# Prospect competitor commenters
> Steal Customers finds people who already comment on competitor posts, keeps the post context, and drafts LinkedIn outreach from that signal.

**Verdict:** 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.

Turn competitor LinkedIn commenters into leads you can actually cite.

## Highlights

- Commenters, not employees
- Post text travels with the lead
- Two or three sources

## First weeks

1. **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.
2. **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.
3. **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

**Does this scrape private comments?**

No. It uses public posts and public comments on the sources you configure, subject to LinkedIn access and product limits.

**Can Claude create a Steal Customers agent?**

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.
