovery.
Self-improving: If you discover something not covered here, append it to references/learnings.md with today's date.

User says: "Should I use OpenHunts or Open Launch or Firsto?" Skill does:

Compares pricing: OpenHunts $9.90, Open Launch $12, Firsto $19.90
Compares DR: Open Launch DR65 > Firsto DR57 > OpenHunts DR50

Troubleshooting

Stuck in the ~89 week free queue

Symptom: Submitted for free weeks ago, product hasn't launched Cause: OpenHunts limits free launches to 20 slots/week. With ~89 weeks of backlog, free submissions wait nearly 2 years. Solution: Upgrade to Premium ($9.90) for next-Monday launch. This is one of the cheapest paid options across all directories. If budget is truly zero, use the wait time to submit to instant-listing platforms like SoloPush and ProductBurst where you'll go live immediately.

Free listing but no dofollow backlink

Symptom: Product is listed on OpenHunts but backlink check shows nofollow Cause: Free-tier dofollow backlinks require finishing in the Top 3 weekly ranking. Regular free listings get nofollow links. Solution: If the backlink matters, upgrade to Premium ($9.90) for guaranteed dofollow. Or submit to directories with automatic dofollow backlinks: ProductBurst (DR46), SoloPush (DR46-47), LaunchingNext (DR51).

Not getting votes or engagement

Symptom: Product launched but has few votes after several days Cause: OpenHunts is a smaller platform (~11K monthly visitors). Organic discovery alone may not generate significant engagement. Solution: Actively share your OpenHunts listing URL on Twitter, relevant communities, and with your network. Engage with other products on OpenHunts (comment, vote) to build reciprocal visibility. Consider the Highlight tier ($20) for guaranteed social/newsletter promotion. Set realistic expectations — most value comes from the backlink, not direct traffic.
