Prospect competitor commenters
Steal Customers finds people who already comment on competitor posts, keeps the post context, and drafts LinkedIn outreach from that signal.
- Commenters, not employees
- Post text travels with the lead
- Two or three sources
Use this when buyers already argue under a competitor's posts. Skip it when those pages are silent or the comments are vendors pitching each other.
First weeks

Pick sources that actually post
Two or three competitor company pages, plus a founder profile if they write in public. A long list of quiet logos produces nothing. Steal Customers will not invent intent on an empty feed.

Throw away the vendor pile
Read the first batch of commenters. If they are agencies selling the same thing, change sources. The lead is the person who sounded like a buyer, not everyone who left a word.

Cite the post in the first note
Outreach can name the comment. That is the whole advantage over a title-only list. If you strip the context and send a template, you paid for a signal you did not use.
This is not a website crawl
Prompt-led crawlers start from language and the public web. Steal Customers starts from LinkedIn posts you named. The output is a person plus the comment that made them interesting. If you needed a TAM scrape, use a classic lead finder or a different category of tool.
Run it beside an ICP finder, not instead
Commenter leads are warmer and noisier. Title-and-industry leads are cleaner and colder. Most teams need both. Do not force Steal Customers on a market where competitors never post.
Frequently asked questions
No. It uses public posts and public comments on the sources you configure, subject to LinkedIn access and product limits.
Yes, after My Product is complete and LinkedIn is connected. Pass competitor company URLs and optional founder or employee profile URLs. Do not ask it to invent sources.
Name two competitors who actually post
If you cannot, start with a classic lead finder. Steal Customers needs a live feed.
